New custom 'PM' (public music?) rig.

[Sonce]

psin3t, all suggestions here were from good-hearted, knowledgeable persons. Please reconsider...

The first thing to point out is that I am on a tight budget.

First up, the Plan. I wanted an outdoor PA system for the purposes of playing electronic music to small crowds, mainly for private use. As the plan grew, I realised it might be something other people wanted to hire (eventually).

It had to be super-efficient and run from a single 10A 240V (Australian) outlet. This also makes it easier to pwoer in remote locations ('doofs').

Simple math:

Tight budget = Behringer
Super efficient = class D amplifier
Tight budget + Super efficient = Behringer class D amplifier

Outdoor PA system = PA high-frequency drivers (Celestion, B&C, Selenium, PRV...), not hi-fi high-efficiency tweeter (Vifa).
Outdoor PA system + electronic music + hire + Celestion = music all night long
Outdoor PA system + electronic music + hire + Vifa= broken Vifa in 10 seconds

Outdoor and/or hire also means grilles, recessed baffle and other physical considerations
