Manufacturer's Description for Tascam VLS21 Compact Monitoring System with Subwoofer

The TASCAM VL-S21 is an affordable monitoring system for home recording and practicing. This self-powered satellite system provides 5W per channel to the desktop speakers and 15W to the ported sub. The desktop speakers are also remarkably thin, allowing these stylish speakers to be used at home or in the studio.

The left and right speakers use NXT technology drivers for full-range sound in a thin driver package. This approach improves on the traditional woofer and tweeter design by eliminating the phase cancellation that occurs when using multiple drivers and crossovers. NXT technology drivers provide wider dispersion, more uniform loudness and reduced room interaction than competing technologies. A single NXT driver covers a wider range than traditional drivers, reducing the phase distortion caused by using multiple drivers and crossovers.

Unlike multimedia speakers designed for listening to MP3s and video games, the VL-S21 was designed with a flat frequency response for critical listening and mixing. They're ideal for home recording studios, practicing with our CD Trainers, or monitoring desktop and laptop computer recording systems. Created for musicians looking for an affordable speaker system that doesn't take up a lot of desk space, the VL-S21 is an excellent entry-level monitoring solution.

"sound quality/price ratio : very good"

Sound: OK, these things are not "real" monitors and are certainly not good enough for any serious monitoring duties but ... hey... we are taking about $99.95 here... And compared to any $100 speakers (the amp is included here..) I believe you'll have a hard time finding something better. Sound is fairly accurate, nothing exaggerated, mids are not bad at all. The sub is doing a good job but wont do much below 50-60 Hz.. Feature: Well, again, these are just plain speakers for "studio monitoring", not your average PC speakers so there is no headphone jack and no volume knob, just like many "real" (read more, way more expensive) studio monitors. Of course, it would be nice to have them if you are using it as PC speakers... There is a power button though :-\. Ease of Use: Since they are simple as they can get (assuming that pressing the power button is "simple") they are quite easy to use : plug the power cable, plug the input RCA cables and press the power button AFTER you've turned your source down. Quality: Everything seems well designed and assembled (again, for $99.95...). Value: At this price point, I will buy the VL-S21 over any PC speakers, I use them for music, movies, games ... They beat Altec Lansing, Creative and anything else I've owned or tried. Manufacturer Support: never used The Wow Factor: Yes, I will buy another "pair" (+sub) if I need affordable speakers. Overall: Im very pleased with what I've got for what I've paid. I think the sound quality/price ratio is hard to beat. I recommend it over any PC speakers for listening music from your computer, CD player, TV set or mp3 player .... as long as you can live with the fact that there is no headphone jack/volume/eq ...

Style of Music: Almost anything

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Do Not Buy. Please read my review."

Sound: Got this free for buying the TASCAM 2488 so review is very honest. The thinline speakers are very heavy midrange driven, no high frequency quality at all. I used it for monitoring mixes on my Tascam 2488 and will not/cannot use them due to poor sound quality. The subwoofer does sound okay but it quits working after 5 min of use. (currently in for free repair). I will only use it for cosmetic looks in my home studio. Feature: Might be better if it had tone control built in. Quality: As mentioned, the subwoofer quits working after 5 min. May only be a fluke on mine but it was free. Value: There are other subwoofers with satelite speakers that sound much better, like my Altec lancing 95 watt 5 satelite speakers. Manufacturer Support: Took it to local Tascam authorized repair shop and they currently have it. No problems turning it in without contacting TASCAM. The Wow Factor: The worst for the money but great as I will use it for only cosmetic looks in my home studio. Overall: If the midrange was cut quite a bit and high frequencies noticable then this would make a good set of monitors. It does not meet standards for home studio monitoring recordings.

Style of Music: 50's, 50's, 70's music
