Looking for a good powered wedge for vocal monitoring.

This would just be for rehearsing...sometimes with a 15-watt combo and sometimes with a 150-watt full stack do it'll have to have some power. I just want to keep it simple so a powered wedge should do it. I'm flexible price wise.

Second the QSC K series. if space is an issue, the K 10 will also be more than adequate as a killer vocal monitor

Depends what your budget is. I'm using either k10's or k12's and it's hard to go wrong with either.

Another QSC thumbs up from me. The K series are very nice powered monitors. They sound good and can take a beating.

I would look at the JBL PRX612m. Cheaper,lighter, and made of wood compared to the QSCK12.

Really good stuff. DAS hasn't had anything this inexpensive before. $699 web price.
Dedicated wedge.

RCF ART 310A
Small. Sounds great. Less expensive than K10.
Doesn't have as many bells and whistles but is a great monitor.

I'll second the RCF box as well. Great stuff. Not the big name QSC, or JBL have going for them but great pro products.

I am using DXR12's as main speakers, but they work great as floor monitors as well. The processing called "D-CONTOUR" has monitor mode and it works surprisingly great. You can use it as a monitor without any EQ. I listened to almost all the powered cabs available at a local GC store (DXR12, K12, ELX112P, PRX612M and EON515XT), and DXR sounded the best. My friend also uses DXR10 as a vocal monitor and she loves it

I've used the Yamaha DXR10 as a vocal monitor and agree with Nick R. The DXR series is great, and the contour function makes them so instantly versatile.

EV ELX112P....can be had for under $500 NEW and sound as good or better than most that are close to double the price.

Enclosure is wood and requires careful handling during transport though
