Good monitor for small gig / practice usage

While only having this monitor for a short time, in it's short application with me I have found that it is loud enough for most acoustic and small band gigs, it has a clip/limit control which is perfect for when the venue doesn't have it's own outboard effects or monitor system of its own, if you're looking for something for bigger/louder or more venue style use though I would recommend the slightly bigger 120watt version of this monitor.

very useful monitor

I bought a couple of these for my band but I ended up using them with a Zoom A.2 acoustic guitar processor as a stereo backline for my electro-acoustic guitar. The sound is very good and they are well made. Highly recommended for many purposes.

Monitors

When I first bought these I was skeptical but the reviews that had been left by other people gave me the confidence to try them. Best decision I ever made. They are perfect for speeches, prechers and I even use one of them as a singers monitor. Because they are so small I can turn them really loud without fear of feedback. I have never had to put the inbuilt volume on them louder than half way and I barely have any volume on the mixer but they are at times louder than my main speakers. Crazy thing is my main speakers have 2 15" cones ha ha ha. I recommend these beauties

Fantastic monitor!

If you're looking for a compact but clear and defined monitor, then look no further. This is a truly fab piece of kit. I bought one for use at a residency gig in a bar where space was a real issue. Was a little dubious given it's small size (8") but then I plugged it in and wow. Just wow. Never heard such fabulous sound from such a small piece of kit. I now own three and regularly use them when doing sound for function bands who are used to big 12/15" floor monitors and every single person who's heard/used them has commented on their clarity.

Light and loud enough for most things.

These should be used as personal monitor. One monitor per person. For that they are well suited. They are quite small, but the sound is loud enough. If you're in a heavy metal band with big amplifier stacks turned up full these babies won't cut it. They are also not suited for monitoring drums or bass. You'll need something with larger speakers and more power for that. But otherwise the are really good and easy to move around. I give them 5 stars considering the price!

Surprisingly loud

When these arrived almost sent them back as I didn't realize how small they were, then I plugged them in.... Wow they are fantastic, how loud they are for their size, and are so easy to transport, there not going to cover a massive stage, but for small stages if angled and pointing correctly there perfect. There not perfectly flat but nothing a bit of ringing out can't fix, then your good to go. Used them with many different styles of bands, using 4 of them as 4 way monitor mix and they work great only had compliments on the stage sound, also saves breaking your back carrying them around.

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

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

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.

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.
