«  SMX15 »

I tested the bugs during a dozen concert with an artist applying many, many levels.
For once I have tested many models, Meyer, L Acoustics, Adamson, I am a regular at Max 15 d & b.
Well then, the box is still well thought out, full of possible angles to fit a lot of situations, with a simple but effective, the only question being, in time, is what will always hold both taken with the magnets, is that the sling will not break? Anyway, the system is simple and efficient, very effective.
Then the sound, and there still very big surprise, it works really well. Well, it does not compare to other brands, each color, in short, it really works, there's the bottom can be a bit much for voice, but this is not serious (pun ...), just drop the amplification afferent and voila. Level high, it does not lack, it goes up, depending on the microphone (in my case a Beta 87A) There's some very high frequencies to bury. For the rest of the eq, nothing extraordinary, a few tips here and there, but no aberration, the chamber is still very balanced. What comes first is still feeling the pressure very nice ...
After testing in wedge, I sides tried, I was more than skeptical, in the coax side, it's still not what is best, but there, for once, it works, then, obviously, if the opening is too large, that's right, but on a platter of a dozen meters wide, it works really well. Losing ground effect, you lose the slight surplus for low voice, suddenly the eq is even simpler.
So here, bravo APG, it's nice for a brand that is often criticized, the company tells us they can do some very good products that can compete with carefree competitors brought to the level of reference.
In summary, the SMX 15 is a powerful comeback, balanced, with a big presence there that allows him to perform in return musicians, but easily modifiable to be very powerful in voice and usable sides on trays too large. The only small problem from the size of the box which can be annoying on small plates or of special events where the visual is more important than sound quality ...
