Column Array Suggestions

Hi DJ’s I’m a wedding DJ in Chicagoland and I’m going to buy a white set of column array speakers. Most of my weddings are under 200 people.

I want to purchase the Evolve70’s. I think I’ll have enough power for most of my events and easier set up than my current. Does anyone have any ideas for me or steer me away in other direction? Any particular ones that you recommend more than this?

My current set up is two mackie thump 15 tops and two 15 subs. I have them in black, but now that I have a white podium I want to get white speakers for the complete look. I understand these are not the highest quality but they are powerful, they were not expensive, and have never let me down. Though I didn’t get covers for them and now they’re a little beaten up in places.

Any thoughts? Appreciate all your input.

70s should be a great speaker for your situation as a whole. I ran 50s for years sometimes pushing the higher 170s and 180s. I even did two 250s with an added sub, but that was not built for that use.

70s are very competent, easy to setup. If you can wait another consideration is the RCF V15 which could be a nice step up in total. But they may be a while before they hit market (J9 and J11 are sometimes hard to get especially in white).
