Suggestions on a decent powered mixer?

[bikerdude2]

Looking for suggestions for a cheap powered mixer for smaller band gigs. Will be used mostly for vocals running two mains for smaller clubs. If I buy a sub, it'll be powered. Whats everyone using?

nobody?

What do you consider cheap? I use one of these and it works great.

If you're looking for something cheaper, but good, look to Peavey.

How is it volume wise? That's the range...Between $500-$800

I used to have a Mackie 808M, it did the the job. In general not a fan of powered mixers. You can't go too far wrong with Peavey or Mackie though.

If you're playing small clubs and you're not trying to blow up skirts with the volume, you should be good. You can push 1/2 power to the mains & 1/2 power to the monitors. If you order from musiciansfriend you have a 60-day return policy they're offering right now.

Why not use powered speakers? I've never used a powered mixer that had nearly enough "ooommpph".

I've got a Mackie 808M and it's a killer little mixer. It's got built in fx and 1200w a side for about $400 used.

Thanks guys. Would rather do powered speakers, powered sub and a board, but right now $$$ doesn't allow it, so figure powered mixer for now as we have mains already and save up for a bigger system

Second the Yamaha 512. 350 used, really loud and really light. Does nice until you go big.....
