ELX 112P : Ok, but not «good»:

4 years ago

I own a pair of Yamaha DSR112 speakers, and these EV-speakers sounds dull in comparison. They are less detailed (not precise frequencies), less detailed presence and less detailed bass. The bass sounds flat in a relatively bad way, like everything sounds the same (50hz rumble kind of bass).. still a deep sound, but not precise. You would obviousely need an 18" sub to reproduce good quality low frequencies.

And the amp is noisy, especially if speakerlevel is at top. Like unusable amount of noise. And these amp has no thermal plate/cooling help.

Not satisfied, but i ask for trouble paying so little - and still having high expectations. For the price i guess they are good. These are indeed very cheap. Kind of unfair to compare them with the DSR112, but thats what i have..

They can be used as floor-monitors, at least thats my plan. But i would actually rather buy another used pair of DSR112 for floor monitors.

Allright - if you plan to use these speakers as party-speakers, go for it!.. they sound good enough for that kind of thing.

but if you want to used them with a band - save your money and buy one «expensive» instead of two «half shitty»...

its a mistake to think that these will put out clear sound from both vocals, guitars, bass, keys and drums - its more like toys than tools. So im very very sorry to disapoint if you really considered buying them, or allready did.

Now to the positive stuff: for the price, you have a tool to do a job. Its better to have two monitors than NOT having two monitors. They are not useless.

Take care of your ears - i have tinnitus and you will too if you dont take care of your ears. Speaking of that, quality speakers play clearer at lower volumes. I ended up turning up the EV-speakers because they lacked details - and it obviousely did not help to turn them up.

All love from Norway
