MA120 MKII : A modern day bargain!

11 years ago

I've ended up owning three of these monitors over the years and I've advised countless other friends in bands to purchase this model as there is nothing else on the market that comes close to this model.

The build quality is fantastic and they have a reassuring 'heft' to them. My 3 were gigged all around the country and thrown in a back of a van night after night and they never let me down so I don't have any reservations about their reliability.

One of the killer features is the fact that these can be pole mounted and as such can be used for FOH speakers at smaller gigs or, as I did, speakers for rehearsals to save having to drag much larger and heavier equipment to the rehearsal room.

The monitor accepts both line and mic level signals so it can also be used for a direct vocal amp/speaker which is a great feature for small gigs where only the vocals need to be amplified (hotel and restaurant gigs for instance)

The monitor does take XLR inputs so if you do want to send a line level signal in you will need to use an adaptor or go via a DI box to allow a mic level signal in.
