These are great speakers but are better served as floor monitors or front of house at small venues. For 200-500 people in a church I'd recommend something bigger

They have 10" and 12" woofer speakers available ,for what you are doing I would pick one of those instead.

I have swore of Pyle after I bought this. Not because of customer service but quality. The sound sucked then something was shorting, I opened it up and fixed it but leaning it back broke a part, so the back panel needed to remain open. Then I used it for band practice for a keyboard and I'm pretty sure it overheated. It's dead.

Well this truly is a very important point/question/answer. I live in a town house and I need speakers that wont be heard by neighbors, this is the true audiophile's lifestyle problem. What you have said about the sound being heard more in the listening room than in the entire house would actually be a good marketing argument for Martin Logan to promote this speakers. Ill test this out. Thanks guys.

Well, this is just a USB controller, so I use it with my regular PC speakers for DJing practice at home. It is just a 2.1 speaker system with a pretty boomy subwoofer and it works fine for me. Are you asking for home DJing or for filling up a venue with sound? Can't help you with the latter but for the former, any decent PC speakers with a subwoofer should work.

It puts out an amazing amount of sound. We.re using it in 200 seat church auditorium it fills the space up pretty well. There's a button on the controls that adjusts sound from instruments it works quite well in my opinion.

It has a low end driver and their is no workable treb,midBass setting,it says it has but unless you have video combined I see no way of adjusting it for your low end db setting.I would say "NO" dont waste your money save up a extra $100 and buy a harke or if your on a tight budget a fender 40 or 60 watt bass amp will give you better results,you can mic a small amp for small gigs or basement bands.

I believe you could. You have another input on the amp but I don't know how good quality sound for a keyboard you could get. I think it would be decent but not sure.

I use it to play jazz and it's pretty good for that. I've also plugged a keyboard into it. I normally plug a humbucker guitar into the -15dB input. Throw a decent compressor or a tube preamp in front and it warms it up a bit but keeps a good clean tone. It's nice because I often play both bass and guitar and can get by with just one amp. The really sturdy closed back cabinet means that it's got some authority. I wouldn't use it for rock, though, as the tone wouldn't be good

This speaker are not the best for a large event,they dont have enough power to fill a large room and the sound quality is just not there.ill go with EV speakers or even ALTO or yamaha.

Depends on what you are trying to do. I used mine for a wedding of 150 people and everyone though it was great. I have a friend who uses it as the speaker for his electric bass he plays in a dance band and it works just fine. If you have a 5000 sq. ft. room with 500 people you will need a sub. It may be only 200 watts rms and 1000watts peak, but outdoors cranked up, run by a line in from the headphone jack of a tablet, you can hear it clearly a block away. Use it in your living room and it will cause hearing damage.

Anyone who's heard "great" bass from a speaker of this size hasn't heard many good speakers. I have yet to find a speaker for under $80 that can play "down-under" meaningful bass. Some simulate a "loud" boomy bass-effect in the 100 Hz range, but it's physically impossible for any speaker of this size to play authentic bass frequencies, such as those at 20 Hz.

no, I checked on the peavey site to answer it for you, it is for acoustic, electric, or bass guitar. you would need a keyboard amp. did you want something for guitar and keyboard? you would probably need a bass amp if that's the case, but guitars don't sound that good through them, and they keyboard loses some of the high/treble sound through bass amps, I used one for my guitar and keyboard years ago, both didn't sound that good. depending on what you need it for, you should get 2 smaller amps, this thing is very very loud, I would get the larger amp of the one you use more, keyboard or guitar. if it's for live shows, they can mic the amp anyway, so technically you could have a really small amp, but with a mic and p.a. system or whatever, it would be as loud as all the other instruments

I love this speakers. I have been a fan of these for about 20 years. I think the middle and high range are very good specially considering their price. I think that the set up you are describing will not achieve what I think you are trying to do. If you are thinking of having some kind of background music but not very serious about it perhaps this set up will do the trick. If you are thinking of having people over for a bbq or party I believe your sound will be weak and lacking base. Another issue of concern (depending of your set up) is the distance of your speakers to the source of your music. If the distance is too great, the quality of your sound will suffer. I would recommend using larger speakers. Other wise your sound will just be plain weak and get lost in the open. I would suggest speakers with an 8" woofer or bigger. Hopefully you can set up four of them. Each at a corner pointing down to the space. Hope this helps.

It depends on the gig; I've used it live for small clubs (less than 30 people, smallish room) and it works great. It gets surprisingly loud! For a bigger show you would probably be mic'd anyway, at least in my area so it would be fine for that as well. These days, if you show up with a larger amp you probably won't be able to turn it up enough to work the amp at all and it won't sound good anyway.

I play it through my guitar amp. The chord is damn flimsy so be careful! Sound is good, if you can use a preamp or sound processor with reverb it helps a ton. A direct box should work just fine. It's way easier and sounds better than micing it IMHO. If you push the levels of your PA system you may run into feedback issues. Run a dress rehearsal and find the best spots on stage that don't feedback. Again that chord is very flimsy, one trip and it's game over. Have a backup plan like a microphone just in case.

I think the speaker was create to play in small enclosure area and sofar it is working for me. It base add a great sound and clarity when playing. In terms of volume it delivery the necessary to play in small areas.

I don't know how much bass you want or expect from a speaker of this size?The Henson speaker does give a full, rich and balanced sound for it's size, make sure you adjust your volumebefore you turn it on - It can get very loud!If you want more bass put it the corner or cabinet of your room - experiment.If not using Bluetooth the supplied audio cable will hook up to anything.That's it

This is a really great guitar amp but I think you might want to search around for a better choice for a keyboard. Here is some specs. though on the Peavey. As far a a guitar amp I couldn't be happier. http://www.peavey.com/products/index.cfm/item/1192/118346/Vypyr%26reg%3B%26nbsp%3BVIP%26nbsp%3B2
