RLC, do you know if Mackie manufactures their neodymium drivers or outsourced?
Where do they make their speakers?

I believe the new SRM450V2 are made here in the states, mine(not V2) were made in China but I still love em even tho they weigh 10 lbs more

Actually Lonman, by personal I meant "the one that you use". I figured the people who are KJ's here would probably list their gig setup and others might list their home setup. Basically the one you use most often.

Well the one I use most often IS my gig rig since I work on it 7 nights a week, but as a host I do not sing so I guess I don't really use it in that respect. My personal home system is what I listed above.

Ok, I'll bite, this is officially the first time I have actually posted my gear or at least a partial list, (don't faint Vicki). I will forgo the two ten space racks filled with mistakes and non essential gear I no longer use. Karaoke isn't the primary use
of my gear but it does fill that role when needed.

Tops: 2 Yorkville U15P's Three way, tri powered speaker with 600 watts
on the 15's, 150 watts on the three 5's and 150 watts on the
compression driver. B&C loaded.

Bottoms: 2 Yorkville LS800P Self powered, single 18, B&C loaded, rated @ 1500 watts each.

Mic's: 1 SM57, 1 SM 58, 3 Beta 58's, 1 old Nady 201 wireless with a SM58 head.

Mixer: Allen & Heath MixWiz 14:4:2

Monitor Amp: Yamaha P5000S with a Peavey QF131 FLS 31 band graphic EQ and Yamaha
MG12/4 FX mixer.

Monitors: 2 Carvin 722's. actually now just the cabinets are Carvin, they are loaded with Eminence
Delta Pro-12A, Selenium crossovers and Emilar EC175 Compression drivers.

Processors: Lexicon MPX1, Roland SDE 1000, Alesis XT. All other speaker management and
processing is handled by a DBX Driverack PA.

Laptop: Compaq Presario running PCDJ-KJ

Am I happy with it? Absolutely, easy to transport and setup, Sounds fantastic and enough power
to handle any situation. I may switch computers and software someday though.
