Sound System #1

The Electro-Voice ZLX-12P is a powered speaker, meaning the amplifier is built in. One ZLX-12P is enough for a small indoor or outdoor gathering, a ceremony, or background music; a pair will cover a party or presentation for a crowd of around 100. It's the lighter, tighter 12" sibling of our EV ZLX-15P workhorse, offering clean, punchy sound that's easy to place anywhere.

The Mackie 402VLZ4 is a compact 4-channel mixer - the small control box that lets you run more than one source into your speaker at once. A powered speaker only has a couple of inputs, so when you want a microphone and music from a laptop playing together, the mixer is what blends them into a single clean signal and lets you set the volume of each independently. This one gives you two microphone inputs plus a stereo music input - exactly right for a ceremony, a toast over background music, or a simple speech setup. It's rugged, simple to operate, and made by the brand known for bulletproof mixers. With only two mic channels it's built for small setups, though - if you'll have several mics going at once, step up to the 8-channel 802VLZ4.

A short, sturdy patch cable that bridges a 1/4" output to an XLR input.

The go-to cable for feeding a phone or laptop into a mixer's left and right inputs.

The Shure QLXD Wireless Handheld is a professional digital wireless microphone - the clear, dropout-free mic the pros trust for the big moments. Wireless means there's no cable from the mic to your speaker: the mic transmits to a small receiver that plugs into your mixer or powered speaker, so a maid of honor can walk the room during her toast and an officiant isn't tethered to a stand. The digital part is what sets QLXD apart from cheaper wireless - the signal stays locked and crystal-clear instead of crackling or cutting out at the worst moment, which is exactly why it's trusted for vows and speeches where you only get one take. Its professional dynamic capsule keeps voices warm and natural, and it arrives with fresh batteries, a clip, and a case. One handheld covers a ceremony or a round of toasts beautifully; it needs a speaker or PA to be heard, so pair it with any of our systems.
