Overall User Ratings

"Powerful, dependable, great monitor for small to medium size venues."

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
The power indicator (green light) is visible, jacks, volume and tone controls are easly accessable. Power switch could be relocated for easier access, but not a problem.

Quality:
Excellent quality, sturdy construction and attractive.

Value:
Well worth every penny sent.

Desirability:
Small and sweet.

Sound:
We own two of these monitors. One for the drummer and one for a aging bass player. I will be purchasing two more shorty. One for the piano player and as a spare. The sound is very good, and has ample volume adjustment. We use them for personal monitors and are controlled through a 24 channel mixer.

Ease of Use:
We use this monitor with an electric drum set. The stage noise was reduced and the musicans are happier.

Support:
Haven't had any problems. Don't expect to need tech. support.

Overall:
Don't know, I guess I will have to wait until hell freezes over to buy something else.

"Impressive stage monitor... not a PA speaker."

Feature:
I couldn't ask for more out of a stage monitor. This is a very loud unit so it'll do it's job even in very noisy situations. The input choices are very impressive. You can use balanced or unbalanced XLR, TRS, 1/4 Phone plug line level. Or it has an unbalanced line input that the volume / tone controls don't affect. That, apparently, is intended for chaining these units. I only have one so I can't comment on this.

Quality:
I can't comment too much in this aspect. It appears to be a very durable ABS plastic (or something like that.) The controls have a "feel" to them similar to the portable Fender amps. No detectable distortion in the controls. Mine is only a week old. So far, so good.

Value:
I got a Beringer Powered stage monitor last year that cost about $50 more. It has all the qualities of the 1270 as far as inputs/outputs. But it has much higher sound quality. I use it for a PA, not a stage monitor. It seems to me that the 1270 should be lower in price for what it is. The convenience and portabillity makes it worth while.

Desirability:
A good piece of amp.

Sound:
For a stage monitor, this is a great unit. It's NOT a studio monitor. Don't expect to use this as a small PA and get top notch sounds. I would use it for a small assembly PA for non-music situations like auctions or lectures.

Support:
Never needed any support on my fender products: '71 twin reverb '03 Stratosonic (yes, these do exist) Cyber-twin amp head 4X12 cab (I'm a satisfied Fender customer)

Overall:
The only improvement I would want is the sound quality. Like I said, It's fine for a stage monitor. I also use it as a portable cab' for my amp head when practicing licks.
