the box MA5

Fantastic little speaker

For what it is, it sounds great and has a lot of power. It's very versatile and flexible with plenty of connections. Easy to put on a mic stand. It's fantastic for the money.

The best in it's class!!! Value for money , great for stage monitor.

The Box

Simple name for an effective monitor,very easy to use after an initial glitch,nothing to do with the equipment,my fault entirely.It is working great now.

The Box MA5

I have used this as a studio practice monitor (guitar and vocals) for a number of years now without a problem. The Echo function is a bit basic but still useful, generally good value and a good buy.

terrible

Complete waste of money .Cant begin to understand why an Echo is on this unit !! What purpose does it serve ..

Its not a Pro bit of kit , might be ok in a bedroom

A good idea

As an alternative to in-ear monitoring, this is good for small stages which will not fit large floor wedges.

I’ve used mine a few times and I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. The sound quality is very mid/high frequency focused. I think I expected a little bit more from this product.

Not worth the effort

Underpowered and low quality. OK for the money I suppose but the Behringer equivalent is far superior. Handy for the echo effect.

Great little speaker.

This is a great little speaker with plenty of volume, multiple inputs, 3 band EQ and phantom power. It should keep the bass player happy at our next gig (whenever that's going to be due to covid19)

Gets the job done

Mackie has a similar product that does sound better, but this definitely gets the job done. If you need loads of clarity and details from your monitor this won’t do, but I’ve used it for coverband-gigs and it does that job well. I can hear myself and the rest of the music which it’s all about for me. That it’s so compact and easy on the bank account makes it a good purchase!

Dissapointed

A bit disappointed with this item. My main goal (when I bought it) was to use it as personal monitor like this: Mic -> MA5 -> Mixing. If I connect like this the sound is barely audible and sounds like a thin can. It only works reasonable if I connect from the monitor out of the mixer to the input of the MA5 - but this scenario is not ideal because, as a small band, we use a small mixer with just ONE monitor output and, this way, I hear everybody on my monitor which was not what I needed. I bough this so I can hear my voice properly and isolated from the rest.
