Thank you so much for your videos. I like the way you go into detail of how to set the PA up , how you put it together, how it's made, the weight of the product ( very important for us musicians) , etc.

Thanks for taking my call, and chatting it up with me i picked up a pair and gotta say I was impressed with the sound and price point thanks for the recommendation great videos and again thanks for taking my call and talking shop!!

Thank you! By the way, your new setup is sick

We definitely need a side by side comparison with a proper 15 inch two way cabinet. Look forward to seeing and hearing it. Thanks for bringing us this wonderful review. 👍🏾

I heard these today🔥🔥 I Bluetoothed my phone the sound was great. I'm a mobile dj and I'll definitely be buying a pair. Thanks for the added review I'm sold ❤

very well done video! I did go to GC and listened to it which was impressive especially for the price. I did not try the others there for comparison. I'll have to get one.

Just bought this speaker tonight just 1 for now I dj 80s, 90s, house, disco, hip hop and everything in between this is perfect for my gigs small light and portable

The link in and lout feature is dope for connecting 2 arrays and making sure their set up is the same.. really smart

This was very helpful sir thank you I purchased two pairs today

Thank you. Great video. Sure helped me make a decision

I really enjoy your reviews. Would request if you can do a review of soundtown CARPO-L2 column speakers.

I bought before seeing this but all you have said is spot on. Big Harbinger fan for years. I use 2312's, 2315's and 4115's for my larger venues but the MLS1000 is perfect for wineries, coffee shops and smaller pubs. And for the price...no brainer!!

How does a pair of the MLS1000's compare to a pair of 2312's?

@dannyhand8379

Жыл бұрын

@Riley Keller Both sound great. Set up for your venue would determine which. Around 50 seated listeners, an MLS 1000 perfect. 50 to 100, I would use a pair of them. When you have a more active audience, I would stand a couple of 2312's or 2315's. If you are just starting out, there is no better way to go than the 2312's. Sound quality, price, and ease of setup cannot be beaten. Good luck.

Hey @expertisland thank you for this upload. Something I am wondering is do both columns produce an identical sound? I was working with one of these recently and noticed that only the top column produced highs and the base driver. I don't see any additional information online concerning the second column, if it produces sound and if so what range. Thanks!

A comparison with normal active speakers would be very useful. 👍 Maybe you can make an other video and compare the 2 type of sounding and the SPL of both system. Thanks!

You would have to compare them with sub woofers.. I have a pair of the MLS900 's Do a 4 piece Johnny CASH tribute using them at a few shows.. These would her smaller shows with about 175 people. The biggest advantage is it is a very easy setup and doesn't break my back carrying the equipment in. On top of that it sounds really good. Would I use them at at our 1000 people show, well heck no...

I'm gonna go check them out. I'm curious 🤔

What's better overall in your opinion between this and the blast king? Also can you do a new video on the updated blast king version?

Our band uses turbo sound ip 2000's but because they've been in the shop twice in three years we bought a pair of harbingers. We have a 5 piece and usually Mike instruments. Do you think these will do as a replacement system when needed?

I have the Harbinger mls900 ....awsome , ok not for 100 people but yes for 50 -75 people . its very well matched ....now i want the mls 1000 but im going to wait till they come out with maybe a mls1200 or mls 1500

Should I run an acoustic with a DI, it’s just a little to clangy and can’t seem to find the balance

Suggestions: Would like to see harbinger include a master volume. In real world very handy for live gigs. Don't expect ev30m or Bose comparison. If you are on a budget this is the way to go.

I enjoyed your video very much. I bought one ms1000. I am very happy with it. I use it for home use. I was surprised that it was an affordable loudspeaker at $699 plus tax. Your information was very helpful. I am excited to own another ms1000. My home sounds like a night club . I save lots of money buying separate audio components for home use. It has a smooth sound and bass integrates well with the array. I can enjoy loud music again. I stream music from KZread. I brought home the night club sound. It sounds great at high volume as well low listening levels. I am not disappointed but very happy.

Great review. I purchased a pair after watching your review. They ave been great in both indoor and outdoor events. I wanted to add a powered sub like the Harbinger s2318. How does this system work with a powered sub? Do the Subs on the MLS1000's interfere with the main s2318 subwoofer? Any isight or advice on set up would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

@expertisland

10 ай бұрын

You just don't want to cut any of the bass on the array. The top and bottom are made to work in sync. So, adding the sub after the array is the safest way to connect. Note that it's not the only way.

I was thinking of getting one on these and plugging into one of the channels of my mls1000. I put a few vocal mics, kick drum, snare drum and some overheads into this board and feed to channel on mls1000, won’t it be too much for a single channel?

What wood be better, this setup or the mackie flex?

ive been kind of looking around for an all in one system that sounds better than my EV ZLX 12p. I like the EV's, but they have such poor bass response you just have to have a sub for any dance event.. You think these are decent for 100 or less dances/proms? And how the reliability? Demo sounds pretty good on this video...

IF i AM USING A MIXER CAN i PLUG THE MIXER INTO THE LEFT MONO AND RIGHT 1/4 INCH JACKS?

How would you connect a 3rd MLS1000 to that setup making 1 master out and 2 slaves/link in?

Bose L1 Pro 8 would be a rival or is this a bigger stronger line array? Im split because of the app control on the Bose but I heard them both side by side and having trouble deciding. Thanks for the great review

I am bummed, I ordered the MLS 1000 and received just the bottom and only one UPS tracking number on invoice. I have purchased a MLS900's about 6 months ago, It shipped with two UPS tracking numbers, one for the sub and one for the column, when calling customer support they told me they need 7 to 10 business days to figure this out. It is really easy, THEY DIDN'T SHIP IT!!! or there would be two tracking numbers on the invoice.

Has anyone hooked up more then two of these just wondering, also is it better to smart link them use both input ones of the speakers thank you

Thanks for the video - very helpful and I just went out and purchased a used MLS1000. I have a question about the 2 column speakers that fit on top of the bass subwoofer - does the column unit that slides directly on top of the subwoofer actually have speaker arrays in it or not? My MLS1000 doesn't have any sound coming out of the bottom column. I've heard some say it is only a stand for the top column speaker array - is this true? If not, I have a problem with the bottom column speaker array. Please adise. Thanks!

the bottom is like a pole to get the right height, most of the arrays out there are set up like this.

Am I supposed to be getting sound from the lower column? If not, what’s it’s purpose?

Is the MLS 1000 louder than the bose l1 pro 16 and are there any column speakers more powerful then the bose

Great info as always. Let me ask...Would you/Could you take the MLS1000 and then sync it to an MLS900. So using the 1000 as the main input and the 900 as just a clone for what the 1000 is sending out or is could there be an issue with the difference in watts? I have the 1000 and our singer has a 900.
