Make a nice compact foldback speaker
Purchased several of these to use as on stage foldback for a Church. We were having problems as the room we use was very reverberant, so wanted to b able to lower the level of on stage sound. By having more smaller speakers, closer to the musicians we were able to achieve this. For the cost, they are perfect for what we required.
They mount well on either short or tall mic stands and can be angled to point at your ears nicely. Nice choice of inputs (XLR, Jack, RCA), and able to daisy chain them. Volume control on the back so individual can change the overall level of their mix, but not too obvious so as to have people constantly tinkering with them. As they are quite compact, they are not obtrusive on the stage.
They are quite heavy, so make sure the stand you put them on, if doing this, is not too flimsy, and that you make sure you do all the adjusters on the stand up tight, or you may find the speaker moving!
Overall, for what we wanted to achieve, these have done the job really well, and value wise are perfect. The quality of the product, and the quality of the sound from them is ideal for our situation.

mini-monitors
these are the answer to a prayer,especially for the older working band.The weight and portability are amazing,I carry mine in the passenger footwell of my car.as to performance,they well outperform our old 1x12'' wedges...the drummer uses a cymbal stand and gets his within 500mm.of his ears. I have a friend who has had a pair for well over a year and he is also very happy. We have about 100 years playing experience between us...we can't both be wrong!!

Amazed
Bought this as, being a keyboard player Im often at the back of the stage, and standard wedge monitors are blocked by my keyboards. This little beauty has a mounting bracket that allows you to mount it on a mic stand, so now the monitor is at ear height, and its small enough not to be obstructive!
Ive only given it 4 stars for sound as it has only got small speakers, but sound quality isnt what this is about, it so I can now for the first time actually hear what Im, and the band is playing.
The Web page says you need an adaptor to mount onto the Mic stand- but that is only true if you have a stand with the smaller 3/8" thread, but mine didnt

Versatile little boxes
Very handy active boxes. Useful range of inputs. The supplied multi-angle mounting is versatile, but not all that secure - I've fixed a socket so I can pole mount when I need to. But the sound is good, they are loud and clean. Very useful for near-field monitors; can even do a simple monitor on a stand for drums.

Great monitors
I love these monitors, one of my best investments, I have 4 of them. I didn't expect much from these due to size and price, but had them about 5 years and still working well.
The mountings were a disappointment, I have had my own design quick release angle brackets made which I mount onto sturdy cymbal stands and are now very stable, mounting on microphone stands was not working well for me, they didn't feel very secure.
I would prefer if they had a separate mains lead as transporting them would be a lot easier.
Sound wise they don't give a lot of very highs or very lows but that is fine for monitoring and is good in terms of feedback

perfect for a monitor
out of the box its durable, i dropped it and it took the drop to the floor, overall its nicely made and as a drummer it is a nice sized speaker for a monitor, only draw back for me is the controls are on the back, so to adjust the volume you have to reach around the back,
the clarity is brilliant and i have used this as a speaker in small acoustic set up as you can plug in a mic or jack to jack lead, so it can give you a little bit extra when doing a session or even busking
overall its durable, well made and a nice addition to anyone who needs a small monitor in there set up

Very good for its price
We mounted 12 pieces in a church about 3 years ago.
They still work perfectly.

Used as small nearfield monitors
Got 5 of these to use as small nearfield monitors in a church. They are well constructed, and stand up to the general abuse they get, including being dropped and knocked over. They provide a good sound level, which can be controlled on the back of the unit.
I imagine the mounting bracket would be good for wall mounting these, but for mounting on a microphone stand (we use short stands) it is far too long. I have modified it by cutting down the length of the supplied mounts so they are much shorter, and now have them mounted on the stands with the angle adjustable.

little pricy
very nice many options, i would like a better price for its little size, 100 watts is okey but not too much if you re next to a drummer for example. heavy too.

Mini monitors
We have 4 of these used as monitors. Although they could sometimes do with a little more power, in most cases they have been fine. We find they are best on top of mic stands (minus boom arm) as this height is great for singers to hear. Also seem pretty resistant to feedback too.
