lnvrt Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hi guys. Just wondering if it's possible to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. That is, I want to hook my Firehawk through a PA system, but can that also be used to run a microphone through for vocals? I was looking at something like this: http://goo.gl/6uCGHG Basically, my set up would need to sound good in a room with drums, vocals and a bassist. Any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers.

silverhead Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Yes. Connect your Firehawk L and R 1/4" outputs to channels 1 and 2 of the PA. Connect your mic to the channel 3 input (and another mic/device to channel 4 if you wish).If you don't need Firehawk to run stereo you can use just one 1/4" output, meaning you have room for three other mics or mono devices. EDIT: While I technically answered your question, I must agree with the subsequent posts below. This particular PA system will probably leave you disappointed.

mcbeddall Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 If that's a solid state amp I doubt 60 watts will be anywhere near loud enough to compete with a drummer, especially regarding the vocals , but my drummer is a bit of an animal , worth bearing in mind though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't waste your time on that particular setup. Pay a little more and get some quality powered speakers. The Alto TS112a's would be much better and are reasonably priced. You can always add a small mixer if needed. A pair of Altos and a mixer will run you about $400 and you will be set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbeddall Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 There will probably be quite a few stagesource speakers on the used market around may time if you can wait that long , the new firehawk 1500 coming out will see quite a few people switching to that But yeah the alto speakers are very good for the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnvrt Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thanks for your input guys. I think I will go the Altos and mixer route - thanks radatats. I didn't know a new Firehawk was coming out, thanks mcbeddall - because I actually haven't bought mine yet! Will it be worth the wait?
