FRFR-112 Active Monitor : Perfect For A Variety Of Uses

With the release of outstanding and flexible modelling amps like the Fractal Audio AxeFX and Line6 Helix, the need for super-loud valve amplifiers is rapidly diminishing. However, if you don't want to record directly, use desktop monitors/headphones or run straight to a PA for live use, you still need a power amp and cabinet(s).

Well, you used to need a power amp and cabinet. This Headrush FRFR Monitor changes that.

Whether you want to keep the volume to neighbour-friendly levels, crank it to use with bandmates or use it as a monitor on the stage, this does it all. I haven't used it at live performance levels yet, but I have no doubt it would cope.

I've accidentally kicked the speaker grille a few times and there's not a mark on it (more than can be said for my old Marshall cab, years ago). I'm definitely going to add a second one to enjoy stereo effects.

A pair of Marshall 2x12 cabs would be over 50kg and cost over €1000. Plus, you'd need a power amp. A stereo pair of these is 32kg and under €600. If you use a modelling amp or multiFX, get one of these.

... or two!
