Gear Up Your Garage

Outfit a practice space of any size.

Don't let a small room hold you back from creating a fully set-up practice space. From mixers to microphones, this guide has the tools you need to streamline your setup and build a compact PA that can tap into the true potential of any sized room, without sacrificing your tone.
Powered Speakers
Using PA speakers during a practice session gives you a better understanding of how your band will sound when you play live. Detailed enough for low volumes, but powerful enough for your next gig, active speakers like these have power amps built right into them. And since active, powered loudspeakers eliminate the need for bulky outboard power amps and the additional cables that come with them, they're a perfect fit for your small practice space.

Mixers with Effects
Finding the right levels for everyone during a practice session is crucial for perfecting your sound. By running your band through a mixer, you can establish a balance that works best for everyone, and assure that no one instrument overpowers the others. All of these mixers have built-in effects, so you can enhance vocals or instruments with reverb, delay, chorus, etc. without adding pedals and outboard gear. Some small mixers even have a USB output -- handy for recording a mix straight to your laptop.

Direct Input Boxes
Swap your amp for a direct box and avoid the bouncing wall of sound that happens when you crank an amp up in a small room. With your guitar, bass, or keyboard connected to the PA via one of these D.I. boxes, you can skip the hassle of getting your amp stack in the back of your car or on the bus every week. Direct boxes are small enough to fit inside your backpack, but a must-have tool for reinforcing your sound whether you're rehearsing or playing a show.

Mobile Recorders
Whether you're noodling at home or jamming at the practice space, keep track of every experiment with one of these extremely portable mobile recorders. No setup would be complete without a way to share new progressions, review the music you've just written, and even lay down quick demos. Each of these recorders has a line input so you can capture a feed directly from the mixer. The Zoom H5 even lets you record with both XLR inputs at the bottom of the device plus the built-in stereo microphones at the same time.
