I my ongoing effort to increase the professionalism of my chosen industry and to upgrade the production values of my own show, I have found what I believe to be the best small yet full range powered speaker.

I have a full concert system for my bigger work, but was looking for a portable unit for really small venues and b-days and still have great sounding music and voice.

This is it: http://www.roland.com/products/en/CM-30/index.html.

Check out the specs:

30 Watts
Speaker 16 cm (6.5 inches) + Tweeter (Coaxial 2-Way)
Controls Channel 1 (Mic/Line) Volume Knob
Channel 2, 3 Volume Knob
Stereo Phones Level Knob
Equalizer: Low Knob, High Knob
Volume Knob
Power Switch
Connectors Channel 1 Input Jack (XLR type, 1/4" phone type)
Channel 2, 3 Input Jack L (mono)(1/4" phone type)
Channel 2, 3 Input Jack R (1/4" phone type)
Aux In 1 Jack (RCA phono type)
Aux In 2 Jack (Stereo miniature phone type)
Stereo Link Out Jacks L, R (1/4" phone type)
Stereo Link In Jack (1/4" phone type)
Stereo Phones Jack (1/4" phone type)

It will take ANY mic, ANY music source and it sits on a mic stand!

And check out the size!

Width 8-7/16 inches
Depth 9-3/8 inches
Height 10-7/8 inches
Weight 12 lbs. 6 oz.!!!

It really does pack a punch! I got mine for $250.00 CDN. I suggest you rent one and try it. You can get them at any P.A. Supply store.
