Yea, I did look over at the Podiums again and I think a pair of them might be the best choice. I thing the Podiums are really good for the money, Had a pair for awhile and then sold them when I moved. Best used with an outboard mixer though.
I'm not looking ofr a "system" to take on a gig but I like the CM30 because if I hook up with a singer or sax player I can mix the mics with it, use it as a monitor, and send the signal to my JBL Eon's.
