re: #236 Belafon

My son and his friends (14 to 15 years old) are forming a band. They have a midi with a computer for a keyboard, a bass, an electric, a sax, and a drummer. They want a couple of mics, and I would like whatever setup to be relatively inexpensive.

Well if they want to do gigs, they would probably need to put together a small PA system. Mixer, amp, speakers etc.

You could get a relatively inexpensive starter kit that comes with a powered mixer a couple speakers and mics for a few hundred bucks with the knowledge that if the band thing sticks they will want to replace every component in pretty short order.

When I did small PA setups, we did a Mackie mixer, Shure mics, JBL Pro speakers, and a Carver amp. That would probably set you back a lot more than you want.

Your best bet may be to search for an all in one PA kit on Amazon with the knowledge they will outgrow it fast if they are really serious about the band thing.
