The box pro CX 5 is a clever little package – a powered speaker and mixer all in one.

Frequently Asked Questions
The coaxial design helps create a more consistent soundstage, minimizing phase issues and offering wider coverage – a definite plus for smaller spaces.
It *can* be used as a monitor, but the built-in EQ lacks the precision for critical mixing; it's better suited for practice or casual recording.
It's a good all-rounder, but excels with vocals, acoustic instruments, and lighter electric music – think singer-songwriters or small acoustic ensembles.
