I see a lot of complaints of this product in regard to how it sounds but I don’t have any issues with mine. Mine sounds good and works just as intended. I am super happy with it. It’s a great and innovative piece of technology I really think Mackie can build off this product and it will be even better over time as they make improvements and as technology advances. Mackie opened up a door of endless possibilities with the Showbox . Again I really like mine, just do your research before you buy it to make sure it has a role to play in what you do and how you play and produce your music . For me and what I do it works and sounds beautifully.

How can I send my signal to another powered speaker? I tried the out, but the sound was horrible,

I don't know how it should sound but usually Mackie stuff sounds good. The bases -3 dB at 56 hz which is pretty good base response Total output I think is 122DB. That's pretty loud.

THEY FAILED ON THE LOOPER THOUGH YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME ( THEY HAVE NO UNDO AND REDO FUNCTION WHAT!! That's like looper 101!! ) especially for this price point that's just ridiculous

So if you want to start over if you want to get rid of something you have to erase the whole thing by holding your foot down and not letting go That is just ridiculous.

I don't know if it's firmware updatable but they need to put that in there or tell people it's coming soon this is what's stopping me from buying this.

For musicians is important quality sound. No 50 buttons and color cables. In video is no one second of sound this device.

This speaker is so bad unfortunately. I'm in love with the mackie freeplay which still is the best small amp for busking ever made. You should have sticked with it improving it. This amp seems like a toy. Great functionality but the quality..Oh my god it sounds so bad when the volume si up. Tons of distortion at low volume already. It's
big and can't manage the volume of the small freeplay. Such a shame I had to return it right away
