Bought this for setting up in our music room to connect all our gear in the simplest way possible, but also use it for small gigs. Great portability and pretty solid, but sound could be way louder! Biggest gripe is that even if the sound isn't loud, there's no easy way to connect it to additional sound outputs like a bigger PA.

I love the size, the way the speakers connect to the amplifier and the cost wasn't bad.

Ich habe leider ein defektes Gerät bekommen, was sich gar nicht einschalten lässt. Einen Ersatz gibt es nur für 550 € mehr.Wer ist dafür zuständig es zu reparieren?

We used this system for an outdoor wedding with 120+ people in attendance. The sound of the mics and the music were both clear and had plenty of power for all to enjoy. We added a passive subwoofer to round out the sound with low end bass and a couple of portable speaker stands to keep the speakers elevated. I highly recommend this system!!

WHY is this being listed as available to be sold in the UK when it does not work/incompatible with UK plug socket? It will simply blow!THIS ITEM SHOULD NOT BE SOLD TO THOSE LIVING IN THE UK. The power lead is incompatible (a US kettle lead/plug). After speaking with the manufacturer and technical team they advised that if you try to plug this in in the UK it will blow!!! Amazon, you need to remove from selling in UK

This is a great all in one product, I really dig the sound quality. Honestly this sounds as good as my Sennheiser headphones that use a decent DAC.Disadvantages:1) Not as loud or full as a bigger PA speaker.2) Not a wireless portable speaker.3) Needs a powered subwoofer to really kick more expensive systems.Advantages:1) Decent mixing options on 8 ch: mono, stereo and Bluetooth.2) Great volume for an 8 inch driver. 121 db is the same as the tops of an L1 line array.3) decent bass frequency for an 8 inch (still prefer with sub).4) Has a switching sub crossover so basically if you plug an active (powered) sub into it, it won't play the lows through the main driver and the mids sounds better. A 300w sub basically makes this speaker like a full L1 system for a decent amount less money.5) Decent audio quality.6) speakers are extremely light so putting them on stands is easy.7) Phantom power and high z for guitar (not all channels, also with a guitar you should mic up the guitar or amp box of it is electric as this is a flat amp and guitar doesn't sound as good as a git amp).

Received and installed in our medium sized Church yesterday. Sound level is pretty high and quality is amazing. May be a little more mic lines [6 in place of 4] may have been better but still it has almost everything required in a PA System and basically do not need anything else with it [may be additional mixture may be installed to get additional mic lines] otherwise its just about perfect and quite powerful peace of equipment and is able to handle everything from bass, treble and mids very well. Great job JBL for such equipment and amazon for providing great price and support [MRP on box is around 1.10 Lac and costed me around 43k after additional card discount]. Loving and enjoying it..if you can add tripod stands and good mics with it then it becomes a complete and balanced solution. [not small by any means]..

Bought this for Karaoke and the sound is amazing. Everything you need in 1 set + its portable too! A bit heavy but I'm a strong man!

Loved the carrying case feel of it (it is heavy, but at least it is like a suitcase), music input options, 4 mic capacity. Comes with a mic with an on/off switch. Cords are long. All packs into the speaker system. Did have to buy stands for the speakers, which fit nicely onto stands, and a third one for the amplifier would be good so all is high and easy to work with.

My wife ordered this for her school musical. First night works fine. We turn the switch off. Come back for night 2. About 50 of the 150 people are already getting seated. It’s 40 minutes until musical start. Flip the switch. Nothing. We try plugs. We try new cords. We look to see if there is an accessible fuse (there isn’t)Luckily an audience member sees us panicking and speeds home to get us a powered speaker and we find a mixing board. Music and mics get working 5 minutes before musical start.No thanks to this jbl crap. So disappointed. It worked for a whole night. (Medium volume)

For its size, this system offers great sound and power. Very portable, the storage space for the cables is a plus. The mixing board has its limitations, is pretty basic, however, does what is supposed to do.The bluetooth is great and easy to set up. Sounds great indoors and outdoors.Make no mistake, this is no 15 inch; - 1000w loud speaker, and to get the most out of this system you need a subwoofer. I paired it with a Bose F1 sub, and have no complaints: it's loud and clear. I would guess this is perfect for events up to 50 maybe 75 people.Reliability... I guess is too early to tell.Update.... issues with the locking system (the speakers don't stay together all the time) however... an additional strap/bungee cord could fix the problem.Update 04-15-2020 - Upgrade from 4 to 5 star "minus" system still works well, great quality.Update 04-25-2022 - system still works greatUpdate 07-01-2023 - I use a 12" Alto sub (approximately 300w) and it still works fantastic. The speakers took a fall or two since I bought them. Never had any issues.Update 04-03-2024 - light usage, and still works. When compared to other systems, it seems like the bass output towards the subwoofer is somewhat on the weaker side...However, after about 6 years it still works and sounds good.
