the box pro Achat 104 A

very good

it's a powerful little speaker that you can pair with one subwoofer or only if you don't care about the bass, it also produces a little

Great

A 1/4 jack input wout have been great as well. Otherwise great product for its size and cost

AMAZING!!!

Amazing little speaker for the price. I use it as a monitor in a control room and its great for bringing the mix up close. Will definitely be buying more for other purposes. Really loud also for the size.

Just another good product

Good:

Quality seems to be awesome

SMPS and class D amplifier

Small and cute, but plays very loud!

Could be better:

Response is very thin, yes it's a 4 inch but a half liter more and it whould be very much better.

In my home Cinema (surr/surrBack) i will set crossover to 90/100hz for these.

Great product

Compact and powerful for its size, great for vocal monitoring on stage where space is limited. Clean and clear sound and low noise. Convenient to transport with a special bag that can be purchased separately and the bag can also fit power supplies and short signal cables. At first I was a little doubtful about these speakers, but when the items arrived and I tried them, the surprise was positive

Top speaker

My work is providing sound for webcasting and with a zoom/ teams call you need a small speaker for the foldback so the host can hear the conversation.

What a surprise, the sound is not what you expect from a speaker this size. Oke it starts at 100 hz, so what! It can go very loud.

You can also use it for small p.a.. Fill in speaker, on front of the stage or mount it on a stand.

I like the size and the various ways you can mount the speaker.

Build to last, old fashion wood, no plastic.

Conclusion: value for money!

Other more expensive active speakers are less versatile In mounting and size.

A have now 4 104A speakers and I am sure that more will follow :-)

amazing litle guy, for small roms prfect companion for stage piano, very good output, clear sound, enough basses, totaly great speaker

Expected more

Having been pleased with the passive version of these speakers, I ordered 2x 104As to compare. I'm a little dissappointed at the comparison;

It seems that the volume control is acting as an attenuator before the amplifier rather than altering the gain. Therefore the speakers are very noisy! I have used the passive 104s as near field monitors before but struggle with these thanks to the loud hiss.

They evidently suffer from a low quality, internal amplifier as their tonal quality is inferior to that of the passive version (paired with t.amp TSA 4-300).

Cosmetically, the volume pot protrudes further than the rest of the cabinet which suggests vulnerability to damage and could foul otherwise tight fitting cases.

HOWEVER;

In an environment that would mask the noise and with appropriate EQ I'm sure that these would find their place. A relatively discreet, active loudspeaker with a "can't go wrong" setup. For the price, I can't complain too much but would still prefer their passive counterparts for many applications.

Works perfectly even at a high volume, clear sound. Heavy and sturdy. Ideal for home or gallery installations, for anything else it is too weak I guess. Value for money 10/10. Will get more eventually.

Quality Utility Powered Speaker

After extensive market-research I came back to these as they're fairly unique.

I use them for amplifying sound for small/medium AV presentations and as a portable, simple speech sound-system.

They're well-built, unostentatious and just get on and deliver the goods. Quiet and non-hissy when no signal received. XLR balanced inputs/outputs are welcome, showing that this is a serious bit of kit for the discerning user.

A thoughtful touch is the supplied sticky-pad so the mic stand adapters won't mark the finish.

Just a good, straightforward, simple amplified small speaker - and MUCH cheaper than the 'industry-standard'!
