JBL CONTROL 1 PRO High Performance 150-Watt Miniature Studio Monitor Speaker, Black, Sold as Pair Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned three sets of Control 1s over the years. Always liked them and have several times bought other speakers and brought home, only to decide after comparing head to head, that the Control 1's are superior. I highly recommend them because the sound is great, they are indestructible, and shielded, so you can place anywhere (next to your amp, TV, or a PC Display).
First pair were stolen (thieves stole only the Control 1s! they had good taste!), so I bought new pair of the Control 1 eXtremes, the more consumer oriented version. Loved them and have had for a couple years. Recently bought another pair of Control 1's, this time the Pros. Most people won't tell much difference between either version, especially at low-mid level listening volumes. The basic differences are that the Pro's are 4 ohms. They will play louder than the eXtremes. The Pro's also have protection against overload. Bottom line is that if you want something that can occasionally jam very loud, the Pros are a bit better choice but the eXtremes will work just as well for most people and are a better choice if you plan on using them as a surround speaker (because they are 8 ohms and will match your others speakers better, load wise).
But overall, either version of the Control 1's are a great choice. Choose Pro's if you want to jam them as a single stereo pair, choose the eXtremes if you want 8 ohm speaker compatibility.

Behringer VMX1000 7-Channel Rack-Mount DJ Mixer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This mixer is a great buy for the money. I have used it for over a month and a half. When I received it thru UPS, I read the manual - good writing, clear and concise - very explanatory in identifying all of the twisty-knobs, flippy-switches, and blinky-lights.
It has been turned on for 24/7 mixing input for my low power FM radio station. After hooking it up - with the user's manual close by - I flipped the power switch - As it came alive a dozen-teen colored lights started to blink. You can't dim the lights but, for me, they are at a brightness that does not bother me. The inputs used are Channel 1: computer, Channel 2: satelite feed, Channel 3: CD player, Channel 4: turn table, and Channel 5: MP3 player.
You can lay it down flat or stand it upright. I have mine standing upright. It will not take an unbalanced microphone, only the XLR microphone connection. The microphone enjoys its own bass thru treble controls, as does each of the input/output channels.
My personal conclusion: The equipment is easy to learn and to use; easy on the wallat; fantastic eye-candy for others when they walk into the studio. There is no hum when the gain is cranked to its highest setting. I would recommend this piece of equipment.
