PA System for Dance Studio - help

[riverpinn]

OK. My friend is opening a new dance studio. Large hall but low ceiling. I would like to put four speakers mounted on the beams across the ceiling driven by two amps. My budget for the speakers, amps, cables and a small mixer to take CD, MP3, etc, is about £1200. There are several products in DV247 land that look like they would fit the bill but I would love to hear some suggestions. By the way, this is not a ballet school. Modern tap and jazz - some of the music we use is just plain loud! So any suggestions would be realy great.

Samson SX1200 POWER AMPLIFIER at DV247.COM - amplifier
Tapco J800 JUICE SERIES POWER AMPLIFIER at DV247.COM - pa speakers
Tapco MIX 100 Ultra-Compact Mixer at DV247.COM - mixer

A little inexpensive, but this lot will supply good sound quality and volume.
Of course there's cables on top, but they won't set you back that much.

Hey Mark
Thanks for responding to Tim's thread..
Could I request you pop some initial suggestions down on a post please (for other members) to get a basic idea of what type of solutions you feel may be initially viable in this instance?
Many thanks

Hi Tim

This is my suggestion although may take you over budget slightly it would sound good.

These units are ideal as they are a sweet sounding popular installation type device with good power handling and crisp top end but most importantly the have the appropriate brackets available.

Proel - Technology as Art £229 inc vat


Appropriate brackets

Proel - Technology as Art £29.99 inc vat


Amplifier: The popular EP1500 which can have input soft clip compressor enabled to help protect your speakers.

Behringer EP1500 EUROPOWER EP1500 POWER AMPLIFIER at DV247.COM

The mixer I suggest would be the Behringer 1204.

Hope this helps.
