Review: Great speakers. - I like how quickly and quietly it pairs with my phone. No “connect to iPhone” or weird beep. It just illuminates green when connected and white when not. Also, the rca still gets sound from the pc when connected to Bluetooth. Sound quality is as expected. Super crisp and clean sound. Definitely need a sub if you like base. I probably would have better off with the 4” to save space had I known that a sub would be mandatory. I used the left channel speaker output for connecting the sub.
Review: Impressive sound in a small package - When I was in school my friend was way into Mackie products. They had to have Mackie mixers, wanted nothing more than Mackie PA speakers, and nothing else would suffice. I on the other hand didn't care to much as long as things worked. Yamaha became my go to, and I have a really nice pair or JBL monitor speakers. Eventually this friend fell in love with Yamaha products and other brands. For the longest time though because of all the hype this person built around Mackie, I decided to ignore it, thought it was overpriced and not necessary, at least for my application. Recently I fixed up my record player (Yamaha from 1979) that needed some parts. Among those parts were speakers. I don't have a receiver, let alone one that has a record preamp, so I got that, and wanted some active speakers. These fit the bill due to their small size, connection options, and the single volume control on the speaker. I also know it is quality thanks to that friend. I will say my first impression was quite surprised. They do sound great for the application I am using them for. The bass is nice but not too boomy, and the highs are not so ear shattering loud. I am not an audiophile at all, but I can appreciate good audio products and for the price I paid, these exceeded my expectations. I think these would work well for small spaces that needs decent monitor speakers, or even for my application to listen to records, or other media devices. I have not encountered any "hiss" from them but I am also not sitting right in front of them. When I listen to anything I am sitting in a chair probably 6 or 7 feet away relaxing. By the way, I am still friends with that person. I showed that person the speakers, and the response was "I thought I would never see the day..."

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are they available in solid black? I like the speaker, but really hate the green. The neon green is a total deal-breaker.**
A: They are not available in black. But if it's the green you do not like just get a liquid black paint marker and paint it. They are great monitors and they can get loud.

**Q: How can i get rid of this hiss? i have these monitors connected via rca-1/4 through a 6 channel mixer. the hiss comes and goes but it’s loud.**
A: Same happened to me the hisss is too loud. No way to get rid of it, i returned immediately.

**Q: Do these have the switch that malfunctions after one year and causes the speakers to catch on fire? Or did they fix that problem?**
A: The speakers don’t have this problem.

**Q: Has anyone used thes with electronic drums?**
A: Don’t do it if you’re thinking of playing live with them .  If you’re playing back something you’ve recorded then ok.  You would need to compress the drums and have a subwoofer to get it close to useable live.  Use headphones or a pa speaker made for live instruments.
