Samson Technologies EXL250

For $500 this portable PA system is working great. I bought it for a DJ gig in a fairly large restaurant space, and I never had to go above 60% on the master volume. Clear as a bell, no giant booming bass, but bass responsive is fine. I'll get a subwoofer later to add to the system. Ipod dock is a major plus! console has a really small footprint. Also used with live band (power trio) and worked great! The sound from this PA blew me away. Crystal clear vocals, deep, resonating guitar, and very little ambient noise. Ingenious design that allows the two speakers to be hooked together and the mixer and cables to fit right into the back of the cabinets for ease of carrying. Perfect setup for singer songwriters wanting to start live gigging, and plenty of punch for full band as well.



Plenty of power for 1-3 people as long as your style isn't deafening noise. The emphasis on this system is superb clarity and it does that with room to spare. Incredibly portable and I really like the fact you can keep the amp head IN the speaker while using. reduces clutter & improves stage space. Bu there is the lack of 3 band eq (it has 2) and the reverb sounds a little funky if turned up too much. Used judiciously, the reverb does enhance the sound considerably. A perfect weight for a aging wanna-be rock star. If your emphasis is on portability and QUALITY of sound I highly recommend this little pa.

Overall, The sound quality was great. The ease of set-up was wonderful. Just wish I could put the mixer in the back of the speaker with an iPod 'attached'. Other than that, this system is great and has paid for itself, twice! Great sound reasonable price! Buy It
