Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I like it. I wouldn't buy another one.
Contradictory, right? I bought one of these as a quick and simple stage monitor, and it did its job well. Especially for the price. But I wouldn't buy another one, as there are some issues.
As a powered speaker, it has lots of features; XLR in and out(thru), gain knob with 3 band graphic eq, modular cabinet for tilting on its side OR standing (like an EON does), very lightweight.
However, there are some quality issues. And I don't think its manufacturing flaws, either. The metal grill on mine doesn't completely enclose the speaker. In fact, there's enough of a gap to get a finger in there and get really cut up by the grill. I removed it to see if it was warped somehow, but it wasn't. it just seemed to not quite fit.
Also, something in the circuitry is adding a noticeable level of distortion to the sound production at modest -to -low levels. I've hooked it up to many components and mixers, and the static distortion is still there, so it must be something in its electronics. The compression horn also tends to sound a bit 'whistly' in the low-to-medium volume.
However, under a loud load, it performs well in the medium-to-loud. The distortion is less noticeable, the dispersion of the horn is good.
All in all, a very good value, and a good entry-level product. Personally, I've outgrown its qualities, and its lack of build quality.-EDIT-
Since I last wrote this review, the price of this item has gone up significantly to the point where I will say its not a good value anymore. For this price, at least a Behringer or a Harbinger has better fit-and-finish.
