Frequently Asked Questions

They're a budget alternative; the sound quality and build are noticeably less refined, but offer a functional solution for basic monitoring needs.
No, the frequency response isn’t accurate enough for critical listening or mixing; they're best for live performance where precise sound reproduction isn't paramount.
The 60cm cable is short; the included extension helps, but a longer aftermarket cable is highly recommended for stage use to avoid tripping.
