Whoever the person was that said you had to be on a world tour with a band, or a dj, to buy professional audio equipment? The answer is easy - you don't have to be a professional, but you do need to be ready to spend a few extra greenbacks.Thre are many different types of equipment that you may or may not need.
As far as speakers are concerned, this particular choice is one of the more important ones. As this is how everyone is going to hear you. There are many to choose from, I like to check out online reviews for the type of music Ill be pumping through the speakers along with the speaker names and read reviews. A pretty simple task. I would also recommend that you buy pieces at a time, within the same brand. Add to the system as you see fit, as you may buy more than you need. I've seen that happen many times as well. A good way to determine that is to figure out what size venues/structures you'll be playing in and ask a sound technician.
Power amps will power the speakers you choose and their our purpose is crucial, as amps can be expensive. That being said, again determine the size of the venues to get the most bang for your buck.
The last thing you'll need is a good mixer and accessories. The mixer board will be your "hub" of inputs from the rest of your band members or instruments, which leads me to the last items. The instruments and accessories. Again do a lot of reviewing online, read customer testimonials and establish a budget. You'll have a grin on your face in no time.
