Feature:
It doesn't have phantom power, so you'll need a dynamic mic and not a condensor (I don't know of any that do. Our $300 plus mic stand monitors don't have phantom and neither do our EV and Mackie powered speakers in the $700 range). Numerous inputs are available so you won't have to run for adaptors all the time.

Quality:
This thing is quality throughout. No cheap, scrathy knobs. Hard grille protecting speakers. Rubber corners.

Value:
Would trade our $300 plus speakers for these if I could.

Sound:
Our church owns 2 of the "other brand" mike stand monitors. They cost over $300 each and the sound is what you'd expect from a 4" speaker with no tweeter - all honky midrange. The CM30 easily beats the sound, has some bass and a nice clean treble, and cost so much less. The sound is so good that I'm ordering more for our mic stand monitors and the more expensive ones will be used for less critical applications. We use a CM30 on our video projector cart and it has easily covered some very large rooms.

Ease of Use:
Plug it in. Turn it on. Voila!

Support:
The best support is the one you never need. We own 3 Roland keyboard amps and we've never called about "how to" or "fix this" or whatever. It's easy to use and none have given a second of trouble.

Overall:
I wondered why someone couldn't make a decent sounding portable speaker. Now Roland has filled a niche that was desperately needed.

Feature:
Everything you need including the XLR for a ready made PA in a pinch. I'll try my Shure condensor mic with a pre-amp this weekend, just for the fun of it. Not expecting a great sound but I'm thinking I'll be surprised again.

Quality:
Seems to be very well made and sturdy. The rubber feet make for a good steady foot print when on the ground.

Value:
Fair price for this much product.

Desirability:
Everyone was jealous of my own monitor! I didn't need to woory about the sound technician "taking care of me" with my monitor. . . I was my own tech!! I'll never be on stage without this monitor again!!

Sound:
I just bought the Cm-30 for a gig and was really surprised at the great sound from the small package. It was the first time I can remember actually hearing myself when I play a B3 or background pad. Floor monitors just can't cut through the stage sound on these types of instruments, but the little guy lifted up to chest height on a mic stand was potent! I had to turn down a few clicks, amazing!

Ease of Use:
Didn't even have time to try it before going on stage. Took two minutes to hook up and dial in, then just great sound!

Support:
Great Roland support

Overall:
Very satisfied. Would buy again in a heartbeat. It's very rare to be this happy with an electronic piece right out of the box, but this one shines!

Quality:
Built like a tank.

Value:
Good buy for me.

Sound:
Obviously, the sound is the primary consideration. Well, several months ago I bought a Yamaha NP-30 keyboard. It sounds great through the stereo headphones but the built in speakers are a joke, especially in the low end. So I bought the CM30, but when I mushed the two stereo channels together through its mono speaker -- yuk! And it sounded just as bad when I squeezed it through a Behringer KT108 mono keyboard amp. Now as a music hobbyist I am new at this type of equipment, but it finally dawned on me that maybe I should, duh, try doing it in stereo, running a mono patch cable from one of the stereo out channels on the CM30 to the keyboard amp. Well, let there be light. And the nice thing about the Behringer (60.00 + shipping) is that it has an 8" woofer. So where the CM30 seemed slightly thin in the low end, the Behringer complements it nicely to produce a richer sound. I am definitely a happy camper.

Ease of Use:
If for now other reason than to avoid a bad rap from keyboardists who don't know what they're doing, perhaps a special instruction somewhere in the manual would be appropriate -- something like: STEREO IN? - THEN, STEREO OUT!

Support:
No experience here.

Overall:
Completely satisfied for now. Perhaps later would be interested in upgrading to an even better sound.

Quality:
You can use it on the floor on a stand... even on a table or chair. Its rubber tabs make it really steady on any surfacr

Value:
Really it's worth every penny

Desirability:
Its size and sound really makes it really "sexy". It really makes difficult to perform wihtout it

Sound:
This monitor is amazing. You have a whole range of sounds, from low notes from really high without any distortion. It's really nice

Ease of Use:
Using this monitor is really simple. Just connect the cable, adjust the volume, if you prefer, edit your Low and Hi frequencies and that's all you need. Really simple and great sound

Overall:
For monitoring pursposes, I would not change this cube for any other. Its size, sound and how comfortable it is makes it the perfect complement for my gear.

Feature:
Everything was great.

Quality:
This speaker is built really tough.

Value:
I would think a speaker this good would cost 5X more.

Desirability:
It doesn't look that great but the sound only matters when your singing.

Sound:
I was going to pay $500 on a really good speaker , but at the music store they let us test it and I like the roland alot better.

Ease of Use:
Everything was made easy and was labeled so you know what to do.

Support:
I never needed the support because the product was amazing.

Overall:
It was terrific.

Feature:
Good connectivity, easy to change EQ's in front where you need them, not on top. Sits on a Mike Stand for right ear level

Quality:
Well made case, easy to carry handle. Very portable vs a larger amp.

Value:
Small money for good sound vs larger amps.

Desirability:
Because of the size, portability and overall function... it's an excellent addition to my rig.

Sound:
Has good sound, easy to use - I use w/ a Korg. Good range and power

Support:
Roland - what can I say......

Quality:
feels very solid

Value:
this is a must-have in your arsenal

Desirability:
it gets noticed alot by other musicians because of its portability

Sound:
The sound is unbelievable for its size

Ease of Use:
Very light, like the mixer it contains

Overall:
if it were lost, i'd replace it with the same thing

Feature:
You can hook up anything to this. Lots of selections. Can put on a mic stand. Built in handle.

Quality:
Very sturdy. Well made.

Value:
Good buy/value.

Desirability:
Boxy, but I don't care.

Sound:
Play with Band in a Box. Jazz. Great drums, piano. Bass a little weak but that would be expected.

Support:
Never had to contact support.

Overall:
I am always looking for something better. But this is a good start.
