"Great for use with high school students!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

I have been very pleased with this system. My drama students have been very easy to train in its setup and use. We use it for our plays in a small theatre that seats 400. Everyone in the auditorium is able to hear. We also lend it to our local Children's Theatre for their productions. It is holding up very well. In fact, the Children's Theatre group is saving to buy this same system. If this one was to break down, I would replace it with another one.
Sound
We have received many compliments at our drama performances for the quality of the sound system. While our primary use is in making sure the back row can hear the actors, we also use it to play music in our plays, and it does a very nice job. The Children's Theatre group that borrows our system for their shows added a couple of hang mics to the system for us.
Features
I was particularly pleased to buy a system that included everything I needed, so I didn't have to worry whether the microphones were appropriate or spend time picking and choosing from individual products to create a system.
Ease of Use
None of us were sound technicians when we bought this for our Drama Club. We've trained ourselves and several of our students to set up and operate the equipment. Once it is set up, students do all the adjusting and operating. We have connected computers and cd players to it with excellent results.
Quality
We bought some professional bags to store and carry our equipment (microphones and stands, not speakers). They are padded, and so far nothing is scarred. The speakers are stacked in my classroom closet between shows. If they get a little dusty, a soft cloth takes care of that.
Value
I never thought we'd get such a nice system for the money we could afford. Public schools are all about budget. Even though our club raised the money and no public funds were used, I still was required to do a comparison of what was available before purchasing.
Manufacturer Support
I have had no reason to deal with them. The product has performed very well for several years without the need of repair or service of any kind.

Well, its kind of quiet for outdoor venues and extra microphone clips came with its so im happy.
Sound
The sound is good, but the only thing is that the white noise is terrible, but when you are playing through it you can't even notice it. The microphones are decent and the 15 inch woofers are awesome. If you need a lot of bass, these speakers are the way to go.
Features
Everything was included. It felt like Christmas when all the packages arrived at my door.
Ease of Use
I gave this a 7 because when you move it from place to place, its a real pain when you set it up because it takes literally 20 minutes to do so. But all you have to do is turn it on when it is set up.
Quality
Everything was made to perfection. I don't see this breaking within 3 years unless somebody drops the mixer or something. The speakers are heavy. You usually need 2 people to put them on the stands but I do it myself because I like setting it up by myself so I know where everything is.
Value
Its valuable.
Manufacturer Support
Im sure all of the different companies atleast talk to you...
The Wow Factor
Its orgasmic. I mean, when all of the pretty lights turn on the mixer, its like a stripper in my house.
