Schertler Side

When the Schertler Side arrived and I plugged it in my piezo rig, which consists of a Boss AD-8. First of all, I noticed the extremely clean sound. 20-20k, clean, balanced and quiet. Then I noticed how incredibly loud this speaker can get. So much so that it overpowered my tube amp, which was definitely a first. No matter how I eq'd the AD-8, the speaker delivered and it never went into clipping. Even with the volume on the speaker and my pre-amp dimmed, it seemed as though the speaker never broke a sweat. At one point I was seeking more cut than my pre-amp could deliver, so I switched the K10 eq into "vocal" and holy smokes that was exactly what the doctor ordered.

I've had some past experience with the JBL's first gen EON and the first gen Mackie SRM450 and while those were great speakers, this just blows them away. This speaker is smaller, lighter, more powerful and better sounding; very smooth from bottom to top. And there are more ins and outs and overall control on this speaker than you could ever need. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with this purchase. I suggest you given the Schertler Side a shot, its probably a name you haven’t heard before but they offer great support and a 2 year warranty outside of the original store warranty that you get. You will love the sound and the compact feature of its design. With the handle on the side and its weight is pretty light you can take it anywhere with you. Its tough as well, so don’t worry about if you drop it or bang it on something. It can handle what every task you throw at it. I purchased mine used, an Schertler still offered me great support an extended the warranty for me too! Great product and company.
