This line of PA speakers offers the potential to rock down the house for bargain prices. We&#8217;re particularly fond of their 8-inch, 8-Ohm option which delivers a whopping 300 watts of power. And not only are these speakers powerful, but they&#8217;re surprisingly crisp and clear, too. Even the little 8-inch option delivers deep bass tones and sharp mids and treble tones thanks to its high dynamic range. For example, the 8-inch speaker is combined with two 3-inch bullet tweeters, effectively achieving a frequency response range of 55Hz to 20kHz.

Better yet, the innovative design features a slew of convenient features, including Bluetooth connectivity, a USB-charging port, a 1\/8-inch auxiliary input, and plenty more.

Their Passport line of amps delivers powerful, clear, distortion-free audio, even when cranked up to the 600-watt maximum. Better yet, the Venue S2 comes with a 10-channel mixer that takes some of the stress out of your soundcheck. An absolute must-have for performers, this bundle comes complete with stands, a microphone, and even a 1\/4-inch instrument cable. The best part of all? The ingenious design of the mixer and speaker cabinets allows you to lock everything into one easy-to-transport unit, complete with a handle on top.

Their differences lie in their intended uses. Amplifiers are often designed for use with a specific instrument, such as a guitar or bass guitar, while PA speakers are for more general use.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, PA speakers have a wider frequency response range. This means that they will transmit bass, mids, and treble tones with equal clarity. Amplifiers, on the other hand, have a narrower frequency response range to match that of their intended instrument. With an amplifier, you get greater clarity and EQ control over that specific range of frequencies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does wattage relate to volume?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wattage is a measure of energy output. When it comes to speakers, the more energy put through the system, the greater the volume. Of course, other factors affect the volume, but you can safely assume that a 1,000-watt PA speaker is louder than a 50-watt PA speaker.<\/p>\n<p>All that being said, the relationship between power and volume isn&#8217;t linear, so doubling the wattage will not double the volume. In fact, the difference in volume between a 50-watt PA speaker and a 100-watt PA speaker is pretty hard to tell. All we know for certain is that loud is loud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rockville RSG8 8&#8243; 300W 2-Way PA Speaker Buy the ticket to Rockville, take the ride.
