Battery powered with tons of tone. Take your music anywhere, and play for up to 8 hours! The Crate Taxi provides everything you need to perform when you're far from any source of electricity. With the newly developed injection molded enclosure, the TX30BE has improved bass response and is lighter and more transportable than ever before! A specially designed Crate 8 in. woofer and Piezo tweeter ensure clean, loud performance from a full-range of frequencies. The TX30BE has 2 channels (one 1/4 in. mic/line and one 1/4 in. instrument). The instrument channel includes a 1/4 in. input, gain boost, 3-band EQ, and level. The 15-watt TX15 has the same 8 in. & piezo speaker configuration with an XLR-1/4 in. combi jack on channel 1. The Taxis includes a wall charger and 12V adapter. These amps are for anyone who requires portable, credible tone.
As avid guitar players themselves, Crate engineers build the gear they want to use. And as crafters of tone, they're naturally good listeners, not only to the purity of sound, but also to the insight of their fellow musicians, whose immeasurable experience is a driving force behind every piece of Crate gear.

"These Taxi's Make The Whole World Your Stage"
Feature:
I like the double mike inputs, for both the quarter-inch plug and XLR. I like how long they hold a charge. I mean, they're not that complicated; they're basically powered speakers if you choose to look at them that way. That's why I use a Yamaha pre-amp with them and it works perfectly.
Value:
Absolutely. The price for these speakers is a steal.
Desirability:
I like the idea that I can make amplified music without power. That's amazing to me, makes the whole world a stage.
Sound:
I've used a pair of Taxi 15's for numerous outdoor gigs and have always found it to be reliable and very clear. I use a small mixer so I can get voice effects and more than one instrument input. I've played guitar and piano thru the speakers and they're very clear. I guess if you crank them to the top level they might have issues like just about any speaker, but I haven't had a single problem with these.
Ease of Use:
Everything's pretty intuitive about these Crates. Like I said, they're not that complicated. I use the Yamaha mixer with them and it just plugs in, simple as can be. So I can use them for singing through with two voices, plus have a guitar and piano hooked in, too. I've also used them for Ipod background music, just get an adaptor for the Ipod, or CD player, and run it into the speaker. Loud music anywhere!
Support:
I've never had to deal with them.
Overall:
The only thing that would make me replace the 15's is if I decided to go for the more powerful 50s. I simply don't need that much power for the uses that I have of this amp right now.

"Can't get much better than this."
Feature:
I like the dual inputs and the CD/mp3 inputs. I can sound real professional and be portable.
Quality:
I bought 2 of these a few years apart and I can't be happier.
Value:
Might be something out there cheaper, but the operative word is "Cheap". I feel you get what you pay for.
Desirability:
Many people love the portability and want one.
Sound:
This unit makes me sound great while playing accoustic guitar and singing ballads. I have tried some R&R with it and it sounds good but I am into the heady stuff. 15watts are fine for me, but the 50watt Limo would be the bomb.
Ease of Use:
Plug your stuff in and go on the road. Can't be any easier.
Support:
One of my amps shorted out and with the 5/2 warranty, it got fixed and I am back.
Overall:
I will only buy a Crate as their reputation and quality speaks for itself. And they stand behind their products. I've had my first TX-15 for 6 years and have just needed work on it.
