Question:

For a concert ( singers and full band) should i use passive or active monitors for the stage?

i am a mobile dj who is looking to expand his business and equipment by offering small scale stage sound for concerts, fashion shows, etc. each venue of about 1000-2500 people. i already have 4 mackie srm 350 active speakers and was wondering if i should use those as stage monitors, or invest in passive monitors and amplifiers? i have a little money saved up from my mobile dj business so if i have spend more money for a better sound, thats an investment i am willing to take


Answers:

I'm not sure what "active" and "passive" are, but it sounds like you're talking about powered or non-powered. Powered is simple to hook up, because the amp is built-in. There's no need to think about what amp is appropriate for what speaker. However, they're forever married. If something goes wrong with either the amp or the speaker, the whole thing has to go in the shop. If you decide you like the speaker, but not the amp, you can't change one or the other.

Since you're a DJ, you may have situations where you need to shuffle power or speakers to different configurations. For that reason, I'd reccommend having each be their own thing. If one amp on your DJ rig has problems, you can pull an amp from your rental system, if it's not going out that night, etc.
