An Affordable Powered Speaker That Sounds Great!

Buying The Right Speaker For Your Purpose

Buying PA gear always a big venture, but understanding what you are buying for will help you save money in the long run. The speaker we are going to be looking at today is an excellent speaker - for what it is.

The speaker can be run as a main or monitor

And that is part of understanding PA gear. If you are making money on your performances, or if you are playing to big crowds of people, you do not want an entry level speaker (which this PowerWerks is). 

But, if you are playing or presenting to smaller crowds (such as small churches just getting off the ground or mobile ministries), or if your kid needs a speaker for his garage band and you are on a limited budget, this may be just the speaker for you!

PowerWerks PA used to be Kustom - this 15" speaker has a nice full sound, but only pushes about a peak of 200 watts internal power, so while it does sound good at lower volume levels, it would not be what you would want to look at if you were anticipating 200 - 300 person crowds.

This speaker is in the upright 'Main' position - it also has speaker mounts which allow you to mount it on a speaker stand

The volume levels it can attain though are good for garage bands and small business or worship applications. These are also great speakers to use as an acoustic guitar amp, the 15" woofer and the true horn give a great sound to any acoustic electric guitar!

For an inexpensive speaker it does have some very nice features, and it includes two inputs, both a line level 1/4" input and an XLR mic input. This makes it perfect for mobile applications where you just need a microphone and an input to play some music from your phone or computer.

One of the neat things about this speaker is the fact that it has a link out for each input. This gives you some flexibility in how you route signals.

For instance, if you are using the speaker as a stage monitor it allows you to plug your mic directly into the speaker then send it on to the mixing board, and allows you to plug a 1/4" so that you can be fed the rest of the monitor mix. that way, you can adjust your own voice thin the speaker, and then adjust the rest of the monitor mix so you can get a better mix on stage without relying on whether the sound guy is paying attention when you need a bit more of your vocals in the monitor!

These PowerWerks monitors can do a great job as monitors or mains if you are seeking a budget conscious speaker for small crowds and small areas, or as a stage monitor to a band that has normal stage volume levels.
