As an owner of a small Performer's Cafe in NJ. after hearing the Bose PAS system, I was so impressed that I just had to purchase and install the Bose PAS as the only PA system to be used as the only PA to be used in the cafe. The unique aspect to the cafe is, that as a performer for 40+ years, having worked in literally hundreds of nightclubs throughout the country (most of us have had to put up with a single electric outlet always the one attached to the refrigerator) and in most cases only a single lamp over our heads, I have been able to equip the cafe with permanent house equipment which includes Bass, Guitar and Keyboard amps, PA system and Mics a variety of instruments including guitars, keyboards and a decent drum set as well as a variety of effects boxes, recording, DJ as Karaoke equipment. The idea is that musicians as well a stand-up comedians, poetry and stage play performers can feel comfortable working in a room that has built by a musician for musicians.
Now on to the reason for this post. Ok the good news is that I don't have to set up and break down every night, as mentioned above the equipment is permanently installed. I have all of my keyboards and guitars going through either 2 or three separate amps and only vocals are going through the Bose PAS. Now that's almost true....any single guitar player has his/her mic acoustic or direct connect acoustic/electric guitar going through the Bose PAS. When there is a group and just had an eight piece New Orleans 8 piece play at the cafe.
The room seats 50 and can comfortablly handle approximate 15 more standing. Every group that has played in the room from Acoustic folk/easy listening to Django Reinhardt, to Jazz to Dixeland to Southern Rock has come back (with only their instruments) and each has commented as to how good the sound and monitoring is.
If you are interested in seeing the room, check out our webcam, our website and/or our cafe.
