Such an impressive wee speaker.

I bought this speaker for my drum lessons and intended to use it for metronome practice and exam work but ended up using it a my gigs! It’s surprising loud and clear and extremely easy to transport.

Small

Not so powerful, but easy to handle.

Really great for the price

Excellent for small gigs. Pretty durable, and since it's very lightweight and small it's easy to transport. If you need a simple monitor that has a decent, clear sound without getting too harsh or shrill on louder volumes, just get this monitor.

the box MA8/2 CL is better than a lot of bigger stage monitors, compact , clear , eazy to transport and use. It would benefit from tone controls, low mid and high, but having said that, I have not experienced any unwanted feedback. I do put the full mix through and like to lift the mids in monitors for vocal clarity when performing. A nice practical monitor at a fair price.

just what i needed

I wanted it for feedback for small gigs and it is just perfect. Good sound and enough power, easy to handle. It sure doesn't have fancy features but for the price is great

Worth every penny!

Knockout little powered monitor that really works well. I was concerned that 70w RMS might not cut it - I was wrong, it is clear, loud and faultless. Great small compact monitor. Will buy another shortly.

Amazing little monitor

Love this floor monitor,

It's perfect for voice monitoring.

The frequency response is good in the mids and highs and a bit lacking on the lower end but

if you look at the specs before buying and have reasonable expectations you will be able to appreciate the true value of this little monitor.

Compact Monitor

This monitor is best suited for intimate gigs when space is very limited for monitors.

It has a good steep angle for the speaker.

Some EQ is needed has they can sound a little thin and edgy otherwise. And can also peak rather quickly.

Best used for an acoustic solo or duo act.

The Box MA8/2 Powered Floor Monitor

Had mine for years and it?s been brilliant. Very loud and clear, good full range sound, light, tough & compact. Our Singer started using it sideways on as his main vocal monitor a couple of years ago since he is always front of stage and moving about. Just as good as the old active monitors but much smaller and convenient.

Fantastic quality for the price.

This is a great monitor to use as a small amp for diverse uses. I gave four stars for features because it is minimal (one input, no EQ, etc.) but in fairness, it is what it is and I can't complain since it's a monitor after all and not a mixer. :)

The build quality is awesome for the price and it doesn't feel like cheap plastic. Nice weight to it.

Sounds is better than the price suggests. I might buy a second one soon.

mini marvel

I play big stages all over europe but when not on tour i like to play small bars. its then all about getting everything as small as possible but maintaining quality. I still use top end gear...allen and heath, shure, QSC but try to keep everything as small and light as possible. But i dont want to compromise on quality. im playing these small bars for fun after all. I use 10" monitors but couldn't help thinking about an even smaller wedge. when these cute little 8" monitors arrived my heart sank. I wasn't expecting them to be THAT small and felt sure i'd gone a step too far. Imagine my delight when i found them to be tight, clear and better sounding than my 10" ones. Ok im only putting acoustic instruments, vocals and a foot stomp through them but the clarity was alarming and the kick pedal kicked like a mule. They take up no room on stage and look smart. Even as i was setting them up other musicians were casting envious glances. No E.Q. but found i didn't need it. Sound way better than the Personal mic stand mounted monitor that does a similar job.

Great little monitor

This is a great little active monitore. Bought it just to check out the Tbone brand and I am very satisfied with this product. Despite it's small size it's relatively loud, has a very clear and defined sound. I have used it as a singers floor monitor in some smaller venues and as the drummers monitor proped up on a flight case in some louder gigs.

Pros:

-great sound

-loud for it's size

-sturdy build quality

-very light

cons:

-can't really think of anything negative...

For the money great & for accoustic tone lovely

Very good!

We like it because it's very compact and light. Suitable for a small scene. It have a good sound. The body is hard, it is difficult to damage. We bought two monitors and will use them for a small stage - two singers, a guitar, keys and a hand drum.

Drum Foldback Speaker

The item is better than we expected. Although the bass drum sound is a little lacking which is to be expected for a speaker of this size, the overall sound quality is excellent and perfect for the drummer in our church worship group to hear what he is playing

Excellent Product!

This monitor is brilliant. IT's so powerful i only ever need it on halfway even in a gig environment.

Easy to set up, mobile and small considering the power it transmits.

No downsides as far as i can see so far

A great little speaker

These speakers are small but sound very good and are as loud as you would need them to be. I used some belonging to a friend then decided I must buy some! I have used them for stage foldback (don't take up much room - great!) and for playing backing tracks for a recording. Perhaps a little EQ would help but at the price they are a great buy and the build quality is excellent.

Excellent Good Looking Monitor

I was very pleased when we received this monitor. The wedge shape makes it ideal for our stage. It looks classy and it is well constructed. The handle makes it easy to move around as well.

The monitor is just at the right angle to help our musicians. They think the sound from the monitor is crisp and even. There are no spikes in sound and there has been interference or feedback if normal precautions are used.

The auto on feature is great and works as expected. The pass through feature also lets us add another monitor in the series. All in all this has been good value for the money!

Small but powerful

Purchased 2 of these for the stage at my local church, they stand up to the rigors of being moved as the stage needs demand. They have a nice sound and the feedback from individuals who have used them is that they are small but powerful.
