  • The Right Speakers in the Right Space to do the Job Right!

    Posted on May 7, 2012 by Ryan McLeod

    Now that the world has embraced the world of powered speakers, there seems to be a new myth… that “the speaker you have” happens to have is the one that’s “right for the job”… and this is not always the case!
    While It’s true that many speakers are good at many different tasks (such as being a speaker OR a monitor, or can be used on a stand or on the ground) and if you’re playing similar rooms you’ll likely get similar results… you’ll often get thrown a curveball when you step into a new environment, such as what happened with [...]  Read more

  • Powered Speakers – what’s the deal?

    Posted on September 19, 2011 by Ryan McLeod

    As of late, it appears that powered speakers are taking over... and in many ways this is very true and here's why:
    Over the last 10 years or so power amplifiers have become considerably less expensive, primarily because they’re also becoming more efficient, smaller, lighter, faster, and more power for less money.

Now-a-days you can get 2000 watts for under [...]  Read more

  • Yamaha DSR Series Speakers

    Posted on April 21, 2011 by Mark Jossul

    Welcome to The Extreme!!
    Yamaha Pro Audio has introduced its new series of powered speakers, the DSR. They have pushed the output levels to some of the highest available, yet have kept the boxes light weight and compact.

Not only do Yamaha’s powered tops go from at least 55Hz - 20kHz, but when paired with their 18” active sub subwoofer is when the magic really happens. All of the DSR speakers offer 1300w of [...]  Read more

  • The K-Series line-up of Powered Speakers by QSC at Cosmo!

    Posted on April 13, 2010 by Cosmo Music

    These speakers are perfect for most live sound applications without the complicated set-up. Rated at 1000W per speaker from the 8” K-8 right up to the 12” K-12 they deliver power and clarity.
    It seems QSC has thought of nearly everything: RCA inputs, which minimize the need for small mixers when playing music from a laptop, CD player or iPod; Line and Mic-Level inputs for those seeking amplification for speech or vocal performance; Post Gain outputs letting you adjust the whole system’s gain from the first speaker in the chain. And that only begins to describe [...]  Read more
