Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The box MA5 is a surprisingly capable little monitor – or full-range speaker – for the price. It's ideal for singer-songwriters, small acoustic ensembles, or anyone needing a portable, self-contained sound source. The built-in mixer is a real convenience, and the power-to-weight ratio is excellent.
