I am Planning to buy EV ZLX G2 15P FOR AT HOME . My purchase is Karoake Singing and Listening music. I don’t want to Compromise the quality and technology so I choose EV 15 inch Model.
Currently I am using JBL PARTY BOX 710 For Karaoke Singing and listening music.
Am I right??? Please Advise
From- INDIA
Can I set the powered speakers to 0db and use my master fader for the overall volume so I don’t have to go to the back of said speakers when performing to increase the out front volume.
Thanks very much
Hi Kyle, I have a simple set of PA Speakers System. I’m praying for another unit and to combine them together. Any recommendations?
This was amazing. Thanks for the practical tips on getting a good sound level, especially on how to avoid those early mistakes.
