Quick words
So I have had the Q12A for a few days. Not much opportunity to play loud,or at all, due to work but I can say a few things.
1) It arrived in perfect condition just like other gear I have ordered from the Matrix crew.
2) I know it is rated at 80X80 for dispersion but it seems wider to me, love that.
3) Loud ? Well i never got my NX wide open, I dare not open this thing up. It is plenty loud at half gain on the amp and 8 o'clock on the AF2. The unit is quiet. Can barely hear the fan.
4) Form, have a look at the picture. I like it a lot. It is light and small. Sorry for sideways picture....don't know how to fix that.
5) Sounds, to me it is more guitar amp sounding than any Powered wedge I have used ( QSC,Yamaha,NX) etc. It may be becasue the GM50 is not as flat....more guitar focused if I may say. It has two ports on the front, bass comes out of there nice and smooth. Cleans, crunch, hi gain !!!
Two things left for me to do before I complete my analysis. Do a side by side with the NX which is a phenomenal wedge, and use it at full band practice. Unfortunately we just finished a show and have a break.
I wish the underside had rubber bars instead of the wood. This would grip better on my rig, small and easy thing to fix. More playing ,listening, testing to do.
Real happy so far.
