Kustom Review: KPM7200

History:

Purchase: Paid $399 I bought this PA from Hames Music store I was looking for a PA that was louder than most drummers,and has good sound quality, with several user friendly features.Plus I didn't have alot of money to spend on a PA. I just needed something for friendly jam sessions + Partys and such....

What I Like About This Kustom KPM7200: The Kustom KPM7200 is very versitle it has a built in EQ, with 8 Effects all seperately adjustable for each of the 7 channels , 2 of which have direct Acoustic/Electric inputs for straight connection from a guitar w/o a direct box. Has a Monitor Output (Preamp) adjustable seperately on all channels. Playback (RCA type)input for CD player etc.. with Record output(RCA type). The Sound is very deep and Rich coming through the 12" speakers that came as part of the package (KSC12) especially while using the Large Room Reverb Effect. And this unit will get very loud (200 watts) loud enough to get above the drummer!!!!

What I Do NOT Like About The Kustom KPM7200: The tone control is a single knob pot.. You don't have as much control as a unit with seperate High, mids, lows. The Right and Left inputs for Playback are not true stereo inputs there tied together inside the unit for mono output.... but for the price the single tone control and the mono output works just fine.. You would have to spend ALOT more money to go stereo...

Kustom KPM7200 Quality Rating: Rugged built, Handles-one on Amp, two on each speaker, very strong... very easy to transport...

Review Summary: For the money it has been the best bang for the buck I've spent... I was very skeptical at first because it wasn't a Yamaha, Mackie, Fender etc.... but after I got it out of the box I was very pleased at the sound quality and loudness this unit produced for the money I spent..

Rating of this Kustom product: 5
