Thre can be several reasons why your vocals are being "smothered by the rest of the band". This needs to be addressed FIRST! Typically, the culprit is a too-loud electric guitar (careful there, I play one myself!). Or a bashing drummer, an over-zealous keyboardist. All can be guilty.Please elaborate:
What type of music are you performing?
What stage gear is/are the offending musicians using?
How many singers do you have onstage?
What is your budget-and what part of the world are you in?
(This is important because certain brands of gear are not available in certain parts of the world. And even then, the prices for gear vary wildly).
Give us some more information, we might be able to assist you.
In the meantime, some things to consider:
You HAVE to get a "handle" on your stage volume of ALL the performers involved.
The last place to "get cheap" is the loudspeaker system. Next to that, the microphones. Both are more critical in efficiently turning your sound into electrical energy and vice-versa. A good, efficient loudspeaker will out-perform a bad one with twice the watts, if carefully chosen.
