The Box MA150

Very heavy!! Sounds good but much too heavy and very disappointed with only one small handle which makes it more difficult to carry around, This monitor should at least 5 Kilos lighter and should have 2 handles.

A workhorse for the budget minded.

Not high end, as you would expect at the price point, but highly capable and ideal for a gigging band. I've bought several of these and used for vocal foldback without drama. Sound quality is good for the price. Intending to buy a couple more.....

Excellent little powerhouse.

Recently purchased and gave it a test run. Sounds great with no feedback and lots of oomph. Looking forward to trying it for real tomorrow with its brothers

Good sound, but quite big for a monitor

I have to admit that I assumed these to be smaller. Well, anyway only downside is that carrying these are pain. Sound and features are good for our purposes (using these as monitor speakers in acoustic duo gigs). Would be better for rock band usage where the size doesn't matter that much.

The Box

"The Box" is the right name for this loud speaker. You can use it for monitoring as well as PA speaker. It has a very solid body so it's very heavy but as a guitarist nothing is better than such a big box to stand on with your left foot. The handling is easy. It's an active box, an amp is integrated, so you can turn on the volume you like. The 3-band EQ finishes a sound for every wishes. There is an Line-in, an XLR-in and the best: a speakon out, so you can plug an additional passive Speaker on.

I play every concert with The Box. And if it ever got broken, I just buy a new one because there is no cheaper speaker.

good for rehearsals

compact, good sounding monitor for a good price. Might not deliver in really loud enviroments such as gigs or rock rehearsal with attitude, but in more tamed situations it really shines.

AWESOME!!!

Sorry to shout but this thing is loud! Bought this along with the electronic drums and chose the 150 as it has a 15" driver. I thought that t would be better for the bass. I was not wrong. It has amazing output. I never was not loud enough. The only drawback was that I was too big to go in my car. I had to change it (the car, of course!) for one with bigger doors.

The tone on this unit is fabulous, with a good, full range and crystal clear sound all the way. It has two inputs, for mic and line and individual volume controls and overall low, mid and hi control. It also, I recall, has a line out, although never had any call to use it as I never needed to be louder. It is a heavy unit but worth the extra effort. I did add a set of castors and, maybe that would be my only suggestion. The 120 is a one handed unit but the 150 is a bit unwieldy for small gigs.

For all that, it is an extremely sturdy powerful unit that, with a mixer, one could even use as a PA. It certainly was big and powerful enough to take my electronic drums throug them and still have plenty of power left over.

Big and bold

I ordered two of these cabs to go with my Alesis Studio kit. I did not check the sizes before I ordered. I was very surprised at the size of them. They do the job beutifully though. I find I get a better volume when using the Mic channel rather than the line in.

Value for money

Nice powered monitor wedge - very cheap and the sound reflects this a bit but for an amateur band it's ideal. Nice and punchy too.

Excellent

This monitor has to deal with some VERY LOUD back line in our band, and it still cuts through, without feeding back, unless you totally crank it of course. Really pleased.
