I bought this speaker back in 2018 from sams and it still works like brand new and i abuse the crap out of it almost every day its a great speaker for the price
Very, very, very helpful. Thank you. I'm about to rent one of these, so it's good to get some general info on it ahead of time. I'll be connecting it to my laptop and playing from iTunes.
I bought one at Sam's club brought it home tried it out and it had a bad static noise just with no music. Thought it could be the cords. Went to Guitar center bought new cords, same thing. Took it back to Sam's and exchanged it for another. Tried the new one, same thing. Sent it back to the company. They tried to say it was the receptacle or cord. I told them I had an earlier model called ION Total Pa Pro 400 watts which I used same receptacle and cords which had no problem at all. I received the new speaker, ION Total Pa Max 500 watt used it 2 times and it started the same static noise. I am returning all of the Total Pa Max speakers. I don't like the noise. Nothing like the Total Pa Pro 400 watts. I would not purchase the Total Pa Max even if it was $50.00!
I just bought mine from Costco. Super heavy! Sounded great and it does what I wanted it for like Karaoke thru my laptop via bluetooth. You can pretty much have any song you want. The only thing I hate about this is it doesn't have battery and it is heavy.
Dont try using the RCA inputs. I fried my 60" tv, mixer, and sound in my laptop. Took it back got another one. Plugged RCA in and they bit me. Decided to use bluetooth only.
I bought 2 of these and have had them for almost 2 + years without any issues. I would love a little more bass from these but otherwise they are very loud and have used them for several events/parties without any issues.
bigred3282 hey I’ve been having an issue with mine and I’ve only had it for 4 months. Barely play it because I’m at work all the time but the bass has gone out and the sound is terrible,any recommendations?
Andre Ross This may be a dumb question, but is your bass knob in the back turned down? Like i said these don’t put out a lot of low end bass but just for simple house parties they do the job. Otherwise i’d say you may have a blown speaker or some other hardware issue.
I just bought one used at a pawn shop, it sounds fairly loud with some decent bass. It does appear that the 15' woofer has been changed out due to not having any of the lights visible. Don't really care for the lights anyway, kind of cheesy lol. for more base, I plan to incorporate a pair of 18' subs and only keep the bass knob at half way to only cover the mids and highs with it. If not, also use it as a floor wedge monitor which is only for vocals, guitars or keyboards. This is way cheaper that what a high end monitor would cost. For @Andre Ross, the problem may be where the speakers are in storage, like all electronic devices, humidity, salt in the air etc. can cause problems. One way to check the speaker is by removing the grill and slightly moving the speaker in and out, if you hear a grinding noise, the the voice coil is burnt and is overlapping. You can also test this with a multimeter. speakers are usual built at 2, 4 or 8 ohms. If its bad, you can replace the speaker with the same specifications. Another thing is the audio input levels, junk in is junk out. if the volume on the source device is way up, than the speaker will sound distorted even if the volume is turned down. Keep your source device at minimum half way, if not try using a small mixer to regulate the source level inputs. Hope this helps.
Yes there is a difference the one he got does not have a wireless link button and the one you bought does have a wireless link button meaning you can link 2 speakers together playing at the same time while connected to bluetooth. Both speakers need to be the same
It has no battery it is not battery power I was reading a bunch of reviews it surprises me how many people think that this system is battery powered it has to be plugged in at all times.
@@seriouslyfun8134 why do you keep posting this link? The speaker you posted a link to is nice but it seems hit or miss with the longevity based on reviews
I'm not in front of the unit as I type, but I believe so. There's a number of connections in the back of the unit, and XLR connections to bring in audio from a mixer.
You never talked about the quality of the speaker and the bass, if its good built or not, and the microphone either..im not sure doing reviews is your thing
When he played bone and biggie 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Ion are junk.
is this one big speaker or is this a pair of speakers cuz I mean sounds great looks awesome but for $200 it better be a set
@@djbryanladd ion want that
Just bought one, price was dropped down to $169, that's a steal, sounded great
I just made an offer for 114hope i get it
Just going to watch this over like 20 times until I get this tomorrow... can't wait!
I take it, you like to watch people "shop"? LoL

Elvis Adams were you able to find a different speaker? I don’t want a static or any type of annoying sound coming with music or no music too.
I took mine back cause halfway after I turned it up it did not go up any louder
Nick go with Altec Lansing 15’ lightning speaker. Way better than that one.
I wasn’t expecting your music selection! Snap is always a good tester with both bass and treble. Biggie & Bone is🔥🔥🔥

Is the one from your Costco this one he got or the “PREMIER”?
I was hoping for the rechargeable battery to run without ac/dc power supply. So I grabbed the Power Glow 300
Wall shaking bass?
We just bought one today. Looking forward to taking it to the cottage the summer! ☀️🗣🕺🏼

bigred3282 I only have it at half. I turned it on no bass and the sound is horrible.
Andre Ross I’m not really sure then.. does it do that no matter which method of input you have selected? ( BT, radio, aux in?)

Will this be sufficient for a 3000 square foot reception hall room? I saw it at Sams today and want to use it for a wedding reception.
These a literally hot garbage. So no
@@michaelg1237 thanks for the reply, lol, the wedding was last December. we decided to get a DJ lol
You earned a free subscriber for being a kind and helpful elderly :)
I’m going to subscribe just because you played Bone and biggie at the end lol best group ever btnh
i fukn love you man, thanks for playing my fav bone and notorious biggie song
Not a bad speaker for the price and for folks that are entry level to PA speakers. Love the music you chose to play in the video. 😂👍🏽
Wich one have more power sir that one or Gemini GSP-L2200PK
Should I purchase these speakers or the Altec lansing ALP-2200PK???
Great video keep up the good work.
Some tight beats. Nice video. About to go into Sam’s Club right now and buy one.
Wow nice ION Total pa Max Speaker
How do you connect this to the t.v I tried to my smart tv. Went to setting external speakers with the red and white cords still nothing
U have to put the other end of the card in the tv part that says headphones. I just connect mine and u have to turn ur tv volume way down to 0
I hear the speaker tends to turn off after 30 minutes to hour on its own. Some say the fuse is good but just does that.
Bone and Biggie, my name, memories.
You said nothing about the sound. How was the bass?how was the treble?
O dear Lord I did not need the whole shopping experience and Car ride
Caleb Hensley lmao
no shit
One thing I absolutely hate about the IONs is that the usb is for charge only. I just don't understand why it wouldn't support MP3/FLAC playback.
Looks similar to the Ion Total PA Premier from Costco $199.99. Do you know if there’s any actual differences?
I just bought the Costco one and it sounds really good and loud as fuck!
Yes there is a difference the one he got does not have a wireless link button and the one you bought does have a wireless link button meaning you can link 2 speakers together playing at the same time while connected to bluetooth. Both speakers need to be the same
I just ordered the Costco one for $159.99 with free shipping. Got lucky it was the last day on sale $40 off!
I blasted it inside the store when I first saw it. Sounded better and louder than I expected for a PA speaker
Can u charge the glowpro 1500?
Can the bluetooth and mic be used for calls or is it just music audio only?
Hmm my stand legs always close are there ways to lock it
The unit looks refurbished. The led screen on the back was scratched up, and the screws on the back look like they've been opened up before
Michael White hi just bought one, yeah mine scratched up and missing mic top piece, not working, kinda frustrated
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH (@2020)
i can't get my remote to work, any suggestions?
What wireless 🎤 would u recommend for this ?
Will this work with electronic drum set ???
Two stations I listing to don't come in clear can you hook up a antena to it and where
Nice sofa, looks like a lazar. I was fortunate to buy one of these speakers from Sams open box. Great deal.
Can we cover 300 people with this ion speaker ?
@@chamindadissanayake332 Well im sure they will hear it but how big is the area?
@@chamindadissanayake332 no
I like speakers 🔊
I just got mine and in the back of my ion it smells .. near the amp .. it smells like burn plastic
guys don't waste 💰 on plastic, bad choice.
It's probably from the heat sink
That smell is indeed the coating on the heat sink..all electronics and some new speakers off-gas
All the info I needed
Nice video. I'm thinking about purchasing a set. Like your music selection also. Do they get pretty loud without getting distorted?
It's very loud without distortion.
BillyRohrer thanks for the reply. I subscribed to your channel also.

Nice job keep up the good work
Just wondering if the sound quality is good

y not lay it down n put the stand so u dont have to lift it
Can you hook up two of these together if so how?
with an XLR cable, from the bottom left XLR port on your primary speaker, to the port labeled XLR input below the AUX port on your secondary Speaker
Bluetooth.
The ion version of the Altec lighting 2200
Does UA-cam work on it
1st song choice 👌
I love it
Is it rechargable ?

What a fantastic vid!Are you feel interested in testing our microphone?
Are you interested feel to English better
The questions on here had me laughing so hard.. You are expecting way too much from this set up.
Can a guitar be amplified with this? I did not see an input.
I would say if not all, most PA speakers sound good but better with a pro mixer.
Where can I find a pro mixer

At Amazon.
I have a 3 channel pyle pro mixer controllers

So unlike the other ions like the block rocker, this isnt chargeable?
Nope. Needs A/C power

Bought this exact same speaker and I loved it at first!!! Fast forward to 2 months of use and the speaker no longer works. Super disappointed.
If you only had this speaker system for 2 months then broke get your money back otherwisebecause you should have a one year warranty with it
my speaker burn up today and I'm trying to get somebody to get it fixed or if somebody knows where they can get it fixed
