Defender Mercury 55

Advantages: Surround and not fake sound! Large dimensions in this case are not so negative, because thanks to him, the sound is not "lost". Two outputs for "Jack" on the active column, it is very good! Although a microphone, even connect an electric guitar! Convenient and functional controls. Live bass and clear highs.

Disadvantages: - The size.
- Projector (LED (very bright))
- Poor performance at maximum volume.
- Lack of shielding at midpoint.

Comment: These columns I have since 2005, and throughout the time they deliver! I bought for 2500 rubles. For me, it's just perfect! I do not need shielding, because it is nice to watch the speaker membrane go, making a malicious growl! :) Size does not matter! A sound on the "half" I have enough above the roof (and the neighbors, by the way, too!). So, these are type columns: price is QUALITY !!!

Advantages: Two inputs for microphones and a reverb "feel in the stadium." In principle, bought only because of this.
Adequate price (2700 in May 2010) with good parameters.
Height. Excellent replace chairs and stools when a lot of people :)
Strict appearance (if you paint over the inscription KARAOKE)

Disadvantages: LED ... It is treated with an additional resistor or a trite black tape.
Simplify the design. He was unpleasantly surprised to find the absence of filters (there is only a capacitor on the squeaker) and a weaker transformer.

Comment: With a transformer of 13.5V, the power of the microcircuit will be about 18W per channel (with distortion <1%). Well, with 15V, which was previously set, you can count on 20-21W, but this is the maximum. 30 watts per package is a blatant lie :) Nevertheless, over the past summer, this set has worked many concerts at various cottages and huts on request and is still alive. Speakers with a margin, when connected to the 2 channel on the TDA7293 through normal crosses - the difference is noticeable to the naked ear. In general, the power amplifier is very much saved in the second edition. Perhaps because of this, and different reviews. If you have entrances and exit on the tulips are vertical congratulations! If it is horizontal - alas and ah .. Of simple modifications, I can advise you to solder additional capacitors, at least the same 6800 μF25V, parallel to the existing ones (we observe polarity!). Distortion will be reduced at close to maximum power. Well, put the filters if they are not :)

Advantages: I bought this model because of the price quality and, of course, the size, you can’t put it on the shelf, but you can easily take it in your hands and pull it to the cottage or base with a beech, so I bought them for this. Sound on the nature in general is enough! Very comfortable .... here

Disadvantages: Since they entertain on all holidays, birthdays do not have enough speaker protection so they have to drive a drunk friend into the smoke .... for he remembers which thread danamik.

Comment: I comment them as an excellent purchase with hands for 2p. The price is excellent and the sound is consistent. Good holidays to all))))

Advantages: Excellent speakers, rich sound, stylish design. Previously, there were TopDevice TDE 280 (2 columns + sub), which were safely covered, having fulfilled the warranty period. So, in comparison with TopDevice, this Defender gives the same bass (despite the absence of a subwoofer), and the same high frequencies. But the mids at Defender are much better. So, compared with many, better than these only top Mikrolaby, but there and the price tag is completely different.

Disadvantages: For one year of operation, defects were not found. Well, except that the lack of protection of the speakers, but for tidy people is not a problem ...

Comment: The best value for money, IMHO ...

Advantages: Clear deep sound, good bass, size, price

Disadvantages: a short power cable and Input, the light bulb is bright))), there is no griffle on the tweeter, well, not 60 watts in them, 50 more quickly.

Comment: it is better not to make it to the floor, and then the neighbors will hang themselves) someone here wrote about the insufficient bass) I can say that I had to turn it down, and then terribly bless (as a sub)

Advantages: Clean, loud sound, good bass, karaoke, design - bomb, the best price-quality ratio.

Disadvantages: Bright power indicator, dazzles in the dark.

Comment: The basses of these speakers will not replace the basses of a separate subwoofer, but they are still quite powerful. For the price of such high-quality computer speakers, you are unlikely to find more!

Advantages: Do not listen to those who say that the bass is not enough, these speakers are not made for loudness, but for the volume of sound, I moved away from them to meta 3 the bass was average, but you should go at least a meter away from them, and in addition sit behind them or from the side, your ears will explode from the bass !!!
P.S and another floor shake nehilo)))

Disadvantages: Well, I think that there is no full 30vat there, but there are 20 on any. and the power light illuminated the floor of the room, but this is not a problem I put a piece of paper under the tape and sealed it)))
but otherwise no complaints)

Comment: This is the best that can be purchased for such money!)))

Advantages: High-quality clear sound, perfectly transmits sound in flac format, even when playing back from an integrated sound.
Price is acceptable.
Form Factor - Stylish design, not disco, but for placement in 20 squares, it’s the most that the neighbors would come to and obviously don’t listen to music (on 3 nights)))

Disadvantages: The version "under the tree" is most likely a plastic-coated chipboard, small speakers easily melt, and you can easily get out of the position with a vacuum cleaner. Made in China, and small surface roughness can not be avoided.
It is a pity there is no output to the headphones, with a built-in amp it would be great.
Lovers of karaoke, or just lovers of singing into the microphone - the input resistance is very strong so you need a good microphone, otherwise you could hear it, but even here you can get out of the situation with a computer .. (I didn’t try whether the active noise level of the resonance will work).

Comment: I watched for a long time, took a look at the price and the light converged on this model, but only decided to buy it not in the Internet shop, but as I most often do in Nikse, only with delivery, and with a guaranteed guarantee (no one will tell by the front end).
By the way, far away, the speakers are positioned as computer, but I do not recommend placing it next to the computer, otherwise you will definitely have to visit an otolaryngologist, I advise you to buy a cable (tulips) and an adapter for a mini jack before buying, if you don’t have a professional sound) more voluminous and almost real Hi-Fi. Now it remains only to buy a light installation and we can assume that at home a dance hall is ready.
And remember, whatever the speakers, the main thing that the music was good! Good luck!

Advantages: Excellent reproduces both the bass and the high frequencies (you can clearly hear the difference between MP3 and FLAC), the durable case (the strength was checked more than once))), the cool appearance, you can even say brutal ... shorter than the dignity of advantages.

Disadvantages: Unprotected tweeters, from my own experience I know that people very often ask themselves the question “what will happen if you stick your finger in there?”.

Comment: I bought speakers with a friend-DJ, in their price category they turned out to be the best solution, except maybe with the exception of Microlab SOLO. In general, even after a year and a half I can not get enough of them!

Advantages: 1. The sound is clear, there is no background in silence.
2. Price / workmanship.
3. Appearance.
For your money - this is the best that is on the market of karaoke speakers today (Jan.2010)

Disadvantages: No mesh overlays to protect the speakers. Upper easily prominaetsya finger. PROTECT FROM CHILDREN and other pets! Regulators are smooth, it is necessary to degrease with vodka sometimes.

Comment: Columns fully correspond to those stated in the description. Well, maybe the "Soviet" 30 watts are not there, but there are 25 in each. Two tone controls allow you to create a tint for every taste, and a half-meter case does not “pinch” the sound.
_____ Room 25m2 perfectly sounded from a laptop and microphone;). The concert in the assembly hall certainly cannot be arranged, but the neighbors from the bottom five minutes later began to knock on the ceiling. They went nafig, holidays all the same, and the time is only 18 hours. For microphones there are controls - volume and "echo effect", which made it almost feel like in the stadium.
_____ "A very bright blue LED with a directional beam and it's bad" - some say. I also liked this feature, as a light in the night room, when you need to walk to the kitchen. You can put a sticker on the video tape and there will be a scatter stain on the socket (checked).
_____ In general, these are excellent computer-television speakers without a subwoofer, but with good, "deep" bass, without a "swotting" for a very modest price (in Polaris, where I took over 2700r, because I wanted to "here and now"). In the store, the managers themselves, upon seeing the device, were very surprised at the price and the aggregates. They said that analogs come from 4-5yr. Given that the guarantee is now for all 1 year, IMHO there is no point in taking with the built-in amp more expensive options.
_____ I recommend everyone except the hard-nosed audiophiles!
