chelgrian Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm looking at buying some small active cabs they need to do double duty as monitors or PA so specs need to be - Asymmetric cabinet that can function as a wedge- Active- Light, closer to 10Kg than 20Kg- Built in socket for pole mounting So far I've come up with the HK Pro 10XA as a candidate and that's about it is there anything else on the market I've missed? Does anyone know of anywhere where I could hire or get a pair of the HK on demo from in the east/south east of England? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Pearce Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I know I say it a lot, but the ZxA1 is great at this sort of thing. It might struggle to do full on rock and roll monitors, but it is surprisingly pokey for its size and weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hk is a very good box at a very good price for what you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you missed a line or two off you spec?For what you've put down, just about every speaker company makes something that fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can see RCF NX-M fits but is ~1K a box. TT is far too expensive.QSC KW sort of fits but is also ~1K. In terms of the plastic boxes available most of them don't seem to be shaped to be used on their side as a wedge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesperrett Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 In terms of the plastic boxes available most of them don't seem to be shaped to be used on their side as a wedge. Many of them have angled sections near the back which allow them to be set at 30 degrees or 45 degrees to vertical. They may not be obvious from looking at them though. Others have stands that can be used to set them at the required angle. James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave SA Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Most ABS speakers are designed for use as a wedge! EV SX series being excluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Riley Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 While the RCF art 310a isn't wood- it sounds great and comes in at about half your budget. Lots of people around me seem to be buying a few pairs at the moment for portable PA stuff. I've used them quite a lot and would definitely recommend them!
