Hello,
We are going to replace our sound system next year and I need to source out new equipment.
- Amps, console, speakers.
Our current analogue setup is 14 years old: 400 seat house. 48 channel board, 3 speakers over stage, 16 in house, lobby, dressing rooms, greenroom, control booth (all powered by 10 amps- underpowered from the start). Our current console is a 48 channel board. looking to go to 60. We use a live orchestra for musicals, some instruments reinforced for shows, depending. I kept our Clearcoms setup up to date. Different system anyway. We use the audio system fore everyday events, music concerts, and musicals which is where we push it to its limits. Our microphones are the Shure UHR series with country-man. We'll keep those.
I need a starting point for new amps, a console and speakers. Our space is intimate so I want to keep stage and house speakers low profile: 30' vertical dimension or less. I am not privy the new tech., but if memory serves most equipment has moved on to digital.
Any advice on where I should start would be appreciated. I want to purchase equipment that will last 15 to 20 years and require very little servicing.
Thanks for your input.
Chad
