Bien pour un retour de scène mais ne vie pas longtemps ( 4-5 ans )

Good but not great

The monitor is fantastic for loud noises and to plug into your drum kit but when you use any cymbals it makes a horrible noise.

Not bad for Solo but not enough power for anything bigger.

Ok sound, not very loud though

For this size you expect more sound. Quality is good though. A pity the Box does not come with a cable so it is not plug and play. An unpleasant surprise that you want to plug it in immediately after arrival and you have to go to a shop for a cable.

Not the best

For 120W, the volume is very low. Coupled with an electronic drum kit, I have to turn the volume to 10 to be able to hear the drums if any other instruments are played.

The features are ok and the built quality seems fine. It's light and relatively easy to move.

I guess for this price, it's ok but don't expect to gig with this unless you gig in your bedroom

Small money - decent monitor

Easy to use, cheap monitor.

Sounds fine, not wonderful but adequate for a basic monitor. This will do the job if it's carefully looked after. It is easy to damage so take care and be as gentle as possible. I forced an xlr in one of the housings and the internal solder came apart.

Naturally, at this price the build quality won't withstand much rough treatment but after I fixed it and learned to be gentle; there's been no problem with the monitor.

If you are a light gigging musician/dj/mc this will do the job nicely but a touring professional might need to spend a little more for peace of mind and longevity.

The end-flange is a nice touch which allows it to be mounted on a speaker-stand. I've used this feature on places which need a small PA for announcements and such and it's worked fine.

All in all - it's everything I expected and more for the price.

Works but with limitations

Has a nasty tendency to clip with the volume at 50% or over, shame as the sound quality and clarity are decent.

Great for a one man set up

I have gigged with this monitor both with a band and by myself. It works nicely when your by yourself but once you put a set of drums and a bass behind you the sound from the monitor is lost. Its well built and can produce a good on stage sound. Im sure the bigger sizes would cope well with a band

Hope thos helps

Monitor

I have been using this for 5 years with my band, it works perfectly but its the heaviest piece of kit!

We are still arguing over who carries it in from the van.

We needed it with an amp because our desk isnt powered.

I wont buy another for the weight reason, its a tricky thing to move around.

But it does the job and the sound is great off it.
