Here's what I'm proposing for a PA system to be used outside (actually inside a big tent) at my local country club for small live gigs and for canned music and announcements during dinner service and weddings. I already own most of the components on hand, and the budget is extremely limited. They system will not be exposed to weather, but will be used outdoors in the tent and later on a covered deck that's open on three sides. I want the club to be able to offer its use as "house PA" for small live bands, which vary from solo singer with an acoustic guitar or four or five piece country bands. Now they bands bring small portable PA speakers.
I need supertweeters and a small amp (or two if I want to go active on the supertweeters) to complete the system.
The system would consist of:
Speakers:
JBL 4648 (2 x 2226h) 100dB, 35 to 800Hz
Emilar EA175 1" compression driver+ Emilar EH800A 800Hz "Bowtie" Horn, 800-8,000 Hz
Some sort of very cost effective supertweeters for 8K and up (piezio's?)
Amps: BGW 620B for the JBL's
Something cheap/low power and rack mountable for the horns/super tweeters
Crossover: Gemini 1000x (3 way, 12 dB/8ve)
EQ:Behringer Feedback Destroyer
Board/Mic Preamp: (for canned music/announcements only bands bring their own board, cables mics etc) Behringer Xennyx 502
Notes: The 4648/Emilar/BGW/Gemini combo sounds awesome with a pair of JBL 2405's on top in my basement, but there's no budget for those tweeters for the PA.
