This shoebox-sized, portable PA has two combined quarter-inch inputs and a phono input. There's a Hi-Z instrument switch and phantom power.
Around the back there are line-level XLR ins and outs for chaining units together. The unit can be fitted to a mic stand for really useful placement when used as stage or DJ foldback. The 3-band EQ keeps things tuned accordingly - and best of all, it goes really loud.
There's obviously no real low-end but for a compact portable solution, it's crystal clear and really usable. Even though it's portable, there are a lot of good monitoring options competing in this price range.
