Depends on the size of the venue and the SPL required. Same as any PA

for music, though. That's about the only real saving.

Well, you know what I mean (sounds like fun)
Not a bunch of audiophiles listening for a dip in spectral response

You make it all sound so easy. However, most on here would probably like
to provide something that works reasonably well - if their 'name' is on
it. And just plonking in any old music centre obtained from the tip *will*
be a recipe for disaster.

Broadcast speech is always treated to reduce the dynamic range. A mic
straight into an amp not. So you either need to treat that mic output or
provide a system with sufficient dynamic range. Otherwise it will sound
awful.

Try finding a mobile disco that uses compression.
