I bought this to replace the heavy old PA system I had been using for solo gigs. It's made my job a lot easier and my back is thanking me!
The first system I bought had a fault so I had to send it back and wait for a replacement which took far too long as one of my returned parcels got lost in the post, so I was without a PA for 4 weeks.
I'm happier now I've got one that works. I can now fit into a much smaller playing area because this is so compact. And I don't need monitors any more.
The sound quality is very good and I love having the ability to adjust the sub and main volumes independently. I get a great vocal sound now, especially with the addition of my little sound craft mixer, and my acoustic guitar can be both warm and punchy.
I've used the Bose system before and I'd say that for pub gigs there's so little difference in quality to be almost indistinguishable. Except they cost about a third of the price.
I'm so happy I'm going to get a second one so I can link them for the larger venues.
I love the bluetooth feature. And the sound quality when playing music from my phone is awesome. These would be brilliant for DJs. And I imagine they'd be brilliant as drum monitors on a big stage. There are so few feedback problems. The only time I have a problem is with the low end of my guitar, but now I'm using a feedback buster on the guitar there's no problem.
It sounds best when the PA is more than about 5 or 6 feet away so when I have a little more room in a venue I put it as far away as I can, then I'm getting exactly the same sound as the audience. Too close and it's a little too warm and boomy, so I end up dialling down the bottom end only to find the guitar is too thin for the audience. I found a happy medium after a few attempts and now I have to do little more than plug in and play in my regular venues.
