Would the m-200 be good for instrumental guitarist playing to their own tracks? And what size venue would the m-200 be good for in your opinion? Im looking for something i can play my tracks on and use my guitar effects/distortion pedals. Good review 😁
oh yeah, if it's a small place like a bar or small pub, they should work just fine as long as you don't need "wedding" levels of sound...the M-200 are quite good quality too for the price.
if you're planning to use them with instruments only and not connect to computer..that would be ok...but i would highly recommend you buy a system that has a controller port (USB) so you have a way to record directly into computer if needed...this system does not have a usb connection, which makes it less than good for an artist...i'd suggest you get a mixer with usb connection, and if needed buy the speakers separately, make sure the mixer is "active" or the speakers are "active", so you don't end up needing a separate amplifier . (check some yamaha mixers with usb option, they're work horses)
@@OMNITEK good to know. Thanks for the help! Any recommendations on speakers or do I need to prioritize getting a mixer? I’m very new to this so I don’t have a good sense of direction yet
@@freakshot1029 so, are you trying to DJ or instrument musician, that's what matters most..for a DJ you don't need a lot of things, but for a Musician, you need a bit more..if you're going for Musician, you need a good mixer of at least 8 channels....if you're a DJ, you get away with "active speakers" ..controllers (numark, pioneer etc) and a computer with Virtual Dj, Traktor or Serato) , for a musician you need software too such as : Cubase, Ableton , Logic Pro etc...let me know what are you looking for so i can guide you as much as i can
@@OMNITEK I’m an instrument musician. I have my own studio software and an audio interface for recording vocals and my guitar. I’m looking to get gigs at smaller venues with my guitar and grow into a band at some point in the future. I had heard having acoustic amps also work well, but having a PA system works better.
@@freakshot1029 in that case, a good Amplified mixer, with 2 satellite speakers, and a nice subwoofer should do the job just perfect...optionally you can get a non-amplified mixer and buy a separate amplifier instead should work too...usually an 8-channel Yamaha with an ElectroVoice Q66 and some ElectroVoice speakers with an EV sub will do really good, i can go into sending you links but i don't want you to waste money if you can dig a lil bit and maybe start with some used or open box pieces just as a start i would say if you have any guitar center nearby would be good to check if they have any "returns", since they usually inspect them and let them go for cheaper. it's a catch because with powered speakers you don't need an amplifier, but you have more cables and sometimes they get overheated, with passive speakers they live longer and less wires but you either need a powered mixer or a separate amplifier...sorry for the lengthy comment but i don't want you to make my mistakes when i was young and starting in music.

@omnitek sounds good, thank you for your reply. Can't wait to try mine. 😊👍
Can you connect a bass speaker to it?
The speakers are powered?
great review! would you recommend this system for a beginning artist? I'm just starting to get gigs as a singer/songwriter

800 watts. Not 100.
