General Questions : 8
2 way stage monitor with 10" main driver and compression tweeter in coaxal design. The cabinet is some kind of high impact molded plastic with 30/60/90 degree foldback angles. Has two parallel 1/4" jack inputs, is rated at 8 ohms impedance. 100 watts continuous, or 200 watts program / 400 peak. Light weight less than 20 lbs.

Technical Specs : 8
Type - PR392 Fender number. Cone speaker driver with acordean edge looks fairly durable. The speaker grill is mesh metal with protection of the driver. Comes in powered and passive types, mine is NON-powered. Powered model has slightly different model number.

Sound Quality : 9
Clean clear sound quality is very good, no audible distrotion. Good for close monitoring but will not cover a wide stage area. Place it on the floor right in front of your mic stand and it will do a good job. Good mids, clean highs, real deep lows are not very strong. Overall speaker output is moderate in the 95 to 98 DB SPL range, not very loud.

Features : 8
Small stage footprint and very light weight make this a very good floor monitor for small stages and acoustic groups that are not super loud. Big loud rock bands will need more than this can do. Best features are it's size and weight that make it easy to transport in any small car. The fact that this is flexable in terms of placement because of it's size and weight make it easy to use in many ways. Could place four of these on a small stage and not take up to much room. Plastic handle on mine broke after three years of regular use.

Overall Rating : 9
In the search for the ultimate small lightwieght floor stage monitor this is a good speaker and should be considered. At a cost of under $150. it is a very good value. The fact that your girl singer can carry two into the gig from the back seat of her Honda Civic, one in each hand makes it worth a great deal. In the real live preformance its good for bands that play at moderate levels and need clean sound. If you play acoustic music and your picky about your vocals than this is a great stage monitor.
