looking to buy a PA speaker for Karaoke. How well do you think this speaker compares to PYLE-PRO PPHP1237UB 12-Inch 900 Watt or BEHRINGER EUROLIVE?

Well, it's about 850 watts underpowered. I use it for calling trivia and I average 50-60 people per game. It's well-suited for that although on extra busy nights I am pushing it a bit. As it happens, I also own some Behringer powered speakers and for the money they cannot be beat. MUCH better suited to your application.The PYLE stuff is better than nothing, but the sound matches the quality, which ain't much.

this speaker is good for coffee houses and small areas , no fx so I would not use it for karaoke

I have not tried the other units you listed but I have used this one and it was very good! I used it in a living room though and did not have to turn up the volume very high. The sound quality and construction is top notch though, better than what I have seen with Pyle products. This does not come close to a 900 watt system, but I would venture a guess that the Pyle 900 watt unit you are looking at is not really 900 watts. I have seen a lot of false advertising on these things as no one tries to prove them wrong. If you are looking to use this outdoors, I would suggest getting two of them as they easily hook up tandem.

Both these PA's are going to sound better than the Powerwerks. I use the Powerwerks in my bonus room for practicing and for jamming with the guys. Mostly run my vocal thru a Yamaha mixer and into two of these Powerwerk speaker. I don't think I would use them for a gig unless it was a living room gig. I would have to add a sub for some bottom before I do that. The more watts the better it's going to sound plus give you volume.

Justin -Nice, very powerful speakers to began with (700 Watts). For PA, something like an XR 8300 wound be a good choice (2 x 300 Watts).That would give you 300W to the mains and 300W to the monitors.If you want to elaborate, please give me a call.Thanks,Hugh800-806-7774318-614-0422 Cell

No. This is just a passive speaker. Behringer makes a portable amplified 150 watt PA speaker called Eurolive B207MP3.

You could get by with a cheaper model. If it was me I'd buy the Behringer MDX 4600. That one is a 4 channel that is good if you run subs independent of your mains. My gate is built into my Behringer x32 pa. But as I understand out board gates they run from your pa main out into the gate and from the gate to your speakers. That allows the gate to clamp down on any noise prior to hitting your speakers.There are a tone of videos I'd bet on YouTube that can teach you how to set up the gate to work the way you need it to based on what music you are playing.

I have used both types of mics on mine with no problem. Love my Pyle pro set up!

The tuner and pre-amp are excellent. Oddly enough, floor standing speakers are generally more efficient than bookshelf sized speakers, so depending on your definition of "reasonable levels", I'd say this is probably a good choice, but they do make a 3490 with half again as much power. I have one of each and recommend them both highly.

Your Pyle-pro PPHP1599AI is a powered speaker while the other is not. To my understanding, you will need a amp output source to power the padh1589. Unfortunately, the PPHP1599AI will power inputs but not outputs. You may have to contact PYLE for a better response. I hope this helps.....

The alpine 12 is alright. It's a great speaker but it's rms handling isn't very high. I bought two of these. Dual 4 ohm . They hit hard but not hard enough. Remember, you get what you pay for. I have one orion hcca 12 that blows both of these out.

You can but I wouldn't suggest it. It's got a ridiculous amount of feedback and will blow out. Spend a bit more and get a behringer pa speaker

In the past 8-9 years, I have only used a Behringer for my sound board. It puts out plenty of power, and I use only Bose speakers for the very best sound. I would recommend this without hesitation..

After a Google search on your GoldenEAR speakers, very nice by the way, the A500 can drive them easily. Your AVR has "Pre-Out" connections, so you can tell us which sound better- the internal or the Behringer external amp. If heat is a problem(in a closed cabinet), than the A500 with it's massive heat sinks and efficient Torrid would be worry free(provided there's space).

the Pyle is adequate, if you were playing for example outdoor venues. Yes, I would cough up the extra for the Behringer for a quality church performance.

was wandering the same thing but i did some research and its a active speaker with 625RMS/900WATT Max...Im 80% sure that this information is true but will keep looking cuz i was looking to get one too....also if you wanted to know the SPL output is 132 DB

You should probably look at the Electro-Voice KLZ-12 powered speaker ($399) and a 6 channel mixer with effects for what you want to do. You will have enough power and versatility to cover most gigs with just one of the ZLX-12s. Figure 10 watts per person and with this set up you are at 100 people. Plus you are at about the same cost.

Yes I have the prime 1200 and have two p3d2s. It sounds amazing. Even when I had the one p3 it sounded great. But wiring options for the dual 2 ohm voice coil will only let you get 400 watts or 1200 which would be way too much. I'd get the d4 so you can wire to 2 ohms and get 800 watts.

It would depend on the size of the room and the quality of the Karaoke input signal; This speaker says it is rated at 300 Watts RMS but it just doesn't sound as loud as other active speakers with that RMS wattage. For a small room @ 3/4 max volume, it should be just fine.

I bought the seismic speakers, Seismic Audio - Pair of 15" PA DJ Speakers 700 Watts PRO Audio - Mains, Monitors, Bands, Karaoke, Churches, Weddings and I also bought a powered mixer since the speakers are not powered, I hope this helps.
