Need an active monitor/speaker, 3 gigs this weekend and no venue suppled any.
I need to amplify a Roland SPD Kick pad and vocals. I have a HX Stomp XL on my board as well so would handy if it was good with modelling as well for backup (I use my Tweed Deluxe for guitar usually).
Smallet/lighter is preference. I don’t want a wedge monitor, I’d rather have a versatile speaker than can be mounted as a wedge or vertically. Mat use as main speaker for small gigs if needed.
Looking at:-
Behringer B112D - cheap and powerful. 12” might be a bit big, I already use quite a bit of floor space. But do they sound pretty good?
Also a bit more old school without DSP control.
QSC CP8 - looks dinky and light, but would it struggle with a sampled kick?
Yamaha DBR10 - reasonably priced, worth the extra £100 over the Behringer? Reviews are mixed, although that’s mainly in respect to the DXR
DXR10MKii - out of budget but would it be significantly better than the others?
Other options?
One thing I need is 2 inputs minimum so I don’t need to bring a mixer.
