I second the Fender Passport idea. You'll be the hero at coming in way under
the two grand budget.

Disclaimer: I am not a pro.
I expect many will disagree, but as a high school AV clerk, I would
recommend the top-line Fender Passport for these reasons:
It is very portable. (Keep an eye on it!)
It will have proprietary wireless options.
It is easier for first-time users to operate. Even teachers can run
it!
It would be easy to resell if necessary.
You may need a small mixer to use as a submixer to get you requested
number of inputs.

Howdy all.
I have an opportunity to make suggestions for a pa system to be purchased
by a local school system.
Needs are as follows:
Users.
Will range from knowledgable about pa basics to pa/audio first time
users.
Expectations.
Basic vocal reinforcement to cd/dvd/ quality(2 ch.) and sound for laptop
multimedia presentations.
Should be able to provide enough vocal output for 350-500 people inside
an
auditorium.
Very Reliable. Reasonbly portable - will not be a permanent installation
or road gear but will need to be moved to lockable room when not in use.
Ability to handle minimum of 4 microphones and 2 line inputs.
Equipment
Mics / System - 35% of budget up to $700
1 - Wireless Handheld/Gooseneck stand attached to podium
1 - Wireless Clip on/ Tie tac
quality / freedom from hum, noise, outside inteference etc.
I am familiar with the inexpensive AT set from radioshack and a decent
set
of ? @ $225/ea
in my church's pa
Mixer 15% up to $300
8 to 12 channels low, mid, high eq/channel
proven design / known reliability / good warranty
Familiar with Mackie 1202 and 1604 Peavey 90's xr series
Amplifier - 20% up to $400
2 channel
proven design / known reliability / good warranty
Familiar with Soundcraftsmen, QSC, mid/late 90's Peavey mixer/amp combo
units
Speakers - 25% of budget up to $500/ pair
2 15" Cabs if in budget 12" if not
Have heard 12-15" JBL's, Peavey, Community, RadioShack
Cables to hook it all up - 5% @ 100.00
These will likely be purchased locally but that's not a certainty. If
there are great savings to be found net shopping I'd like to know about
recommended sellers.
I am not averse to modular systems and powered speakers but I don't have
much hands on with them.
I kind of like the idea of being able to replace or find a spare for one
peice if necessary but convienience / portability are a little more
important here.
Basically I want to know what pieces by which makers just flat out work
and sound decent while doing it. If the budget could shrink or needs to
be
reapportioned let me know.
Any help appreciated
If this post would do better in another group please suggest which one.
