Pros:
- Bass is really solid, can forgo sub in small/medium spaces
- EQ capable of adapting to most situations
- Range of inputs to support karaoke, village fete, fitness class, house party, BBQ, you get the idea...
-Considering price, sound is more than I expected!
-Wants to be played LOUD!
Cons:
- Quite noticeable "hiss", especially with master gain set to 0db. Bluetooth silence also has additional "signal noise & pops/crackles". Frustrating because high master gain is often required... see next point.
- Limiter comes on frequently, at very low output volumes. Hours of playing around, setting inputs to unity, limiter is always overactive if the Master gain is set lower than -10db. example: a fixed input level is limited at -20db, but not at -9db. Limiter comes on less the closer you get to unity on the output gain, but is unfazed by the input signal at the same setting? I don't get it.
- Neither input seems to register a visual "signal" on the DSP display until you turn the master gain past 0db. Is it visualising peak?
- Bluetooth input gain is "fixed" audibly lower than other inputs. Uses master gain so you stuck with using -10db to 0db or more (hisssss) or limiter kicks in. BT Range is more like 5m. A man carried a table between myself and speaker and the connection "broke".
- Aux line in gain uses input 1 gain, yet is audibly much lower volume than input 1 itself. Might make balancing 2Mic and a music track a bit awkward.
-Good looking box, just wish badge was stuck on straight! For what might be considered a cheaper brand, simple details like this go a long way to improve image.
- Wants to be played LOUD, as listening at low levels reveals a few annoyances.
Summary:
- You do get alot for your money. I really can't fault the features and sound volume plus the ability to tweak EQ to my needs is excellent.
-Wouldn't want to lend or rent it out as it needs some attention with the DSP concerning levels and tuning.
-Time will tell if the Limiter "settles down" or if it is actually indicating something is wrong.
Edit: many years on, speaker still performs brilliantly! Limiter function is a non issue. Yes it is heavey, but for the price it sounds really great, has plenty of adjustment and is versatile used as monitor, main, conference and side fill. Bluetooth switch is a bit scratchy, but still connecting with limited range! Just a good speaker to have, for little cash! Note: blue LCD screen is good, the model with red screen seems to be problematic.

Excellent value for money!

At this price point you can't get a better all around active speaker. Quality is great and features are more than enough for the application needed. You will have to pay more than twice the price to get a better speaker and that's more than enough to recommend this. Thanks!

In short - I really rate them. They look great and sound good.
Use - rehearsal and small gigs as PA, usually just on their own.
Pros - they look so well made, easy to set up and use, Has a basic two channel mixer built in and reliable Bluetooth. They are pretty loud cranked up, but at lower levels also they give a clear balanced full range sound - after you have tweaked the EQ, see below. 4 clearly distinct DSP settings. one of the best characteristics for me though is that they are almost completely silent - I mean you have to stick you ear on the grill to hear even the faintest hiss. This is in contrast to the Mackie Thumps that I ordered previously and sent straight back - the hiss was more than 50db, absolutely awful and completely unacceptable.
Cons - the default EQ is very bright, almost painfully high frequency heavy. Fortunately there is an effective EQ built in so that you can customise the sound for your space, in addition to using the 4 DSP presets. It is only possible to link one speaker with Bluetooth, so you don't get stereo and have to link the second speaker with a cable. They are a bit on the hefty side, but have good grips so are easy enough to handle.
Conclusion, I think these are a complete bargain. They replaced my old B212D speakers, which I now use as stage monitors. One of the two I ordered was dead on arrival, but Thomann replaced it immediately and very quickly. Excellent service.
