Anyone try it in a concert? I was wondering if anyone has tried it in a concert setting? If so, does the quality look and sound good?

I tried it at a concert and the video looks good, but the sound volume decreases very much as soon as the low bass notes come in. I guess you could edit it afterwards and make it better. It does pick up everything very well when there's no bass, even when the audience is cheering or even when someone in the audience yells something. Here's a little video I made to demonstrate the quality. (Note: youtube compressed the video, but the sound is like the original video.)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO0hDh8rZkg

It depends on the gig; I've used it live for small clubs (less than 30 people, smallish room) and it works great. It gets surprisingly loud! For a bigger show you would probably be mic'd anyway, at least in my area so it would be fine for that as well. These days, if you show up with a larger amp you probably won't be able to turn it up enough to work the amp at all and it won't sound good anyway.

The bass sounds great, although I do have to say that I don't use the stock music app on my phone. I use another music app from the Play Store called Poweramp, which allows me to change the bass settings & the EQ!. But honestly it has a great sound, even with the stock android music player. I'm satisfied with them.

I am also a hearing aid user and I really miss live music. I still go to shows but using HAs really distorts the loud music and listening without looses part of the music even if overall it is loud enough. I am looking for a headphone amp with a graphic equalizer and a stereo microphone for the amp input. If folks have any suggestions, I hope they will post them.

I think the sound quality is good. It's not the most high end system but certainly has good volume and decent quality. I've seen other reviews stating that the sound was not good, but that has not been our experience with this system. I think you will be happy with it.

Hi Johanna I have not performed out with it so I probably don't have a good answer for you. I would say it can push some volume and is very feedback resistant I would not be scared to play a med sized bar gig with it although I do straight acoustic stuff. It is very clear and the reverbs add a bit of ambiance although they are not the greatest. I like the fact that you can use it and not need a monitor. Hope this helps some JK

Believe me, it plays plenty loud without distortion. Make sure you properly place it in the room and the bass response will be fine.

Yeah it has a very good sound... I use this amplifier with a piano and you just need to equalize very good LOW, MID and HIGH depending on the type of instrument you are reproducing. Of course it is small, dont think that you are going to play in a concert with a lot of people, its more like just for you and practice with your band or monitor yourself...

I've only used it once for an acoustic performance. It was indoors and we used the Zoom H4N and the sound turned out beautiful and crisp. I would recommend it.

Hi Paige, We are also using this for a church group but are not experiencing distortion. We occasionally experience some hissing and popping, which is related to batteries beginning to go bad; usually they last about a month with 2-3 hours per week of use. Also, line of sight helps between the mics and the receiver antennas. On stage is preferrable, if the receiver is in the back of the house try to get it up high; human bodies are mostly water and absorb radio signals better than allowing them to pass through. This would be more of a hiss/pop issue, as well, not really distortion. As for the distortion, are you using the "mix" output (XLR) or the four individual 1/4" connectors for output? Both are at line level (+4dB), not mic level (-10dB). If you're using the XLR mix output, make sure the input on your sound board is set to line level, if you can make that adjustment; if not, a quick trip to a live sound store (music or stage) can get you a 20dB XLR pad to reduce the level. In a pinch, you can try turning the knobs on the front of the unit to about half-way and see if that reduces the distortion. If you're using the four separate 1/4" outputs, same applies-they're line level outputs, your sound board should have a switch to select +4/-10, set it to +4; if not, four 20dB 1/4" pads should do the trick. Hope something in this post helps. :-)

Sound is great! The volume loudness is dependant on the volume the music on your player has been recorded In. I have some songs that play loud and others on the low side yet sound quality is always good.

Iv found you can get the bass pretty high well low :p and iv had them extremely high volume wile testing tho i leave it in matrix mode due to it sounds clearer and more even wile still getting the surround sound effect.

Not for me. In fact I returned mine. The sound kept going in and out for no reason, and since it was brand new - I was scared that one day I wouldn't have any sound at all. I returned it while there was still a 'return policy' available.

It is very loud and I find the sound quality for such a small speaker to be very good. You can also adjust the volume from your device so it goes even louder. I listen to music with a lot of bass and it sounds really good using this speaker.

I haven't tried it in that type of setting. It is great for intimate settings but even then, it has a tendency to pick up everything...cars driving by etc. My guess is that if used at a rock concert, it will grab all the ambient noise from the crowd along with the music.

I play it through my guitar amp. The chord is damn flimsy so be careful! Sound is good, if you can use a preamp or sound processor with reverb it helps a ton. A direct box should work just fine. It's way easier and sounds better than micing it IMHO.If you push the levels of your PA system you may run into feedback issues. Run a dress rehearsal and find the best spots on stage that don't feedback. Again that chord is very flimsy, one trip and it's game over. Have a backup plan like a microphone just in case.

I put it through a small (6" speaker) Peavy amp, tweaked it a little and it sound's great! Put it through a good PA it will blow people away!
