Great for the practice space or gigs.

I have been using this monitor as a moniter or as a pa for smaller gigs at restaurants, bars and the like. Worked like a charm everytime. Kinda heavy, but that is stated in the info of the product. Sounds great and does what it says on the box.

Excellent stage monitor, even works well at rehearsal rather than using full Pa

This monitor performs well as a stage monitor using the line input, bass treble eq controls eliminate feedback and allow a crisp powerful sound. Works very well as a practice amplifier inverted of using the full PA system and allows connection of a small mixer for the vocals.

Cheap and cheerful

A bit bassy and not a huge amount of volume but does what it needs to do

Monitoring goodness

This monitor punches above its weight, giving a clear sound with lots of volume available.

This monitor packs a punch. Fills a large room with clear sounds.

Good Quality, acceptable sound (for the price it is great)

The Sound won'tz knock you of your feat, but it has some pressure to it and is definitely usable. As a Monitor for practice definitely fine, if you want a true image of how you sound it might dissapoint you though.

For the Price it does a great job

Great little monitor

Works perfectly. EQ control helps suppress feedback and plenty of volume..especially when paired with an extra passive speaker

I love this monitor

They are really good value. I've had ours for a number of years now and they just work and give good perfomance. Can't fault them. Get the extra speaker too as that works really well too!

Super!

We have 2 of these in our band, they are both clear and punchy and have not let us down over at least the last 5 years.

Loud enough for a good loud pub rock band with acoustic drums as floor wedges in small to medium sized venues, also worked great in a big hall.

We put vocals through them usually but in tiny venues we put the electric drum kit and bass through them too and they handle it all well as monitors

On occasion we've used them as a self standing pa no problems again

We also have the external cabinet which allows the full 120watts from one of these and this made a great simple pa set up with adequate power for a small venue / open mic night.

Solid and sound better than most of the plastic versions you can find.

A bit weighty would be my only comment but you only move them into the car, into the venue and back again...it's not like your moving them to your next gig on a pushbike or slinging them over your shoulder to walk 2 miles to your mates house???

Very happy purchase. The band have no complaints.

Surprisingly good

My first PA speaker for a small rehearsal space. I use it for vocals, keyboards and bass guitar (going through a mixer first) and will add electronic drums later.

Wasn't expecting much considering the price. I was surprised by the sound quality. Not the most refined details but really well balanced in all frequencies. It does its job very well. I even find myself listening to music on it. Having relatively high standards for hifi gear this speaks a lot for the quality of this speaker.

I may buy a second one later even though one is more than enough for my rehearsal needs.

Great to use

Bought this and a The Box passive monitor. Work a treat with nice clear sound. They are old school construction so are hefty to cart around. Great value and check that you get the right cables to connect them up.

the box MA120 MKII - useful hardware

It's not a Hi-Fi system, of course, but I think all the necessary frequencies are good to hear. I bought these two pieces and just tried to listen to any music with them like from regular speakers, the result is not bad! Mic in and Line in can be mixed separately, so it can be used for karaoke, for example.

It's loud enough to make a little party in the backyard. It would also be helpful in a band rehearsal, there is no question about that.

If anyone is sad about the lack of TS connections, I recommend buying an adapter. The XLR seems to be the right solution for stage equipment anyway (what it is).

In conclusion, it is a versatile (35 mm speaker flange), loud, clear sounding active monitor that does not cost much.

Excellent monitor for this price!

In this price range, the box MA120 MKII is an excellent monitor.

Although not very loud, it is the least you can use for acoustic drums.

SUPER VALUE AND LASTING MATERIAL

I use it for studio monitoring(voice mainly) and for stage monitoring. It is enough to play at gigs and to tell the truth i didnt expected that. EQ is SUPER also its connectivity. I highly recommend it !

Loud could be construed as an understatement.

Well made and sturdy. It does take up quite a footprint. Great value but don't turn it up to 11, your mom will kill you.
