......... having just bought a V-Console and have now spent even more time on my existing registrations.
However, what I'm thinking of is next year buying decent speakers to stop me constantly fiddling with the equaliser settings, I would like an overall warmer sound!
Hey Pam,
V-Console undoubtedly is a great addition to T5, loads of flexibility.....although it's a bit pricey, I'm sure it's worth the investment.
As for speakers, I would happily recommend Yamaha's DBR series as well. They are on the budget side, and offer plenty of bang-for-your-buck. The price difference from the more expensive DXR and DSR series comes mainly from the choice of materials for the box itself, they share more or less same drivers and internals, plus some more bells and whistles.
I have bought x2 DBR10 this summer and paired them to a sub, and I cannot tell you how happy I am. I use only the tops in small venues for small pubs and bars for up to 100 people, and take the sub for larger venues only. They provide more than reasonable low end for their size if you use the D-contour bass boost setting on the back panel, you can push them very loud before they start to clip (129db). They have very transparent sound and are very pleasant to the ears at all levels.
If you like to have more low end without sub, definitely consider getting DBR 12 or 15, depending on your budget, but you won't be disappointed with either of them, believe me.
Cheers
