Speaker ohms and PA
Hey guys!! I am about to possibly buy a PA (as some of you all ready know) this will be my first one, and I was wondering about amp loads (ohms). Is there anything like a basic "ohm formula"? For example, if I had 4 8 ohm floor monitors, is there anyway or any formula that I could use to determine the over all amp load if these were daisy-chained together? I REALLY, REALLY appreciate any input on this. That's my main question, but I have another one. Ok, our first plan was to buy a Mackie 808S Powered Mixer. The only thing about this, it would be kind of hard on the sound man because it just has "knobs" and it (the eq, level, etc) is set up vertically (plus, I like playing with sliders more than knobs
). Or, from the sound man's and overall view, would it be better for us to get the mixer and a power amp seperately, such as a Behringer 2004 (for live use only
) and a Carvin poweramp, probably 1500 watts. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really appreciate all replies and I thank all in advance.
