Members Clbe Posted August 18, 2003 Members Share Posted August 18, 2003 I'm looking for general feedback or testimonial's on SoundTech (U.S. Music) pro-audio gear. Good or bad is fine. I just want to know what it is like and if it's worth any investment in time and money. Clbe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RickJ Posted August 18, 2003 Members Share Posted August 18, 2003 Like a lot of their comparably-priced competition, they are not the most rugged things on the market. (Notable exception: Peavey takes a beating.) I once opened up a brand-new, fresh-out-of-the-box SoundTech console to troubleshoot a power supply problem and found a factory-installed cardboard Jiffy cornbread box as an insulator between the power supply's PC and the mainframe. The case's flex had broken the PC board in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundtecwannabe Posted August 18, 2003 Members Share Posted August 18, 2003 Some of their items are ok, some of them are poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted August 18, 2003 Members Share Posted August 18, 2003 The PS802 is definitely a neat little power amp to have lying around. 16lbs,single rack space,and a healthy 400 watts/channel @ 4 ohms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members abzurd Posted August 19, 2003 Members Share Posted August 19, 2003 We use a Soundtech 8 channel powered mixer for band practice. It's a discontinued model purchased via ebay for a couple hundred bucks. 200W @ 8 ohm, 300W @ 4 and 400W @ 2. Convection cooled, but is pretty heavy and well built. Just bought a used PS 802, but haven't received it yet. Frankly this is the only Soundtech item that regularly surfaces here. It's a fairly unique blend of light weight, small size and usable wattage. Suitable live for a pair of efficient 12" monitors at 8 ohms or can be used at 4 ohms or 8 ohms bridged. Their speaker offerings seems hum drum, although I have never used, heard, or read anything about them (which may tell you something right there). Apart from the PS802 nothing in their line seems to stand out as an exceptional value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members e-b-e Posted August 19, 2003 Members Share Posted August 19, 2003 A factory installed Jiffy cornbread box!!! Now that's funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaBender Posted August 19, 2003 Members Share Posted August 19, 2003 I have the PL600M Monitor Amp, 600 watts at two ohms with a cooling fan and 9-band eq. I've used it to drive two 12" wedges and two Sonic hot-spot type monitors with good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
