Studiomaster shipping low-cost monitor/PA system

Studiomaster is now shipping the new LIVESYS5 portable micro -PA and stage monitor throughout Europe. 

Measuring 290x210x175mm and weighing in at 3.3kg – the 150W self-powered, integrated mixer, speaker system can be used a PA or as a personal stage monitor system, either floor-standing or mountable on a microphone stand for close personal monitoring (for drummers and percussionists, keyboard players, solo instrumentalists and singers, or DJs). 

The class-D powered 5-inch speaker system, provides 150W continuous and 300W peak power, and features a low noise 3-channel mixer section with 2 mic/line inputs on XLR (balanced) / TRS (unbalanced) combo connectors and a line input on stereo phono or 35mm jack connectors. 3-band EQ, switchable 48v phantom power and on-board effect are all included. 

For monitor applications, a rear mounted XLR / TRS input enables connection of a stage monitor signal. An XLR ‘thru’ output is mic / line level selectable (with switchable phantom power) to enable supply of mic or line signals from the LIVESYS5 to a FOH mixer, or to feed an additional monitor speaker.

It retails around £139 (€200).

“Expanding our portable PA range is a key element in increasing our presence in the MI market,” said Studiomaster General Manager (and Sales and Marketing Manager), Patrick Almond. “Products like the LIVESYS5 are key in opening up new opportunities for us; being so versatile, the LIVESYS5 offers more than just a portable PA, it is also designed for personal monitoring, using the included mic stand mounting kit. 

“The first shipment of the LIVESYS5 has now landed in the UK, and we are shipping the back orders. LIVESYS5, follows on the terrific success of other latest PA products, the CLUBXS mixer series and DRIVE powered speaker series. These products are rapidly re-establishing a clear and cohesive product portfolio for Studiomaster that is improving brand recognition.”
