MA120 MKII : Decent for vocals and keyboard

This item was bought to be used by university live music society for live jam sessions and band practices. It has mainly been used for keyboard and vocals.

Firstly, the build quality is great. It has been used regularly for over a year now with no issues. Overall it feels very solid and I like how the metal grille on the front of the monitor protects the speaker.

The monitor is also relatively easy to carry. It is not too heavy and can easily be carried on its side. I found this to be an advantage over the 150watt model which was too heavy to easily.

The monitor sounds good. It's not amazing but it will get the job done. Works well with keyboards and vocals. The only issue I would point out is that sometimes it was hard to hear over the rest of the band. However, this was usually fixed by altering the eq of the monitor so it would cut through the mix better.

Overall I am happy with the monitor. It's ideal for band practices. However, I do not think that it would be appropriate for gigs as it is too quiet for gigging volume. If you want a monitor for gigging I would recommend the 150watt model of this monitor.
