This compact speaker has a nice sound, only the bass response is not very good, but what you could expect from 2 5" speakers. It is perfect for use as a preview/monitor on a small stage, or even a small P.A., although for the latter I would recommend using a subwoofer with it. The built-in DSP is very useful for different setups (Loudness especially for background music on receptions or exhibitions, which gives a better bass response)
