Knox Gear Dual Speaker and Mixer Set–Portable 8” 300 Watt DJ PA System with Wired Microphone & Tripod Stands, Amplifier, Bluetooth, USB, SD, 1/4” Line RCA, XLR Inputs, Ideal for a Party or Event

I bought this PA because I've needed one for awhile. Reason being, I run pub trivia shows, host karaoke, DJ, and also do solo music shows with vocal and acoustic guitar. And this PA is absolutely ideal for doing ALL of this at small to medium-sized venues. It's just really well-designed and very capable.With the speakers attached to the sides of the powered mixer, it's super easy to transport in and out of any space. Once you get it in, it sets up in minutes. Everything is clearly labeled, simple to connect and adjust, and just plain works. And everything you need to get started is included, from the cables, to the microphone, to the speaker stands. It's astonishing that it comes in at this price point. The sound is also very clear, and plenty loud. It's handled anything I've thrown at it, from voice, to music, to backing tracks, to mic'ing my guitar amp. There's even built-in Bluetooth connectivity, a USB and SD reader, and a five-band equalizer. I just can't think of anything this extremely handy bundle is missing.The only semi-weak points: the included microphone isn't exactly amazing, but it more than works. And the speaker stands are pretty short. But upgrading to an SM58 and some taller stands should only be maybe an extra $150 or so, and what's included will work just fine for most applications in the meantime.Bottom line: I am EXTREMELY happy with this purchase, and I'm sure you would be, too.

I did a community event with this in a large gymnasium and I didn't even turn it up half way, it was very loud and the quality of the music was great. Bluetooth worked amazing. The latch on the carrying case on the back of the sound board is very cheap plastic and it was snapped off when i got it, but that's not a big deal. All the components work well and I was actually surprised at the microphone quality as well. For the money it definitely does what it needs to!

The first one I ordered was damaged but customer service made it right and I received a new system. The sound quality is unreal for this small pa. It also has easy to understand user friendly controls. I would recommend this for small venues.**Update**I've had this little P.A. for over a year and believe it or not I've been DJ'in with it! It works great for small venues, but the microphone provided is crap, I just use my Sm58 as my main mic. I also use a wireless mic system for karaoke with zero issues. It's not the overall greatest but I feel like Knox got this one right!

I am pretty happy with the setup. It worked great and sounds good, and is easy to transport. Everything I was looking for. I only have two complaints which aren't big deals, just worth listing though. The first is simply in the description they don't list the length of the speaker cables, they are roughly 18'6" long. The second issue I feel is more critical and is why I didn't give 5 stars. I feel the 8 channel input is misleading. I found the I could only use either the Line input or the MP3 input at one time, I couldn't used both simultaneously therefore I couldn't have a Bluetooth device playing music and the PC playing sounds too. Not a major deal just have to get an XLR cable to connect the PC on one of the other channels line in (1-4) . Oh yeah one last thing, the Blue tooth only allows one active device connection at a time.

This is a phenomenal value. I’ve used it for staff training presentations for 2 years and it’s worked flawlessly. It would cost $200 just to rent this each time. It’s compact and works perfectly. It can get loud but I just use it for presentations. Voice is clear, we only turn it to 4/10 volume. If you need an easy, cheap PA system this is the perfect buy.

Portable

As so many others have said, this is a nice little system for the money. If you expect high dollar performance, you need a high dollar machine.Pros - It was easy to pull right out of the box and set it up and get the microphone to working. Then, it all fits nice and neat back together so you can pick it up with one hand carry it.Cons - A LOT of the material is plastic. The dividers for the cords are plastic and they fit into plastic grooves. The connectors used to connect the legs on the speaker stands to the central post are plastic. There is other plastic too, but I want to focus on both of these because I had three broken pieces of plastic pulling it out of the box. Neither stand is usable because the plastic connecting the legs to the central post is broken. On one stand, the leg is completely broken free, on the other stand, one leg is cracked and looks ready to break. Is this important? It's what keeps the speakers from topping over. I'm setting them on stools until I have a chance to buy some more stands. The plastic divider in the storage compartment is not a big deal, and if it was working the way it should, I wouldn't use that particular divider any way.Would I buy it again? Probably. But I would definitely inspect the packaging and look for broken pieces before I accepted delivery. As it is, I just don't have another 3-4 days to wait for an unbroken item to show up. I need this tomorrow.

Used this at my wedding this past weekend to both run guitar and vocals through, and play music off my laptop via Bluetooth. The sound was loud and clear for almost 8 hours of continuous use, and the onboard effects on the mixer were more than enough for the vocals and instruments. The portability is amazing as well, it all packs nicely and compactly together. I’d highly recommend for anyone looking for a PA system in this price range.
