dB Technologies Flexsys FM12

These were a much needed upgrade for me, I bought 5 at once, 3 at the bundle price and 2 at the normal price, which is a shame I couldn't take 5 as a bundle or any kind of deal. The covers that come as the bundle are not great but they help to keep them clean.

Volume isn't the be all and end all when it comes to speakers, but these are very loud for such a small box. A little bass heavy but i think this has been eq'ed into them to make them sound fuller. The mid range is phenomenal with a clean crisp top end and not overly processed sound to it.

Vocals cut through everything, Ive used these for one of the most demanding bands I work for and they like them, the lead singer has a pair, and I have tried the pre programmed processing built in to the monitor but still find the setting at 12 o clock that is just marked as monitor sounds and works the best, although if you are running monitors with no eq on the output I would imagine the "anti feedback" processing would be helpful.

I have recommended these to other singers who don't want to use in ears monitors, who have also tried mine and then bought them straight away. I could do with 2 more which I will be buying this year.

Relatively pretty light in weight and more compact compared to other products in the same output power range. Very good, natural sound, open sound thanks to the coaxial driver configuration.

Using these monitors for 2 years now all around Europe. Even on bigger stages and with demanding vocalists it produces a perfect output volume.
Like all monitors it needs proper EQ-ing when the maximum performance on vocal mics is required, room specific. However this is a smooth process and once all set it does not go into feedback easily.

12" low driver is perfect for many sources. I am happy that I went for the biggest FM12 model, although the 10" version performs OK in case less output is sufficient.
Do not compare this monitor with a D & B Max series, that would not be fair. Their sound is a step up, but so is their price!
However for the price (which even dropped in 2 years) it probably is the best you can get for an active wedge. Would definitely order more of them.

I like the simplicity of the amp panel, the basic connections and controls is all you need in a professional situation.
Would be even better and more neat on stage to have Powercons in/out on the amp.

We ordered the package deal with three monitors. One was dead on arrival, which is of course impractical. The remaining two work well.

These are practical active monitors, small yet quite powerful. Mechanical quality is OK. The carrying handle is well placed, but a bit flimsy. They are well designed, correctly angled, and unobtrusive on stage. Power handling is good - as others have noted, they are plenty loud enough! The loudspeaker stand flange is logically placed. Powercon would be good.

The most important part is the sound, of course. These are not stellar, but provide clear enough monitoring for vocalists or guitarists. The sound dispersion is rather good, you can move about a bit and still hear clearly. They are somewhat mid-heavy and lack treble sparkle, and of course you can't expect to push deep bass out of these relatively smal boxes. Spend some time getting to know them, use some EQ, and they will serve you well. Use other monitors if you require lots of bass or if you want more hi-fi sound on stage.

The DSP is OK, but somewhat counterintuitive. "Male voice" is bass-heavy, where the exact opposite would be needed. Likewise, "Female voice" lacks bass, which would be needed to add gravity to a female voice. I therefore use them opposite, and use "female voice" for male voices and vice versa :)

They are really good! If you are looking for a good active monitor look no further! They have a ton of power, lots of eq setups with the onboard DSP and they deliver a lot of bass, even the bassist on stage will be happy. I found out you must "break them in" for having the best sound, so don't take them straight to a gig, play some hours of music on them before using them.
The only "problem" that you have with every active monitor is the fact that you must take some el current to them and I wouldn't trust the musicians on stage to plug them in the same multi-plug that you set up for the guitar player effects...so I usually power them with dedicated el cables. If this is a problem for you, just buy some passive speaker and you will have just 1 cable to set up, but a rack amplifier to take around with you.
