Value For Money :
Excellent
I was looking for a speaker Compact, lightweight with a clean sound (funk and jazz-funk) and defined in the medium.
After testing a lot of cab (warwick, markbass, ampeg (too greasy, this creature), I opted for
this evil machine.
I use it with a Markbass head and all done very very well together.
20 kg. is more than models with Epifani UL but then for what price difference!
THE sound is very close, so for 3 or 4 kg and less, 100 W more, we go out 400 or 500 euros more, that's all!
I use the gear together (coffee, small / medium sized room (150personnes) and that's enough.
At home, low level, it's perfect, good treble-bass balance, no need to push (well, with a good compressor
as we find them easily now, there really is no problem).
Speakon input to focus on the jack-jack, of course.
Adjustable tweeter avoid knock out the ears at high volume.
Simple, practical, lightweight and efficient.
SOUNDS
The craft is fairly neutral, it renders perfectly the grain of the instrument (a Musicman Stingray 4 (1991) and an electro-acoustic fretless)
and the sound is ... DEADLY! It's crazy that such a small craft scale as serious. It is even lower bass
on the head begin to appear although the medium and there, once equilibrium found is perfect.
To dub the sound in a sound system is great so what comes out is clean, warm and super dynamic.
Dynamic hallucinating.
You just make sure to move away a little of the beast (little sound projection side, cons by a lot in front).
be placed 2m in front and is perfect as a concert back in front!
That's the only thing that bothered me at first I did not feel the fishing out of my cabinet (and I forced on my strings
even if I destroy the fingers). In fact, it is just a stand in front and it's all good. Ideal for placing the machine
behind the lumberjack on drums (the groove story he feels and knows which commands, dammit!)
and recovered to the groove ...
the beautiful stuff, well built and cash. The bass is so perfectly rendered, without flinching.
The weight is really reasonable (20kg). I who always hung out bastos of 35kg, it changes me (my physio told me thank you).
OVERALL OPINION
I've had 8mois. No technical problem or trouble stroke unit. make sure to provide the input dynamic
(Watch too much compression or limiting that hamper the missile and did not make it out the best in itself).
I tried MarkBass (although not so warm), Warwick (hmmm. ..) ampeg (too much butter in the sound), Fender (hmmm. ..)
Trace Elliott (not good for me, lack of thickness ...)). and I finally chose the Epifani.
Very good value for money (bought less than 600 €).
I do it again this election even if I look towards the Epifani 4x10 in for even more presence ...
and then coupling with a 12 'but this is really to quibble. PAs need all that most of the time and
it lacks a bit of volume for larger rooms -> hop! a stroke DI or transplanted in the PA
and nobody talks about more ...
Really well built stuff.
