VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: I run sound for a male gospel singing group with piano. I wanted a powered speaker for mains capable of small to medium size venues. I listened to JBL, Mackie, Peavey, and several others with similar power ratings, some with higher power ratings. I bought the MSR400. The sound is very clean and true especially for vocals. Excellent balance between lows and highs, and the power is more than adequate for even some larger rooms. I run these using Blue Encore 300 mic's and a Soundcraft FX16ii board. If your focus is on vocals with clean sound, (not needing to blow ears off), you should give these speakers serious consideration. Feature: The reason I give them a 9, (like most powered speakers), is that you get this short electrical cord that will barely reach the floor if you pole mount these which you will do 99% of the time. Speaker manufacturers need to provide at least an 8 foot cord to make connections to extension cords where necessary more practical as well as cosmetically better looking. The units have a low and high EQ but I run this at neutral setting and control EQ from the board which most people will do. Ease of Use: Plug and play. What more can you say about powered speaker ease of use. Quality: Although made in China,(like virtually everything else in music), they appear to be constructed very well. Molded cabinets eliminate potential vibrations, sturdy, metal grill, easy to transport. Like any speaker I would recommend getting a cover to protect from dust and other elements. Time will tell how it holds up over-all. Value: Given what is available in the market especially with higher power wattage these are a bit pricy in comparison. Most of the MSR series are a bit over-priced given the competition. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed them yet so we'll hope for the best if I do need them. The Wow Factor: Excellent cosmetic appeal and it doesn't frighten the audience who sit "up front" worrying that they might need ear plugs. Overall: Given the sound, and the purpose, for which I purchased these they are an excellent choice. Probably will never need anything more unless we start playing arenas!

Back to Product Information
Sound: The sound of the Yamaha MSH 400 is absolutely amazing. For vocals it cannot be beat. I put this against the JBL Eon G2, mackies, and yorkville and the Yamaha blew them away. Feature: Yamaha makes the best amplifiers period. Numerous in connections and a built in 2 band equalizer help you fine tune the sound. It also has a special crossover where there is absolutely no distortion. Ease of Use: Plug from mike straight into the speaker or go thru a mixer. Quality: Yamaha has been making the best amplifiers for years and in this product it is no exception. Do this, goto your local music store. Get a cd that features vocals and do side by side comparisons on the quality. Thats what I did and the Yamaha blew away the competition. When I play a CD thru the pair it sounds absolutley amazing. The bass is excellent, mid and highs crystal clear. When my friends come over and I pipe a cd thru the speakers they are speechless.......... Value: For the speakers in the 500-800 dollar range these cannot be beat. Manufacturer Support: No problems The Wow Factor: Traditional look Overall: I strongly suggest you give this speaker a serious consideration. I am the type of guy who examines all the specs, and then does side by side comparisons before buying anything. It was not even close, the Yamaha was the choice hands down. Now that I have the pair set up I am completely satisfied.

Sound: We compared this against the Mackie SRM450 and the Yamaha bass response is better. Mackie has too much mid range. Value: Cheaper price than other powered PA monitors out there.

Back to Product Information
Sound: Great response on a wide range of frequencies. I put it side by side to a JBL Power15 and it kicked the snot out of it in terms of overall sound quality and especially on the low end. A little pricey, but I think it's worth it. Feature: Nothing spectacular, but I'm glad it came with a line-in as well as two mic-ins so you don't really need a PA for basic usage. It has a volume knob of course, and it has basic low/high eq knobs which is nice as well. Also has a clipping LED so you know when it's being overworked. Quality: Solid construction, medium weight, handles on both sides... thumbs up. Value: Again, a little pricey, but I think it's worth it. Manufacturer Support: Yamaha is a quality company. The Wow Factor: I was very impressed with this product in store and it really was spooge-worthy enough to shell out the extra cash for. Overall: I might eventually need more wattage output, although this thing gets LOUD.
