Are you saying I should of gone for an 8" or a 10"?

I was told that 12" was best for vocals, what size cone where you thinking? afraid its all to late now as I have ordered it all, but hear is a link to my mixer manual anyway https://media63.musictribe.com/media/PLM/data/docs/P0571/1202FX_1002FX_QSG_WW.pdf Go down to page 8 and 9 and you will see the main out and monitor ports. Not sure if they are balanced or unbalanced

NO! this 3.5mm cable I ordered from ebay is for the monitor not the PA speakers

The problem is the longer the lead gets, the more resistance it puts up, so I don't know if 10 meter is to long and I should just go for the 5 This is just what I purchased Its a 10 meter 3.5mm jack extension cable that I will use on my monitor I made sure I got a good quality one as its a little amount of signal going down the cable for a lot of length! They say its oxygen free copper so conducts electricity better I plan to tape it to my microphone cable with insulation tape about every meter apart so to keep the wires tidy https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10M-Metre-3-5mm-Stereo-Jack-Headphone-Extension-Cable-Aux-Audio-Lead-OFC-GOLD/291289861099?epid=1662370259&hash=item43d23a8beb:g:j4YAAOSwE1tcboRN

Before I go and order all of this, including the cables Are you 100% they are a 1/4" plug input on the back of the speaker as it is very hard to see from the photo Anyway, 2 of these cable for bough speakers https://www.thomann.de/gb/fun_generation_ins_10.htm And again the speakers itself (4th photo) https://www.thomann.de/gb/the_box_pa_12_dsp.htm And I'll get myself a pair of speaker stands as well https://www.thomann.de/gb/fun_generation_speaker_stand_pair.htm Thanks

Yer thats the beter type of the 2 types of cables, I have 2 myself

When I was last in Dawsons I noticed they had 2 brands of stagg, the cheaper one was in a red packet and coiled up tight. The more expensive one was in a yellow packet and was wrapped up properly in its natural coil. I imagine they coil them tight to save on shipping costs, but wires, cables and hose pipes have a natural coil and weaken/ break/ kink if you coil them tight and are permanently like that forever. Needless to say if you want good quality cables, never buy the ones tightly packed

I don't know, I wish there was some kind of buyers guide out there with mathematical equations. But from what I have researched I'm going to aim for 125 decibels and have 2 speakers

Is that wattage per speaker or total wattage? I don't think wattage is a good guide because brands like Yamaha are much more efficient then there budget cheaper brands like "the box" brand we are talking about. Always go on decibels

I had a look at all the brands Thomman sell for cables, quite a few and differ in price. I think the first one "fun gereration" is what they use on there bundle packages https://www.thomann.de/gb/fun_generation_ins_10.htm https://www.thomann.de/gb/the_sssnake_sk3613_kabel.htm https://www.thomann.de/gb/instrument_cables.html?pg=3&ls=25 https://www.thomann.de/gb/pro_snake_tpi_6.htm https://www.thomann.de/gb/sommer_cable_the_spirit_xxl_instr_30.htm https://www.thomann.de/gb/cordial_cai5bk_instrumentenkabel.htm https://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_prof._cable_tweed_red_45m.htm https://www.thomann.de/gb/monster_cable_classic_instrument_6_ww.htm

I was told if its unbalanced to unbalanced it should be OK but not unbalanced to balanced Do you think I would get a better signal if I went from my mixer from 1/4" TRS to XLR to the speaker rather then 1/4" TRS from my mixer to 1/4" TRS to the speakers?

OK forund it thanks

unfortunately its a budget mixer https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Behringer-XENYX-1002FX-Mixer/2A7 Do you think XLR is better then 1/4" for audio quality or are the fitting just much stronger and will last longer?

What is jack? phono/ RCA or 1/4" phone?

my browser must not be displaying what your browser displays then, but if you say you can see a 3 year warranty written on the page then I will take your word for it Regarding the cable for it, from the photo it looks like one male XLR and 2 female XLR ports Im I right in thinking that if I got myself 1 male or female XLR to 1/4" male cable then it should do the job? Since there was no forum for speakers though this one was the best for it I am a solo singer to backing tracks only. The cones of the speakers are 12" and I was told that 12" was best for vocals and 15" was best for bass

Another question I have about these speaker, if anyone can help me out please Is what cable do I need to purchase so I can go from my mixer to the speakers? As it is very difficult to see from the photos and make out from the description I see an XLR port in photo 4, and 2 other ports, in the description is says 2 XLR/Jack Inputs. Can't see why it would need 2 input cables. But my mixer main out ports are 1/4" Thanks PS also. The speakers are rated at Maximum SPL: 128 dB. With a pair of them how big of a venue do you think I could work/ cover?

All I see below the price is the following (copy and pasted from the page) €177 £156 Free shipping incl. VAT The price in GBP is a guideline price only! Available immediately Add to wish list sales rank in this product group 26 at thomann.de 1668 item number 415599 sales unit 1 piece available since October 2017 Total Rating features sound quality

Can't see that in the description I don't read reviews because a lot of the time the companies selling/ making it write the reviews them selfs

So if I bough a pair of these then, do you think it would be OK for a smallish gig? https://www.thomann.de/gb/the_box_pa_12_dsp.htm Hopefully someone will call on hear later that has had personal experiences with "The box speakers" Wondering what they will sound like

They sell a lot of these bundle kits with these speakers included This is the speaker I had in mind https://www.thomann.de/gb/the_box_pa_12_dsp.htm But I see nothing about warranty on the description! So you have had issues with there gear in the past and they sorted it for you no problem?

Hi all Has anyone heard of "the box speakers"? I have googled it and all there is, is a company based in Germany selling them called Thomman. There is no mention of "the Boxes" web site. They are quite cheap in price for the sound they produce so trying to work out if they are some domestic rubbish made somewhere in China that are masses produced and a different badge/ sticker is put on them for each customer. Or are they proper speaker for professionals using them to gig with every weekend Looked at them for sale on the Thomman web site and there is no mention of manufactures warranty and since the company is based in Germany it would seam to be very difficult to sort out if they went wrong somewhere later on
