I love this monitor! I have bought six for school and one for home.

a versatile alternative to a special-purpose amp/PA/monitor

I've got three needs: a keyboard amp to make my Roland louder during practice, something to play my AdrenaLinn III through besides headphones, and occasionally a PA for my son's band playing for a sma ... read more [+]ll audience.
I looked at a lot of different products, but nearfield monitors seemed too delicate, PA systems too high-powered, keyboard amps too specialized. And then I found the CM-30, which covers all three needs and sounds great (MUCH better than a low-end keyboard amp I tried). I like the option to add a second cube, for stereo output, if needed. Perfect all around! close [-]
I wanted something that could accompany my trumpet in nursing homes.

Music Background: Bachelor of Music Education. Former School Band and Orchestra teacher. Primary instrument is trumpet.
I just wanted something that I could plug my laptop into to accompany my trumpet stuff in nursing homes .
This is just what I was looking for!
I was thinking of borrowing ... read more [+] a keyboard amp from church, but it was heavy and big with 15 inch speaker. Kind of glad the choir director did not want me to take it out of the church.
My knees are bad and I did not want to make multiple trips with a bunch of equipment.
30 watts is PLENTY loud in this venue.
A 300 W system doesn't push more than 20-30 W most of the time anyway. The extra power is for the peaks.
Remember, to achieve just a noticeable (3db) difference in sound would take twice the power (60 W). Twice as loud would take 10X the power or 300W. Unless you go digital, more power means more weight. And then you need a speaker with a heavier magnet to handle the load, and a bigger speaker for the bass, perhaps a horn for the mid range.
I have a friend who sings in nursing homes with pre-recorded background tracks using a Fender Passport, which is really nice, but he still complains about the space in his trunk and the weight.
This little thing is amazing. Easy to carry. Lots of mix features. Solidly built.
I can be in and out in a jiffy without needing a truck.
In my house, I could only stand to turn it up half way. close [-]

Purchased one for our Church keyboardest who is very picky (and we're talking picky - you know the type) about his feedback sound mix in summer 2006. This unit blew him away instantly and continues to ... read more [+] do so. Simple to set up (a keyboarest can do it) and now three people us eit for their feedback as well (one on the single CUBE speaker use two sharing the headset plugs. Best stage investment I ever made - made three musician happy at same time on feedback sound (and that ain't easy my friends).
Oh yeah - don't let the 30 watts fool you either - this baby cranks out nicely for background keyboard sound when mains are down low for a nice stage effect. Sound is decent quality for a small cabinet and travel type speak system. Need a spot feecback speaker for the stage - give this one a serious try. You won't regret it. close [-]
