Compact Vocal Monitor for the Stage!

Hear yourself onstage! With the PA6S mounted on your microphone stand or placed on the floor and used as a wedge, you'll be able to hear your vocals much more clearly, so you can perform with confidence. In fact, you won't believe the sound you can get from the PA6S when you aim it right toward you. The audience and other band members won't get blasted out with your custom mix — but you'll be able to hear just what you need for a first-rate performance. Don't hit the stage without your PA6S!

For convenience, the PA6S can mount right on top of a microphone boom stand. Plus, there's a built-in handle. Combine that with its light 6.4 lb. weight, and you know this one is easy to take to the gig. The Galaxy Audio PA6S is about more than piping your vocals to you, though. Thanks to a built-in compressor/limiter, it's also designed to protect your hearing. There's even a 3-band EQ, so you can tailor the sound and "sweeten" it, so it sounds best to your ears.

Need to practice with an iPod? It's no problem. The PA6S features a handy 1/8" stereo input so you can sing along with backing tracks during rehearsals. In fact, since there are a total of two microphone inputs on the PA6S, you can even rehearse with your iPod and harmonize with another singer, using the PA6S as your complete PA practice solution.

Apart from all of the PA6S's useful features for you, the performer, it's also something your sound guy will love. There's an XLR throughput on each microphone channel that passes the signal right on through to wherever it needs to go. And if you wanted, you could use the throughput to pass your signal on to another PA6S before you sent it on its way. Couldn't be easier!

Galaxy Audio PA6S Personal PA System and Powered Monitor Features at a Glance:
  • Personal PA monitor mounts on a mic stand or works as a floor wedge
  • Integrated handle and 6.4 lb. weight make it convenient for frequent gigging
  • Built-in Compressor/Limiter prevents output distortion
  • -20dB pad switches on each XLR input allow high-level signals without distortion
  • 3-band EQ (High, Mid, Low) to adjust the sound to what you want to hear
  • Pass-through on every channel can send signal to the mixer or another PA6S
  • 2-way speaker system: 6.5" high-power woofer and 1.5" high-efficiency tweeter
  • 170-watt Class D amplifier for lighter weight
  • Dimensions: 7.75" x 11.75" x 6.75"
  • Weight: 6.4 lbs.

With a lightweight, made-for-you design, the PA6S stage monitor is the perfect partner for your onstage performances!

compact stage monitor

Compact, unobtrusive and easy to use. Also used as a simple amp for acoustic mandolin when balancing with banjo and fiddles.

Galaxy has always produced outstanding compact speakers and this one is no exception. Lightweight and powerful with very good 3 band tone control. Perfect monitor design for the working Solo performer... read more [+], or Duo or Trio for that matter. Don't understand why anyone would try to power a passive speaker with the thru output of this monitor but oh well. If you need a monitor for the intimate gigs, this is the one. close [-]

Great Little Monitor

I own three PA6S. They sound much better than the Mackie or TC Helicon monitors/speakers of similar design. Yes, I tested them side-by-side. A signing drummer for a band I mix regularly loves it. ... read more [+] Every vocalist that I've used them with, in appropriate applications, has loved them. I even used a pair as PA/Monitors for my electronic drum kit for an indoor house party.

I use LO-2b/QK-2B quick release to mounts on mic stands to lessen wear and tear on the cabinet.

This speaker is not even listed under "monitors" or in the Hot Spot family on Galaxy's web site. Nothing in the product description or pictures indicates that an unpowered speaker can be driven from this unit. RTFM. close [-]

Galaxy PA6s

by Bill Willhite from Charlotte, NC

Music Background: Professional Musician
I have been using Galaxy Monitors for many years. I recently purchased the PA6s, thinking I could use it to power a daisy chain of 2 additonal non-powered Galaxy Monitors. WOW, was I shocked to find o... read more [+]ut that this pricey flagship design powered monitor did not even include a powered output. In past models Galaxy had provided this feature... and it was a useful one. The sound quality is great and if you only need only one monitor, maybe this will work for you. Seems like Galaxy would like to force their customer to have to purchase additonal more expensive powered monitors needlessly. One simple but important omission in the products features really diminished it's value. close [-]
