Song With Bass Guitar Sounds Like Autotune

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.

Love it so far. Like the other reviewer, I bought it as a guitar amp since it was priced so competitively against a good amp. It has more functionality with the mixer over a traditional amp. with 800Watts, it has the bass needed to push a drum kit and bass player. The dishes in my china cabinet were literally hopping. I will return to revise the update with more time.

I never track vocals, bass or acoustic guitar without the TLA100. It's amazingly easy to use, and sounds excellent!

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

Like the fact that it comes in a case. Sounds good.

[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!!!

Pure crisp sounds and booming bass.

I use this system for production and song composition and it is amazing. The sounds are very realistic; from the french horns to the grand piano to the different world instruments, these are top notch samples. Not only to I like the realism but the variety and clarity of sounds provide all you need especially if you are working alone. Not a fan of the fact that you HAVE TO BUY THE ILOK USB KEY, but other than that I'd but it twice!

Used to cary multi effect system for my bass guitar
