Customer ratings for McGrey E-208LAB Aktiv Line Array Akku-Säulenanlage - Retoure (Zustand: gut)

- absolutely sufficient for musicians with guitar, keyboard, vocals in the living room, smaller rooms (estimate up to 50 square meters max. 50 people) or for street music.
- Not recommended for music from a record.
- A carrying bag for the column ABSOLUTELY recommended for transportation comfort.
- Battery provides sufficient juice
- Sound quality: a 10-inch subwoofer would improve the sound image considerably BUT then it would affect the battery performance and/or the weight. Otherwise the sound is fine
- PRICE - PERFORMANCE Can't be topped

Although I bought it used because it is enough for me for my purposes but at 1x Ausen use went the AKKU operation is not a pity man Could have tested it before man sells it further Had thought the battery wehre but was not so diodes show full on but does not give it back Have ordered one more time let's see what becomes

Actually bought as "I still have nothing for vocals and guitar to make loud" with expectations adjusted to the price.
And I am absolutely positively surprised after about a week.
The system must hardly shy away from the comparison with significantly more expensive columns.
In the (at the price definitely worthwhile) stereo expansion, the McGrey should do quite well and bring even at a small gig enough power to provide a veritabel PA.
And that's exactly what it's made for!
The part is to be taken seriously and delivers!
Tried so far:

Outdoor Bluetooth - party box in the garden and at the quarry pond,
Singer-Songwriter - plant

planned:
Small sound reinforcement for spontaneous small gigs without power supply for an acoustic band.
In stereo extension as "back-up" for smaller gigs where only certain parts of the acoustic ensemble need amplification (bass, banjo, guitar)
And much more.

I have no doubt that the system will fully satisfy these applications.

For just about 250€ per piece, I recommend it especially for a tight budget and the first own system.

Combination tip:
A USB - operable mixer such as the Zoom LiveTrak L8, the Behringer Flow8 or a pedal mixer from EA and two E208LAB

Also imaginable:
Movie night with projector and 2 E208 in the garden, and yes, the system is even suitable for living room!

Despite initial skepticism because of the comparatively low price, I was pleasantly surprised by this small PA. Minimal effort to set up, easy handling, great sound with the appropriate setting. Ideal for a solo performance with guitar or other instrument. And the best: With the battery also everywhere to operate mains-independent (street, garden, etc ). I operate the device with a small battery mixer and use it together with a singer who also plays guitar. A second device can be connected via Bluetooth and then you have stereo performance. We are considering buying another unit because of this. With 12 kilos of weight and the transport in a Cajon bag, it is also good for each of us to carry. So all in all, thumbs up.

I think that I can describe myself as a musician who has a good ear. For this reason, I simply claim that the system is extremely lacking in "mids". Without a mixer in front of it, the system does not sound neutral due to the incredibly strong highs and couples quickly. If you add a mixer and turn the mids to "3 o'clock" and the treble to "10 o'clock", the system sounds neutral. the system sounds neutral. It's a pity that no crossover has been installed for this range. With two systems, you can fill quite a large company with sound.
The bass goes down very deep and sounds really rich. I also use this without tops as a sub to support the Bose S1 Pro. I have it connected to the headphone output of the mixer and can thus control it separately. I tried once how long the battery lasts and have to say that it was still 3/4 full after six hours (at moderate volume). If one has two systems, the battery lasts yes again longer, because you can halve the volume. I have no idea how the battery manages that. (Incidentally, it is available on Amazon for 25 Eur and installed in el. children's motorcycles, among other things). These plug-in elements wobble very much, but that does not really matter, because they are just standing there.

For me, a bit heights lasstig but for the price the hammer.
The battery performance is also top.

A bit weak 100 watts Rms. But do the job for the ceremony, cocktail, less than 100 people (better with 2). The only portable line array PA with battery that includes usb and card reader and bluetooth. Good thing.

For 180 € you get here a column PA which is absolutely solid for the price. To my taste, a bit very treble-heavy and a bit thin in the mids, but to be able to set up an additional speaker, eg for speeches or a side room, absolutely sufficient. The Bluetooth connection also works flawlessly.

The bass is clean and rich, and quite decent for a column PA.

Anyone looking for a cheap speaker that is light and easy to transport and would like to use this speaker as a cheap alternative, for example, as a delay line, monitor or as an outdoor speaker, is well served.
