MA120 MKII : Heavy stuff

8 years ago

So I just got these puppies for the band and have been testing them as much as I can.

They're crazy solidly built, and as such are also incredibly heavy (which is kind of a plus ?) and feel good to handle.

The mic input is a nice plus and so is the speakon bridge out, although I haven't bought the extra cabs yet, the knobs feel mostly nice (the volume pots are stepped !!!) and it's all in all pretty sturdy.

Sound wise these are kind of what I expected, they're 130 bucks. For floor monitors they're good enough, even though the volume is lacking just a touch of headroom. But I would not use these as main PA speakers. They're lacking both low low-end and High High-end and the mids are a bit muddy and unclear, works great for drums and guitars and all, but that's about it.

So all in all, as a first pair of monitors for a non-touring and slightly gigging band the MA120s are a great buy.
