What do you like? what have you done? what would you like todo?

 

I have been mad about pro audio gear  since I was old enough to lift a pair of speakers.  I started out making all my own gear (amps speakers, mixers, what ever I needed) I was poor.

 

I now do voluntary installs for churches and charities as they typically don't have the cash to get professionals in. It means I am constantly trying squeeze every last drop of performance out of cheap entry level equipment, A challenge that I secretly love.

 

My favourite amps are QSC and Behringer

I don't have favourite speakers but were quite impressed with some warfdale 12" units I installed once.  And of course my white 12" party speakers.

 

favorite mics are the audio technica fixed goose neck and the trusty old sm58.

 

The best mixer I have ever used was a 20 year old soundcraft desk, very basic 32 channels and just clean, very clean sound.

 

 

looking forward to hearing from others.

SM58 - the cure to pretty much any problem except for choirs.

Favourite speaker? Depends what for. QSC KW122's you can't really beat for versatility. 3 channel onboard mixer and plenty of power to support it + active cooling.

Class D amps - while the weight is a benefit, I still prefer the old Crown MacroTech's.

I've seen choirs done with large diapham studio condensors. Not an intuitive solution but the result was good.

Better than nothing I guess.
