Hello all,
I'm part of a social justice org in L.A. We're a volunteer group and have an office that we are mid-makeover on. Up until now we've used a pair of Mackie Thump speakers on tripods and an 8 channel mixer. We're considering hanging passives from the ceiling and maybe using a powered mixer. The Mackies we've been using are 1350 watts each and were plenty of volume, probably a bit of overkill.
I'm not by any means a pro, and would love some advice. Stuff that I've read elsewhere raised the idea of a pair of speakers hanging just in front of the listening audience and a slightly smaller pair further back in the room. That sounds sensible. I like better distribution rather than more power in one end of the room, but I really don't trust my own amateurish opinion. If anyone has suggestions, about what type of powered mixer, or maybe instead, using an amplifier with a separate small mixer, and what kind of speakers including brand and how many watts and what model and all that, we'd be really grateful.
Thanks very much,
Scott Scheffer
