If you're looking for a few extra monitors for your live gigs, but you don't have a lot of room or courage to carry big and heavy stage monitors, look no further!
In my opinion these monitors are amazing, because of their size, weight and the sound that these little monsters put out. These speakers can honestly go insanely loud, much louder than I will probably ever need.
I can practically fit one of these in my backpack and go to a gig with it.
For me the most important aspect when looking for 2 new monitors for my band and other gigs was portability and weight. These are perfect additions for my arsenal because I can take them anywhere, no problem with space. In rehearsal you can just plug a mic in it and off your singer goes. You can mount them on microphone stands or other stands with the right screw size, so you can either have stage monitors at your ear height, or better yet, use them as front fills. They work great either way.
The "Tone" knob is very useful. By turning it to the left, it makes the sound more bassy and turning it right adds more trebble and actually removes some bass. It has been very useful for quick EQ, or in rehearsal when you have a mic plugged straight into the speaker.
Now, obviously you aren't going to use them for your bass guitarist monitor. For that you need to have a much bigger monitor. But most bassists carry their own bass amp to the gig anyway. So it doesn't really matter! And the bass that these tiny speakers produce is actually for most band mates, more than enough!
You can hear the monitors still quite clearly even if you walk back from them 3 or 5 meters. However, if you move to the side, then the sound changes drastically.
Conclusion: Great little monitors! Don't be afraid that these things won't have enough volume or Bass (unless you want a monitor for a bassist). Light, small, you can buy IMG's own bags or the Thomann bags, both work great. They sound suprisingly good and again, can go incredibly loud. Overall, very nice purchase!
