Sound TownPortable Line Array Column PA/DJ System with Sub Bass Module, TWS Bluetooth, Built-in 3-Channel Mixer, Carry Bag (CARPO-L1)

I have been DJing for over 40yrs now and I purchased the carpo L2 for small parties I’m very happy with sound quality and craftsmanship yes I understand these aren’t my large sub and speaker combo but it does the job

I'm a DJ who was looking for a easy to set up portable line array speaker. I bought two of these, not to DJ an event with but for ceremony/cocktail hours only. 1 arrived and the other never did. Yes while they were a easy set up little portable line array, they lacked the power to event do ceremony, cocktail or dinner music at a low volume. The clipping light was on at any amount of volume being pushed thru the speaker and yes the manual did say that if the clipping light flashes to turn down the levels. Needless to say, I returned them ASAP (even though the one is still out in the either somewhere.)I know these wouldn't be gigable but I figured they would be acceptable for background music. They were not.

Since arrays have dropped in price considerably, I had been intrigued at getting a set to give them a go at weddings, private parties, etc. Being a mobile DJ for 4 decades, I have learned the delicate balance of value/performance/durability. So far, they check most of the boxes.When taken out of the packaging and used for the first time, its shocking how much volume they pump out in such a portable package. In pairs by themselves, using a compact mixer, with my dj controller, I have found them to be more than adequate for indoors (>100 people). The sound without EQ (even the onboard ones turned on, are a bit shrill. So, properly EQing them is a big difference in performance.The arrays do come apart in 3 sections, the first being a "dummy" simply as a passthrough for connecting one or both of the other columns strictly for height preference. Fairly typical for a speaker like this nowadays. The brain (subwoofer) is slightly bulky. A tad heavier than you first expect. The top handle makes it easy enough to carry by hand.While the 3 pc arrays come with very convenient padded/zippered cases for easy transport, I would've loved to see the CARPO L-2 sub also get a carry case. I've yet to find a generic one that will fit. And being made of plastic, I'm not confident in its long term durability for the road.As most people are saying, for large venues/events, they just don't have the power to reach all the way across the room themselves. But add a single powered sub (or even 2), and its night and day comparison. I've used these for some of the largest parties I've played in the past 12 months. With proper EQing, I've never had them distort, or felt like they weren't enough for any application.Would I rather have a set of EV Evolve 50's? No doubt. But not for the difference in price. After a year of these being in service, I'm hoping to put them through the paces for years to come.I wasn't familiar with Sound Town until about a year ago, but i'm glad I stumbled upon them. And the CARPO L2. It has lightened and sped up my load/setup time without sacrificing quality. Would definitely recommend.

The media could not be loaded. I’m a professional dj and I bought these for smaller events I recommend using a 12” sub with these the bass hits but there is way to much highs because the sub is at the bottom and it’s only an 8” woofer. If you don’t have a sub I recommend not using a mixer and if you use Apple Music put the eq at increase bass and it sounds pretty good there is also a bass boost knob on the back but I recommend keeping it at about 1o clock

this is about the LII with the 12" subwoofer. I sing, play guitar, and run a drum machine. I play in restaurants and senior care facilities. I'm very pleased with the LII. The subwoofer is heavy enough to be steady, but easy to lift in and out of my hatchback. I was amazed and the nice pristine high frequencies even though it has no tweeters, only 3" drivers. Vocal mic sounds good with no eq. Obviously I use a mixer, since I need 3 inputs. One thing for sure, my drum machine sounds a LOT better with this 12" subwoofer. I have no idea how loud it will go, since it goes plenty loud for my uses at a very low setting

Being in the sound business for a bit. There's a nitch for portability, this kind of product fits the bill and that's it. I knew going in, had no big expectations. The sound is Average or less. It fits the needs for social events like announcements, speech, auctions, art receptions, mixers, and Kid programs. Somewhere people need to converse! not compete with the music volume! --- That's the nitch!.. // PS...tons of EQ needed, Bluetooth is good for music. -EQ control off your cell phone. -Sure, plug in a mic to talk for modest crowds,-Tip,,,///--Position close to a corner or wall to find Bass...

Buyer beware!! This is my third review for this product. If you are not sure about this product working for your particular application I advice you to shop somewhere else. This company will charge you return shipping plus restocking fee. I really wanted to shop a small business when I purchased from this company. But charging customers this kind of money just to return something that they will just resell is ludicrous. I paid $260 for this unit and they only refunded me $201. I will never ever support this seller again. A $50 mistake. And all of this after a good email about returns from one of their reps!And the unit was exceptionally weak in output and the cabinet rattles. If there were negative stars I would have given them 10
