I've been assigned the task of setting up a tiny audio system in a room of our church for playing music for games (think musical chairs) and 1 wired microphone.
We already have the speakers and microphone, and I've picked out a small mixer.
It doesn't need good audio quality, it just needs to make sound. At the same time, I don't want the speakers to have an awful buzz or hiss from an unbalanced input or super cheap amp.
The 2 (crappy, Harbinger M60) speakers are 50W each. I can't find much of anything anywhere near this wattage with balanced inputs.
Anyone have any suggestions? Ditch the current speakers and get powered ones? Ideally we'd keep the budget under $250-$300ish for the mixer ($150) and amplifier together. I've decided on the Yamaha MG10 mixer because it's one of the smallest mixers with a built in compressor, plus it's decent enough to reuse in other places.
