the box MA8/2 CL Reviews

Does the job - depends on the use...

I purchased two of these for on stage monitors, to accompany my Mackie SRM450v2's which are used for FOH. I work in a duo, so backing tracks, live keyboard, and microphones.

They have plenty of power for personal monitoring. Sometimes when my FOH speakers are a bit further away from me I miss a bit of bass oomph in the monitors, but then you're not going to get that from 8" speakers. However, clarity is very good, and portability is fantastic. The handles keep coming loose, and every 2-3 months I'm taking of the front grill, taking the driver out, and re-fitting the handle. It's just a little nut and bolt so it's not a big deal. Never had any faults with them, even though they've been bumped around in my boot, and fallen out of my car. Brill product!

Questa spia della del box è stata la soluzione più semplice per andare incontro alle esigenze dei live nei piccoli locali che chiedono di spostare gli altoparlanti per avere una diffusione sonora migliore e in questo modo abbiamo tutti la possibilità di sentire quello che stiamo suonando il segnale di uscita per il mitico e usando due casse di questa facendo un panpottaggio come si vede si ha la possibilità di separare anche per le chitarre per permettere ai musicisti di sentire ognuno il proprio strumento senza impastare troppo il suono. la qualità di queste casse per il prezzo che si paga è notevole, non me lo sarei mai aspettato

Great little monitor.

I play in a five piece band playing rock/pop with lead and 2 backing vocals in pubs and the occasional club. We are often playing small venues and are cramped up for space, so even though we were worried about the size of this thing and whether it would be loud enough, we took the gamble and bought one.

We are very pleased with this monitor. It has proved itself loud enough for our needs, and it is very small and light. It just has a volume control, so there's no messing about with settings on it, you just eq the sound from the mixer.

We are seriously considering buying another one to position at the back of the stage for the drummer. (It's not a slight on the unit, I reckon any monitor would struggle to carry a clear sound back to the drummer).

It also seems to be built pretty solidly, we've no worries over quality. It has gigged with us 15 or 16 times since we've had it and we've never had a problem with it.

Highly recommended. If you are a typical pub band like us it's unlikely you will need anything bigger or more expensive.

The Box MA8

A lovely small monitor that is perfect for the small gig or rehearsal. It weighs almost nothing and is easy to install.

Handy for a rehearsal room

Have a couple of these guys in a rehearsal room and the sound from such a small box is quite surprising/impressive. I don't think it would stand up to live performances, but for a small rehearsal room, perfect!

great

powerful and light to carry. Well built. On the downside the front screen is made a very thin cloth material that breaks quickly and makes it look tatty. Great!

monitor

superb little product. i bought it specifically for vocal monitoring and it is ideal for putting 2-3 vocal mixes through it for onstage listening. makes a big difference to live sound being able to hear youself and this is such a small lightweight product that it hardly took up any stage onstage or in the van. very handy thing to have and is controllable at your feet. which is a very handy thing not to be running back to the mixer to adjust the levels during the gig. would reccomend having 2-3 of these for a band. handy for a drummer also to put down beside the kit. very good

basic but portable

The pros of this monitor are that it is small, light and cheap. It sounds quite good and its certainly been adequate for everything I've used it for - its never had to deal with a heavy drummer and loud backline though, but for smaller folk or acoustic set ups its fine. The only con is that it feels slightly flimsy, I'm not sure how it would stand up to constant use.

Great Monitor

I purchased these speakers for an installation at a local secondary school. I found them to be made of quality components, not too heavy to move around especially by school children.

There is plenty of power available with these speakers and I have found them to be very clear and precise in the applications I have used them in from school assemblies , concerts with bands, to stage plays and performances.

The controls are very easy to use and understand and this speaker can also be used for small PA purposes.

Great active monitor

Thanks for the great monitor, really provides value for money.

Good quality item, good sound.

Will purchase another one for sure.

MA8/2CL MONITOR

cheap and cheerful monitor, but all you need for monitoring banking vocals in pub gigs. The great thing is it's so small and portable!

Exelent

Hi. I play in a cover band situated in London. Very often we play small venues and for that reason I've bought the ma8/2cl. For the size they are very loud. Talking about size: I can put two of them behing the back seat of a car. Very clear good sound. Active, so u don't have to drag any extra amps with you. Overall fantastic product. Highly recommend.
