Kustom PA50 Portable Loudspeaker Review

- This is a short review on the Kustom PA50 Loudspeaker and a comparison to a more expensive and larger PA speaker. This is my first review on any product, and is my first time using voice over with a sript and a sure mic into a mackie 4 channel mixer, and i dont have a popper stopper, so sorry if my voice doesnt sound so great or if it sounds very scripted!
A decent review. I've been playing music over 40 years and this little unit set up with a decent mixer and I purchased the kustom Sub woofer is the bomb! I've played shows with over 100 , people and and everyone loved it. I've been using a katana head into the mixer and drum machine. Light, crisp and the sub kicks a**! Get the sub, you won't be sorry. Peace.
Guitar can play ?
How did you connect a mixer to the pa50?
Any tips on how you set your mixer levels and volume on back of the unit for maximum sound without breaking up? I dont have a subwoofer, just the speaker. I use it for keyboards for a personal monitor.
100 People?? Really. Wou!
I have a pair of Pa50 and the subs . They rock , i played music for an event at the local community college
in the gym . I was told to turn down the music to loud . Now i know how Marty McFly felt .
Just got this and for 100.00 its a no brainer. I run my drum sequencer and backing tracks to Solo my guitar over. I picked up a harbinger 300 watt 8" (125 RMS) the kustom makes ogreat mid range setup.. pole mounted could handle smaller gigs bars etc.. but sounds phenomenal for 100 bucks. If a guy got the kustom and a sub, I believe that would cover snall venue's excellently.
I'm buying the kustom tomorrow..
Guitar center has it for 79$..
Me and my friend just jamm in my garage.. two guitars.... Surely that's plenty loud enough for vocals?
Definitely a good speaker for that!
Can guitar play?
I just purchased this system last weekend for my classroom ... I am the choir director for a local middle school, and I have extremely loud, hyper, rambunctious 7th graders who completely drown me out audibly when they get started. Because I'm a vocalist, constantly shouting on a daily basis is detrimental to my instrument. So I purchased this speaker, not even knowing if it would be useful, and it has made a world of difference in the classroom. My head no longer feels like it's going to explode at the end of the day, and my voice can relax a little. A very smart purchase in my opinion.
Sheila Ramsey question...where can I buy this speakers????I love it tks.
Can i use it in a church?
@@eduardovalenzuela5925 Yes!
I would use this to power one or two mikes, and an acoustic electric guitar.
Mine gets really hot for use in 15 minutes and the master volume at 25% . I have a keyboard and mic plugged in. Is this normal? I can touch it for a few seconds in the back but it gets too hot.
Great video i have 2 pa 50 and a kustom subwoofer for a small bar gig works great and sounds real nice had them for bout 3 years now and still kick butt there small but loud and get the job done
Forsure!! I mainly use mine as a monitor when I'm djing! Thanks for the view and comment!
Could I plug my synth keyboard into this?
I'm looking for something to use for a very small venue. We're talking a small patio on the back of a coffee shop. I'd have my acoustic guitar, and two vocalists with me and a Gal singing. I think for the price this would be good. I have QSC mains for the band I play in, but that's overkill I think. And they are heavy and I'd rather get something light, and cheap. Those QSC's are 800 at least.
I'm looking for speakers to plug my phone in . How does this compare to a sound bar ?
Would be perfect for that.
So, what did time tell you about the build quality of this speaker? How has it been gigging with this thing? Thanks in advance!
This unit "overheated & shut itself off" at a nursing home gig I did a few years ago. I wasn't "pushing it all that hard" I put it away & haven't used it since (a Roland AC 40 is my choice these days-I've played a small outdoor gathering with it)
KatDaddy 55 Thanks for the reply. I ordered it, then returned it right away because I wanted to use it as a practice speaker, and I didn’t like how the controls were on the back. I ended up getting the Behringer EUROLIVE B205D Active PA/Monitor Speaker. It’s been good so far. Thanks again!
@@dustinvaldeztv No problem !! I'm gonna take a look at the Eurolive B205D
Is this the type of pa systrm you could plug an electric guitar into.
Great review! Thanks
Can the SYNC jacks be used as an "effects-Loop" ??? HOW?
mackey = crappy
thump is a big joke in music stores amongst salesmen.
I use two of these for my Boss ME80
Nice voice for reviews and commentary.
Thank you! I'm wanting to make more content!
I’ve had this speaker for about 3 years or so, but today I plugged in 2 microphones, and I plugged in the aux chord but no music will play??? Why? I’ve never had trouble with that before. I need helppp
You did a good job.
I've heard this is decent for use with a guitar amp modeler (Line6 POD HD500x in my case), as it doesn't color the sound much. Anyone else used this speaker for a similar application? Just looking for something to jam in my bedroom that will not color the tone of my POD too much.
Also, with the two channel inputs, is it output as stereo?
I use two of these (one L, one R) for my Boss ME80. It's still great 7 years later.
@@HumanBeanbag I ended buying one, mostly used these days when I need something portable. I like the stereo idea! Might try that.
You would not want to use a bass amp with a guitar or a guitar amp for a drum amp. Because these amps have frequency limitations in different areas. But PAs are pretty good with the full range of frequencies so they can be used with everything.
I have had few kustom products and the brand it's very good for its price.
What mic do you recommend for outside use to eliminate background noise such as people talking and traffic sounds
I can't use that junk. Mackie is usable except the bottom end.
Hi.. just asking. Its this speaker suitable for electronic drum kit?
could you use this with electric drums?
did you get an answer for your question? I had the same one :)
I like the way you explain its help a lot to me. Thanks
excuseme..can i to conect other speaker in the kustom pa50.. ?
I have a powered 15" Fender wedge monitor (older and much road use
showing). It's too heavy for small gigs for for me to lug around as a
monitor. Would this work as a sub-woofer with two of these units for a
small venue?
Yes
How would you connect a small mixer with effects to the pa50?
Run your cord from the speaker line in to the main out on the mixer.
What stands do you use for this speaker?
thanks so much! this was actually really helpful and really finalized my decision to save money for one of these!
No sound sample?
There would not really be a point of adding a sound sample, because you would not be hearing what the speaker is actually putting out. by the time the audio records on the camera then gets transferred to the software and uploaded to youtube, you would not be getting any good sound quality from it, especially through computer speakers or any kind of headphone, you would need to hear it in person.
What exactly do you consider a medium sized venue?
I'm wanting to do some acoustic gigs (coffee houses, bars, etc). Would this work?
Yes. This would work for that.
I played these speakers at my freinds' wedding inside a 60ft canvas tent with wood burning stove. I used 2 speakers and they worked great! More than enough volume for what I wanted to do.
Thanks for a good review. Best wishes.
Anybody know if this would be fine for vocals in grunge/metal? You know the heavy stuff like AiC, Nirvana, Pantera, Soundgarden, etc.
I'm buying one tomorrow as of June 8th.. me and my buddy jam in my garage.. right now I'm singing out of a kids karaoke machine.. but I will get back with you and let you know how it works for vocals for loud Rock... if you haven't already found out
I ended up getting it, just to reassure you, it works pretty decently. Songs like Breed or In Bloom you can hear but the vocals are lower volume than ideal (coming from a 25 watt amp). Overall, it works, it just depends on how big an emphasis you want on singing, but your average hard rock songs relatively work well still.
@@ninetoedlizard6650 ..sweet.. thanks.. yes I'm gonna get it.. we just jamm our guitars,, and I sing..I was thinking when we find a drummer whatever I'll move on to something bigger. Thank you so much for responding
@@brianbighatbearl6131 not in a band but this thing isn't gonna hold up with drums at alllll. I'm gonna do the same if I find a band. Prolly a Roland Cube or something, but that's just something I've heard
Very helpful review, thanks!
Great review! Very well done.
good job!
Can guiatr conect ?
You may answered this already, Can I connect an electric guitar?
Yo FS yes with an adaptor. But its not ideal because an actual guitar amp will model your sound
Thank you. I'm trying to carry around the less gear possible.
The intro music is obnoxious as hell. Figure it out and you might do okay.
This is an old video, a lot has changed and I got some more reviews on some EV products.
@@Easy1Productions Cool man. Try some organic rock music or something. Not a band really, just anything but sampled music.
