Hi Angelo. Yep, most of the time I don't use an external mixer. I plug my mic (EV757) directly into the 2000 and just plug the SXa100's into the kb's 1/4" outputs and control the overall volume & mixer balances right from the kb. Sounds GREAT! I put the speakers on 'Ultimate Support' aluminum (black) tripod stands. For smaller venues I can usually get away with just one speaker. I take 2 speakers for the medium-larger wedding/corporate party gigs where wider coverage and/or stereo is required. Angelo, please let us know which PA you actually end up getting and how it works out for ya. - Scott
