I purchased this system for my small cowboy church. I set it up with the two main 15" speakers 40' apart and added 2 10" monitor speakers between them at 8' apart. I placed the Amp at the rear of the room 55' back to a photo platform. The room is wood walls, and corrugated tin overhead. Not the best environment for aquatics', but this system seems to handle it very well. (Maybe a little help from above there too). The sound is clear thru the speakers no matter if we have singers or ministers at the microphones. I am very pleased with the system and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great PA system.

Not bad for entry level, but just quit one day after about a years use while using to record a live demo. Powered up, LED were tripping and registering instrument signal, but no output. Emailed Phonic support x3 which is your only communication option and never got a reply. Buyer beware.

Tweeter horn and one TSR input did not work . Rather than send everything back , I opened the speaker up and found a connector for the Horn disconnected, easy fix! Disassembled the mixer head and found bad connection on the TSR plug, second easy fix!
For the money, this is a great system , make sure you test all functions when the unit arrives. Again, for the amount of shipping these units go thru it is amazing that they make it to us customers with such little issues!

This package exceeded my expectations.I picked this package up for my home studio. I've been playing heavy rock and roll for over 20 years and have played through several PA systems. The 15's are the right choice for the monitor cabs for sure. Great vocal tone. Nice effect on the PA. Just added a little chorus and reverb and the vocals sound amazing. I have 4 vocal mics running through it on the lowest power save mode and the vocals are ringing through, even with our ridiculous hard hitting Tommy Lee style drummer and loud crunching guitarist. This is great for practice and can surely hang at a small venue. You can add 2 addl monitors up if need be and slave it into a larger PA for large shows and use this for stage monitors (up to 4) and it will surely hang. This PA is worth 4x the $ I spent. Excellent deal, excellent sound, and great service with Musicans Friend. If you want a great vocal PA that can hang and sound great with any band behind you...pick this bad boy up!

We have owned this PA system for approximately 3 months. We are a four piece band but do not play out. That does not mean we do not get loud. Upon receiving this PA it took a little bit of work to get used to all controls as I feel the booklet that came along with it should have had more information. The pros this system are as follows. It is loud enough for what we needed for, and once we learned how to use the effects that was also a plus.

Now for the cons.
The wire that they send for the speakers is inferior. The plug-in for speaker cable at the speakers is also inferior as it is made out of plastic. I was moving a speaker and unfortunately had my foot on the cable and when I went to lift the speaker because my foot was on the cable the Jack on the speaker itself cracked. Normally I've seen these made out of metal and I would not have had this problem had been made out of metal. However this is a small price to pay for system priced at such a reasonable price.
The effects seem to take a little bit of time to catch up to the change from one number to the next. So be patient when checking out the effects. Another con is that I am having a trouble with using the seven band equalizer and not getting feedback. But again I am not in a very very large room but yet one that I would assume is big enough not to have feedback.

All in all I believe that it is adequate for what we needed and intended to do. I do not believe that it could handle a large venue or perhaps even a midsize bar. However so far we are happy and time will tell just what kind of the deal we got.

This PA sounded great and very powerful for the price. I got the extended warranty, to protect it. What a joke. I really want to write a review on the ADH Warranty. So people dont waste their time and money.

We jam once a week and after about six months, the jack input on one of the speakers popped out. I contacted ADH and they were going to send me a return postage for the speaker. In return they were going to give me about half of what it would cost to replace the speaker. The return postage never arrived though, so I ended up soldering the speaker and that worked out ok.

Then around the one year mark the PA started cutting out after 20 minutes of use. So we had to keep turning it off and waiting awile to use it again and then try it again for another 20 minutes or so. After some research seems this is a common problem with the PA. It quickly got to the point where it wasn't worth using at all and another band member got a cheap PA head to use, and we set the Phonic aside.

I decided after awile that since the Phinic sounded better and I did have this ADH warranty to try again to use the warranty. I called, and they were very nice over the phone and they agreed to fix it for me. They were supposed to send me a return shipping label, and in the meantime they gave me a confirmation code and phone number to call the next day to be sure the work order was in with the repair place. Satisfied I agreed to take the phone survey at which point I gave a 5 star review. Called the repair place the next day as instructed and was pleased that the work order was in. They said the whole process would be like a week and I would have my PA head back soon.

But the shipping label never came. I waited a few weeks and called back. Long story short they were nice again and were to resend the shipping label. This time through email as well as regular mail. I told then they were nice but declined the survey this time as I still was only half way there without the shipping label.

Again it never came. I had baby in the meantime so afew weeks went by again before I would call a third time. Same deal they said they would send shipping label both email and snail mail. Neither ever came.

I dont know the situation here but there is definately a problem with this ADH Warranty. I would run away from the ADH Warranty on any purchase, and although this is a great souding PA for the price, I would run away from it as well due to the common issues that many including myself have had.

A great value for the money. Plenty of power and sound quality for the practice room and for gigs.Also MF is easier to deal with than some of the other on line companies.I'll be back as other needs develop.

Are you kidding me! This is a fantastic deal! The on board effects aren't that great, but who cares. This system is wonderful and for the money, no way to beat it.

Get better quality stuff. This doesn't last long.
This system is very limited in features. It is for REHERSALS ONLY! It should only be used for speech reinforcement. Effects are OK. No inserts so no way to change the sound. EQ is not the best but not terrible. The front of knobs fall off.
Once again, not the best sounding board, or speakers. Go for higher quality stuff. This is not powerful enough for a band!
You get what you pay for!
