"Great Drum and all purpose Monitor"

I purchased this unit mostly as a monitor for my Alesis DM8 Pro Kit. The Alesis drum monitor just did not have the guts to get a good groove going. Having experienced the hardiness and performance of Peavey equipment, I thought I would give this a try. Once I had it set up and equalized, it blew me away!
Sound
Great bottom end and screeching highs. The sound spectrum is excellent. As a drum monitor it works excellent. As a general PA cabinet it's not bad either!
Features
The built in amp meant I did not need another external amp or powered mixer. I just connect the drums, mic and MP3 to the mixer, mixer to the monitor and it's all good! This unit also allows chaining to another like monitor. I am considering adding a second as a backup for my mains if ever needed. The pole mount also came in really handy. The carpeting cover looks great in the studio, I have not had experience with this covering while on the road.
Ease of Use
Took about 10 minutes of fine tuning the EQ and sound level to get the sound I wanted. I think it's ease of use is about typical of any other amplified cab.
Quality
This monitor is a tank! (And almost as heavy!) Solid, no rattles. Should stand up to years of use. I take good care of my equipment and don't thrash it. The fact that it has an amplifier built in should mean a little added caution when lugging it around. Always treat electronics with care!
Value
I think it is well worth the price, not only as a drum monitor but it works nicely as a main too!
Manufacturer Support
No contact - never needed with any of my Peavey gear.
The Wow Factor
All Peavey gear looks great. The name has always been associated with quality, so seeing it relays that I do not fly on the cheap! You see the Peavey logo as it replies "Class!"
