Small Amplifier

[alunmjones]

I'm looking to get but cant find a small amplifier.

 

it needs to have a xlr in with two speakon out with volume control.

 

i have found CANFORD-COMPACT-POWER-AMPLIFIER but it only has one speakon out.

 

this is to take audio from a pc and pass it in two the hall speakers we have. it will be on all the time and swapped out with a bigger system if we have shows on.

 

this will replace the broken connection to the school tannoy system that is there now.

 

any advice/help appriciated

 

thank you

What about an amp Plus small mixer with XLR sockets?

[Oaktech]

I don't think such a thing exists - everything small has binding post outputs.

 

If it was up to me, I would have the speaker terminate on a speakon plate on the wall, and then have speakon to bare ends fly leads for use with something like this: Clever Little Box: Audio Visual Technology

 

Then, if you need a real PA, you just plug a set of speakon - speakon leads into the wall instead.

 

Le Edit: How does the stereo of a Laptop get into an XLR? XLR's are mono, and unless someone was very clever and put a pair of resistors into the XLR to perform a mono sum you're joining l&r+ together and audio driver chips don't like that much.

What are the specifications of the speakers that it will be powering, this will dictate what amplifier you will need.

that would be ok, im looking for a set it and leave it solution, the less sliders and buttons the better really

[alunmjones]

im not sure about the speakers as they are fixed to the ceiling, just looking for a cheaper solution than the £700 ive been quoted to fix the tannoy connection.

Something like http://www.amazon.co.uk/Behringer-PMP2000-Europower-Channel-Powered/dp/B00117TFL6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1429537786&sr=1-1

 

We have one for a hall amp, perfectly decent for the money. Lots of sliders, but just lock it away in a cabinet.

^^ we have something incredibly similar to this. I've had to sticker it up to the max to avoid confusion. Don't get too many issues though.

I get what you mean now. Would somethink like a speakon to XLR cable do?

All those buttons and dials are making me drool!

That's pretty much what we have in one of our halls, works really well, only one knob needed - Main Level, even our staff can handle that (well, with a big poster showing it).
