the box pro Mon A12

I bought this for live gigs with my band when venues have limited monitor systems. We are not a very loud band and this monitor has enough to give me what I need to hear my vocals and guitar clearly in the on stage mix. The pros are that this is a good value monitor for the price and is comparable with more expensive options. The only cons are that the metal grill is a little soft and quite easily will bend. Unfortunately for me mine was slightly damaged in shipping, stills works and sounds great and as I'm in UK I have decided to keep it as it's only cosmetic damage and don't want to ship back to Germany. I would suggest some more robust packaging to protect what is a quality product. It'd also be nice to have the cover thrown in as well with a discount if bought together.

I'm currently using a Carlsbro PM 15 purely for vocals and a little bit of guitar and was looking for something a bit more compact and lighter than the Carlsbro. I've checked out a number of other 12" monitors but there doesn't seem to be much information or reviews available on these Box Pro A12s. However the specifications and ratings appear to be pretty good and the prices was very competitive compared to some of the others. Therefore I decided to get one of these and see how it went.

The design is very sleek and compact and although there is no graphic capability on this unit, the output is very clear and defined with a reasonable amount of bottom end. As I'm really only using for vocals and guitar, there is plenty there before it starts to clip. If you're on a budget and not looking to push too much through the monitor, this does a very decent job.

I bought two Mon A12, active monitor before 6 months! I use it in different ocasion: like stage monitor on small to medium stages, like DJ monitor in clubs, and also like front fill in PA mode! All feedbacks are more than good especially for that price range. In monitor mode I don't have any problems with mic feedback also in high level and on same time it sounds natural and enogh present for vocal control! Maybe you can't cover big loudnes on stage when you work with metal bands but there is planty of volume especially if you use pair of them- for example for main vocal!
If you are not obliged to fulfill the condition of the riders, where you can find only strong brands, - this is the choice for you!
