What amplifier is recommended for a FR 8x?
JerryPH pid=67940 dateline=1572425466 said:A Roland FR-8X is not dependent on any specific amp. Rather, the better question is... what are your needs? Are you filling a small basement, a 50,000 person stadium or something somewhere in between?
For my needs, I have 3 setups:
- No external amplification, but if I need a volume boost, use the Audio Boost option.
- If I need to fill a small venue, say 40-50 people, I have a 150 watt Altec Lansing computer speaker setup
- If I need something more, I use a Roland Jazz Chorus 160 amp, this is good for 100-200 people venues
- If I need even more, I use a pair of Bose 802E in a stereo configuration with 500 watt amps. I have filled rooms loud enough to accommodate 500 people easily enough with that setup.
What do you need? Also, do you require a mono or stereo setup?
HERE are discussions on my blog site about my small and medium setups.

I use Yamaha DBR12 speakers and a small a Yamaha mixer. Plenty grunt for halls, marquees etc. One speaker is normally fine for a small venue. The system offers a good compromise on sound quality, weight and price.
Positioning of the speakers is critical in getting a good sound at the venue. Well worth some serious research.

for instance a Hohner Orgaphon
