Forward Metal Song With Heavy Bass Guitar

I am a Bass Player. I like to hook up my bass to my computer for recording or practicing. The audio out of my Apple iMac always had problems handling the low frequencies of a bass guitar through headphones. Through the analog headphone port of my iMac, I would always have distortion, compression and muddy low frequency response. The AudioEngine D1 DAC solved the problem. At first, I would stream audio back through the USB port. Then, I bought myself an optical cable that has a 3.5mm mini-toslink one end and a full size toslink on the other. I hooked up the mini-toslink end to the headphone out of my iMac which is designed to support both 3.5mm analog audio or 3.5mm optical audio. Then, I played an HD version of Creams's N.S.U. song at 24-bit 192KHz resolution. Suddenly, I heard magical things I had never heard before. I can actually hear very clearly how the recording engineer mixed the song. For example, for that particular song, Eric Clapton's voice is slightly panned right in the stereo image while Jack Bruce's voice is panned slightly left. The bass is panned pretty hard on the right side. The guitar is panned on the left side and the drum is right down the middle. Really Cool! Also, there is some spatial dimension to the recording. You hear the room. Highly recommended.

I use this to input an active pickup heavy metal guitar into my mixer direct. My only gripe is the inside of the XLR ports is plastic. Other than that works perfectly.

Ideal if you play bass or guitar and sing. It gives you space from your instrument.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speakers audiobquality comes second to none!! Soon as it arrived I tore open the box to reveal a tower that comes up to my lower chest. Its a monster! The bass that comes off this thing without bass boost is impressive and with BB on it takes it to a new level, whole house was shaking with 30% volume, Id say a bit too kuch bass for indoor use. I have to keep it relatively low volume and had to use the JBL One app to lower the bass in the EQ and still its very punchy. I will definitely be using this for all our upcoming parties as it is loud!! The light show is amazing and I can look at it for hours withiut it becoming too stale. I like the sound pad effects you can customize in the One app as well. Probably wont use the mic and guitar inputs much but its nice to have. The chromecast audio is a bit iffy as it loses connection sometimes mid song on a strong 5 ghz network thats 500 mbps. Dont know what thats about. Another gripe is that when I turn on the bass boost from the app and turn on ounchy bass, I leave the app to change a song The bass boost appears off in the app and I have to toggle back on seems like a bug that must be fixed in the next firmware update I guess. Other than that the button on the top works flawlessly but would like the remote option. Its definitely worth the price tag and anyone will be lucky to hear this beast of a speaker. JBL is simply the best when it comes to audio!

I bought the Bose Bass Module 700 with my Soundbar 700 the day it released. I have been watching movies every day since. The sound is just incredible! When I play music like, The O'Jays - Ship Ahoy. I never knew that there was a storm brewing during the song. I had previously only heard the rain in the song as the most prevalent indication of inclement weather. When I played the song even at a modest level with this new system. I could hear thunder rolling in the background of the singers. This new setup is nothing short of amazing!!!

Used to cary multi effect system for my bass guitar

This is the best you can have, love it. Heavy metal and well built.

I use this cable to play guitar outside on the street. I like this one better than other cables with shiny metal ends. You would think that the metal would be better... it is not. While playing outside, the sealed bushings at the ends keep out moisture. Those bushings also prevent the cable from pulling at the internal connections. And the cable ends are light. I have used many of these cables and I have Not managed to Destroy one yet. None have failed me. Recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like how JBL upped the functionality of this smaller speaker. Previous small speakers wouldn't have extra functions like skip ahead a song, or back a song. This one does. Previous speakers would basically just have play/pause and volume. It's nice to have that if you would use this as like a shower speaker or something and don't want your phone in with you. It is rated as water proof to a degree, 30 minutes at a meter, so a shower is fine. It has a nice heavy feel and you can tell with the sound, suprisingly loud and good bass sound. I also like that you can now pair it to other speakers in it's class, creating a stereo sound. I might have to get another one to make use of that option. Really sharp look. The clip is heavy duty enough that I'm not worried about it breaking or not holding up. There's a JBL Portable app for controlling the sound EQ which is nice. They have a "playtime boost" mode where it's louder, and also saves battery which it does at the expense of the EQ sound. So that mode sounds a little tinny, but it's definitely louder and would maybe be good for podcast listening or audio books where you want a little more volume. The back has padded grips so you can set it on it's back and it won't wreck the finish or anything like that.

What you see is what you get. Metal construction, solid but not heavy.
