Does anyone have any experience with the Roland CM-30 Cube Monitor? I would like to use two of them as a mini PA in small rooms. I can't find a music store around here, (DC), that has a demo model to try out. Later, Ray

Hi Ray,

I have been using one for the past 4 years or so as a monitor and I offer nothing but high praise of it used as a personal monitor. I have never used it as a mini PA, but I guess if the crowd were small enough (not too noisy) and the room had the right accoustics it might just do the trick for you. But I would not trade it for another personal monitor as it does the job and is rugged and light enough to build right into my music rack/stand. No I don't sell them, just a satisfied customer.

Later,

Ray, I use a pair in my home piano studio. When researching them I came across several positive reviews by folks who use them as PAs in smaller venues. At the moment, I'm using just one of the CM-30s with my Ketron SD2 at rehearsals for a community theater production. I'm holding my own against the brass section.

BTW, I bought my CM-30s at Foxes Music in Falls Church. But I heard some at the Best Buy in Reston a few months ago.

We've had one for a few years. We use it a home for a monitor and also for small venues such as retirement homes and even churches. We only have one and it gets cranked up when the church is packed (that's only at Easter and Christmas). My wife plays into a mic and we run an mp3 player for our backup. It has plenty of power for us and lots of different input jack choices. Great product, IMHO.

Just checked them out at the Reston Best Buy. They sound very good. Had the volume turned way up and played some bass patches with my EWI 4000s. Not a bit of distortion and loud too. I will definitely get a pair of these. Thanks everyone, Ray
