Kustom KPC12MP 12" Powered Monitor Speaker  

Lost a monitor during a show on a Monday night. Order a pair of these and recived them just before the next Monday Night Show. Unpacked then on stage and they worked great.

Verygood overall sevice from customer service and shipping.

The 1/4" and XLR inputs are versatile enough, and the 1/4" output for the daisy-chaining is a plus, too. Since it's powered having the volume knob at the monitor is great for performers looking to tweak the volume of their individual monitors without having to stroll over to the mixer or ask someone else to do it. Not too heavy for a powered monitor, good looks for a floor-dweller, and the 12" speaker gives plenty of sound. They get loud quickly!

I ding them on quality because I find their amps are a bit noisy. They buzz. I have 4 of these monitors and some are noisy and some are quiet. Same is true for Kustom's powered PA; I have the 15" powered PAs on poles and one is noisy and the other is quiet. The monitors are also a little bit harsh and lacking in the bottom end at higher volumes.

Having said that, they appear to be solidly constructed. The corners are well protected and the steel grill over the drivers seems sufficient to protect them.

I'm really torn on the value. They are worth every penny at the sale price. I bought four at the lower sale price and went to buy a fifth today but now they are back at their higher standard price. I am definitely hesitating to drop the coin for them at that price.

I have no experience with any other floor monitors, therefore take this with a grain of salt. At the sale price Kustom's KPC12MP 12" powered monitors are very good monitors. At the full price, I'm not so sure and I would advise you to do your research against the comparables. They may still be the best value for the price.

We knew this was a monitor with limited features, but the price point was such that we could afford two for our band. 

Both monitors failed within ten minutes of use.  We returned them to Musician's Friend.

Working?  Probably a fair value for the money.  Not working?  No value.

I can't recommend this monitor because of the quality issues.  I can cheerfully recommend Musician's friend.  Their customer service through the process of authorizing return and replacing the Kustom monitors with a different brand was absulotely excellent.

XLR and 1/4 in Inputs and 1/4 inch outputs. Volume with control clean good sound output.  Works as either a speaker on a speaker stand or can be used as a monitor wedge.  Includes speaker stand socket. Hefty and well built.

Fit and finish is very good.  Sound is solid and crisp.  Low end is OK but probably due to the 12 inch speaker.  Not really a hit on the speaker just minor issue.  Works well as a PA or floor monitor speaker.

Excellent value for the money as a combo of features, flexibility, build quality and audio performance.

I am very happy with this purchase.  I now own two of these and they work great for my purpose for smaller venues.

I needed a floor monitor for our band and it is working great.

Members all like it.

Being amplified allows me to keep my stereo setup to my mains from my Gear One power mixer I bought here and use the monitor line out to the floor monitors amp.

Quality seems very good.  It came with no damages and everything is sturdy.

Great value.
