The speaker is missing the lower frequencies which is good if you consider this a monitor speaker for a singer/guitarist (no feedback and buildup of lower frequencies on stage). I would not recommend to use this as main PA. For me it sounds best on "Drums" setting with no EQ applied.
There is a tiny bit of hiss i can hear from my unit (which will not be a problem on a noisy stage)
Certainly loud enough, i can hear my voice clearly.
I love the fact that there is and indicator led under the speaker grill showing you that the speaker is powered on (you don't have to look from the side). You can disable the indicator led in menu if you find it disturbing.
Otherwise solid construction, good quality, solid front mesh (you can step on), heavy (in a good way), reasonable size. Super easy to transport (good handles anywhere, fits good in hand)
Would recommend..
