I'm closing the deal on a new V-session set.
I want to be able to use this kit on the road as well as in my house. I'm in the dark as far as pro-audio is concerned. Heres my issues:
If i'm going to take these thing out, it's only (foreseeably) going to be used in bars. Most of the bars and clubs by me are fairly small (150-200ppl?).
Do I really need monitors, subwoofers and stage (PA?) speakers to satisy myself, and the crowd? Why go with the big ass monitors when, I'm thinking all I have to do is get a pair of powered speakers (100w ea?) and put them behind me facing out?
I've been searching through here on tips for this scenario, I'm not exactly what the rest of you consider to be a small, medium, or large venue. I'd consider a local bar to be a fairly tiny venue compaired to a concert hall or say, a stadium.
After forking out 5k on the kit itself, I'm not going to have too much left over for anyone else but myself hear me play. (Unless I invest in a very wide headed Headphone setup)
Do you think spending ~$500 on stage sound will cover venues the size of the bars I will most likely be playing in?
If so, what can you suggest?
If not. what is the average setup for these types of venues?
Thanks for anything you can throw my way,
