Great sounding and very affordable.
The Kustom KPC10MP is a 50-watt powered monitor speaker with an angled wedge design, a 10' Kustom-built loudspeaker and a piezo HF driver. It is tuned to deliver rich, balanced tonality while accurately reproducing a wide variety of audio content.
The Kustom KPC10MP powered monitor speaker provides balanced XLR and TRS 1/4" (balanced/unbalanced) input jacks. These may be used to connect a wide variety of line level devices such as non-powered mixers, preamps, keyboards, drum machines, and other audio devices including music players such as iPods and CD players. A volume control adjusts the overall level of the Kustom powered speaker.
A TRS 1/4" line out jack may be used to daisy chain 2 or more KPC speakers for a wider dispersion of sound. For example, if a non-powered audio mixer has been connected to the Kustom KPC speaker's input, the line out of this first speaker may be connected to a second speaker's input. This is a daisy chain and it often requires shorter cable hookup lengths versus connecting the second speaker directly to the audio mixer.
In addition to being used as a powered floor monitor, a built-in polemount socket enables you to elevate the Kustom KPC10MP monitor for use as a powered PA speaker.

Got the KPC10MP on a stupid deal, and was absolutely shocked at the value. Ran mics, keys, even a preamped guitar through a mixer and into this little baby and it really has a nice sound - I eq'd it with the board, but I don't remember it being all that middy as another reviewer said, of course that could have to do with the room. I'd say it's a nice monitor or small PA, and it looks good enough to use in a professional setting. 8 out of 10 because the price has gone up.
Versatile in that it has three different floor positions and two inputs
Seems to be fairly well built. Certainly not buzzy or poorly fit together like some things I've used.
I got it on a stupid deal, so it seems pricey at rack rate.

Speaker cut out.
Unit powered on, but speaker/sound cut out upon every use. Sound was also very quiet before cutting out. Maybe I was just unfortunate enough to get a bad one. Purchased on sale....Read complete review

Comments about Kustom PA KPC10MP 10" Powered Monitor Speaker:
At the original list price I never would have purchased this product but at the current price it's a good value. It serves multiple functions...as a floor wedge monitor or on a stick for a mini system in a small club or coffeehouse. I now own two but I've replaced the HF drivers and crossovers with better quality components and the frequency response is MUCH improved. I use them for acoustic guitar, vocals and back tracks on an iPAD.

Comments about Kustom PA KPC10MP 10" Powered Monitor Speaker:
We have a small 5pc. Acoustic group, we play Bluegrass, Irish, Swing & Jazz. Play small Bars & Clubs. We needed to hear over the din of filled room. Lead singers were ecstatic and really helped entire band! Convenient balanced XLR inputs and the outputs for daisy chaining. The self-powered monitors saved on rack space. I used twice so far. Fine sound, portable and on budget!

Comments about Kustom PA KPC10MP 10" Powered Monitor Speaker:
These monitors are great. We bought them at a low price and that was an awesome deal. It is for our church and we have 4 monitors, placed staggered between each singer/musician. They are small enough to maneuver easily, sound great, and small enough to direct away from mics.

Comments about Kustom PA KPC10MP 10" Powered Monitor Speaker:
This is a great value and the 50 Watt AB amp is enough for a personal monitor or part of a daisy chain setup for a small club gig. It's compact and the wedge design allows 2 different angles as a floor monitor. Only one down side...I think its muddy and needs more HF. I took out the stock speakers and upgraded the 10" with an Emminence and a bullet tweeter and it sounds so much better. Think about it...how good could the stock speakers be when the whole thing is so inexpensive. It's a good value.
Comments about Kustom PA KPC10MP 10" Powered Monitor Speaker:
Awsome little monitor. Just one front and center was plenty. Used it for two gigs we played last weekend. Indoors and outdoors, sounded great and cut through. even the drummer claimed he could hear the vocals for once.
Comments about Kustom PA KPC10MP 10" Powered Monitor Speaker:
Overall it is definately worth the money.........
Good Value. Doesn't distort as quickly as I thought it would. I'm using it as a vocal monitor and so far I like it. Crisp and clean if you don't push it too hard. Worth the money!
Comments about Kustom PA KPC10MP 10" Powered Monitor Speaker:
I give this puppy an overall 8! It's a work horse little floor monitor that sounds great at moderate levels and certainly does the job.
Overall this little monitor does the job. Of course it is not a brand name, but Kustom has been around since I was listening to bands back in the 60's and they always had some decent equipment. Of course they weren't top shelf, but always reasonably priced with decent workmanship to the item.
Nothing fancy, but built like a rock! The sound is quite pleasing. Of course it is smaller, so blasting this would not be recommended. But for small basement spaces for live sound, it is great!
You won't find a better deal!
Comments about Kustom PA KPC10MP 10" Powered Monitor Speaker:
Quite pleased at this time.We use this as a floor monitor for our 4 pc band. We are accoustic but plugged into a PA. I was afraid that it would not have enough power but after playing out in 2 different bars the 50 watts is plenty. I may get another one and daisy chain them.
Simple and with the ability to daisy chain.
We have used it twice. Time will tell if it will last. Seems to be well made.
Got lucky and caught it on sale.
