Monoprice SRD212 Powered Speaker 12in, with Class D Amp, Built-in Digital Sound Processor DSP, and Bluetooth Streaming, Portable and Lightweight -

Purchased two of these. One started going fuzzy in practice and then just died. Fuse still good. No way to economically fix due to price - replacement plate amps are not available. My amp tech won't even look at it as cost to repair exceeds buying another one. Will just buy another one when they go on sale.

Purchased 2 SRD212 speakers for use as monitors as a gift to a local church to replace their old speakers that had died. Their musical director, sound person and members of the band have been sending me messages of thanks and are loving these speakers. They are using the speakers as monitors for the vocalists. The musicians are all on an in-ear system so they don't need to use these at a high volume level. Most people usually comment about how clean speakers sound when cranked, but these folks are loving the clarity at lower volume levels. The sound engineer loves their Bluetooth capability as well for when they run tracks along with the on-stage musicians. The MD said that he's thrilled to have "a solid pair of speakers" that can be used for mains when they do outdoor or remote events when they aren't being used as stage monitors. Great quality and a wonderful value! Thanks Monoprice!

Got this 12" version for my daughter to play her electronic drums on. She was tired of headphones all the time, and wanted to share her playing with family. Good base, and bluetooth lets you play a song on your phone to play along with. Excellent for Drums!!!

So far I've still not used all of the inputs or bluetooth features of this device. But what it has delivered is far better than anything else in the same price range, hands down. I only gave it a 4 star rating because to use it as a floor monitor the cabinet isn't angled enough so you must wedge it with a block of wood or something to get it to the proper angle. But I will probably buy a second one and put them on stands instead. Monoprice has always delivered great product at amazingly low prices.

The absolut best bluetooth speaker on the market! If your buying JBL, your paying way too much. Had a visit from the local police the first time i used it! JUST ONE SPEAKER! Will be buying a second one soon!

I love this speaker. It stands about 3 feet tall and has an amp and is verry loud! I couldn't believe it from the size of the picture and what I actually received. This speaker has 3 handles and is portable and I can connect it to all my bluetooth devices. This is the most awesome speaker I have every owed.!:) Kim

Background: I am not an audiophile, nor am I using this speaker for anything other than my personal use. I have a small studio in my home and I tinker with music of all kinds. I use near-field monitors for everything and had been considering a PA speaker or an FRFR (full-range, flat-response) to use, essentially, as a guitar cabinet. I am not a performing artist, so I just couldn't justify the typical $700 starting point for a true FRFR cabinet which lead me towards PA speakers. I shopped around my local music stores, researched, reviewed, and compared all of the different PA speakers out there. I came away with the following requirements: - Blue-tooth...Once I learned that some PA speakers include blue-tooth connectivity, I knew that was something I wanted - Inputs...I have already mentioned guitars, but I also have a small electronic drum set. Having 2 XLR inputs allows me to run output for guitars and drums. - Power - at 1200W this thing is 3X more powerful than any almost any other PA speaker at this size and price - Build - I won't be hauling this thing around to gigs, but wanted something durable with handles for easy mobility. After deciding these were the features most important, the Monoprice SRD212 seemed like a no brainer. I only wanted one speaker, I don't use it for live performances, it has blue-tooth, multiple inputs, and way more power than any other 12" PA speaker under $500. After about a month of use, here is my feedback: - Blue-tooth...This is a sweet feature. I took the speaker out on my back padio this past saturday and was blown away how well this thing sounded. It sounded like a DJ was set up in my backyard. - Inputs...I am indeed able to run my guitars and drums through this thing. I just wish I could play both at the same time. - Power - To be honest...it's way too loud for the little room I use, but it 100% serves it's purpose as an FRFR for my set up. It provides a completely differnt listening experience than near field speakers and I now have the ability to hear both. If I ever decided to play a gig, I now have a 1200W stage monitor. The blue-tooth, power, and portabiliy of this thing have given me a sweet solution for outdoor music - Build - It's built like it looks. I love the closed mesh metal cover and the rest is solid, durable plastic. There are handles on 3 sides so moving it around is relatively easy given it's weight. The design allows you to lay it on either side like a studio monitor or upright like a typical PA speaker. The bottom has rubber foot pads and the insert for speaker stands. For the price, I feel like I got way more than I paid for. I purchased this speaker to use as a guitar cabinet and it is perfect for my purposes in that department. I've made sure to set it up so that I can quickly move it when needed. The next time I get invited to "the shed" for an open jam, I'll now have a great option for cabinet/monitor. I know I'll also be using it outside this summer instead of the horrible WiFi speaker we've been using. I am really pleased with this speaker. Thanks MonoPrice!

I bought 2 of these a few months ago and now one of them wont power on. I checked the cables and outlets, but one still doesn't work. Not sure how it died, I assume there was some sort of faulty wires on the inside.

Great speaker for the price. Housing is heavy gauge plastic. Haven?t explored all the use options. I use it for vocal monitors with a full band. I?ve used the vocal setting. Didn?t require any eq adjustments at all for my ears. Nice and clear and plenty of headroom

the pleasure you get when you listen to the crisp high's and deep bass low's. you can fill a house by putting it in a central location and have music all around. cant wait to try it outdoors

Started with a 10 hour break in period set on pole mount floor standers. Initial demo was a mobile 3.5mm source split as single RCA channel to each L and R speaker (DJ setting). I was not impressed. :( Changed source to a windows 10 PC -> USB DAC -> RCA preamp with bass boost -> RCA subwoofer (300W), line out -> single RCA channel to each L and R speaker (flat setting). holy moly, these sound great with the added low end upstream. Once i bypassed the onboard processing and added some pre-amplification, I got NICE results. Line/mic button input worked great with an unbalanced dynamic mic. Give them a chance, a super deal if you pair with quality gear. Did not try the built-in DAC yet. But will update my review in a few weeks once further broken in. On their own certainly good enough for small parties.

Ordered 2 of these. 1 Woofer was not attached at all. There were no screws to hold it in place. Other unit was fine and worked as expected. I don?t blame Monoprice as this was clearly a manufacturing issue. Returned defective unit. Still waiting for replacement.

I bought the 10" speakers and they were great. I bought a pair of the 12" speakers and both had an issue with the grills not being screwed in properly. One had an issue with the Mic/Line button, which didn't depress far enough to engage. I'm going to keep it anyway because we only use the Line setting, and it works. 5 stars for the sound. 3 Stars for the Quality Control.
