Hey everyone. I had a question that I've been meaning to take care of for some time.
My group and I are fed up with our hokie POS rehearsal monitor setup. For the past year and a half we've just run vocals through my DAW, into the headphone amp, and cranked the volume till the headphones were making our ears bleed. It was the only way we could hear those damn vocals without a PA.
Now, we've made some money off the record, so we are ready to invest in something decent to rehearse with. Our rehearsal volume is pretty high, and we play the following instruments:
Guitar -> Fender Hot Rod Deville 410 (REALLY LOUD)
Bass -> Ampeg SVT classic stack (6x10)
Rhodes -> Fender Twin Reverb
Drums -> DW maple
So, needless to say, even with our volumes turned down, we're pretty damn loud. So, any recommendations? We want to keep the budget maxed at around 800 USD, but can stretch to I'd say 1200 if we ABSOLUTELY HAD TO.
Monitoring for one lead singer, one backup is going to be necessary, so I'm thinking maybe two monitors? (small room, by the way, only about 14x18 feet)
Alright, have at it.
Thanks a lot!
