Opinion on PA please

Hi All I am in the market for a PA system and have my eye on the Yamaha EMX-312SC Powered Mixer to go with two Yamaha C112 V 12" Speakers. This would gobble...

Opinion on PA please

sharonzaz

gonna rain on your parade a little so sorry in advance:

Powerworks is not HK, only licence to look and kind of work like HK.
despite the fact that it is not a bad PA, you will not get any near
the performance of the HK system it is copying.
ive had 2 of those lucas 1000 HK's and have a friend with the powerworks.

for way less than what youve spent on the PA you could have gotten
2 wharfdale titans 8" and the titan 12" sub which is a breeze to carry.
and those will also resale way easier as second hand, they
are stupidly popular, ive got 6 titan tops and always looking to buy
more at a good price.

the mixer is great, no doubt, but you could have saved there too if you wanted.

for the record, i love yamaha gear and own some
but will never ever buy one of their PA speakers.

nontheless, congrats and i hope you enjoy your new toys.

No problems about raining on my parade - I've got an umbrella ?

Good to know that Wharfdale's have given someone a positive experience - not many have given them a thumbs up.
I steered clear when making my purchase decision but will keep this in mind next time round.

You're being a spoiler by saying I could have saved on the mixer but not saying how? >☹

Nothing wrong with the Allen & Heath....its a keeper.....

Main reason I got A&H is that it doubles up as an audio interface as well - so, two for the price of one and a half??

So between a JBL Eon 300 for a R1000 more than a Yamaha stagepass 300?

Which model? 300 is a series. IMO, the JBL has the edge, quality and power-wise. Crown amps, JBL drivers. But bigger (15") and you'll still need a mixer.

The Stagepas is more comparable to the JBL 210P - a complete small PA, mixer and powered speakers.

Nitebob

EON 210P = R10999 Stagepass R9830...?

I'd try A/B them (I've only used the Yammy before), but my leanings are is still to the JBL, who I prefer as a brand anyway. Crown amps, 10" speakers (v. the Stagepas' 8"), 3KG lighter (15 v. 18 kgs), thanks to the neodymium speakers. Better looking too.

A telling point is the JBLs are more than double the volume of the Yamaha: 124 v. 112 dB SPL - a 12 db SPL difference.

Nitebob

All the points you mentioned are valid. Im also leaning towards the JBL. Thx for the advice Alan.

Possibly. I was just responding to Nitebob's post, but there was talk about EONs n Yammies elsewhere recently too and in my head it continued on from that. No harm - I got to have a good look at the EON specs (which look damn good).
