In the late seventies, I started my production company and over the years graduated to many different sound equipment configurations (link below).
The Realistic PA-95 Public Address/Sound Reinforcement System was the first one I used with a Peavey XR 800 mixing board (link below). The PA-95 did what I needed for that point in my career. It was the one I was using when I met John Handy; more on that in a later blog.
The PA-95 retailed for around a hundred dollars and I had four of them that I used; sometimes only as a pair, at others all four. They were amazingly efficient and really blasted out when it was needed. There are simiar systems still on the market; Check the Guitar Center (link below).
