Guitar Center MLS-1000 guitar-center.pxf.io/yRO9VV
The Harbinger MLS1000 Personal Line Array gives a musician on the go the perfect balance of compact mobility, Big Sound, and versatile connectivity - including 5 Lines in, Bluetooth® audio, superior tuning, and innovative Smart Stereo™ capability. Small enough to carry along with a guitar and gear bag, its sound is big enough to fill the whole venue.
Superior Tuning
Larger column speakers have a superior tuning for warm, solid mids and articulate, detailed highs, while the sub kicks out bigger bass than similar line arrays. Wide room coverage extends 150 degrees to reach your entire audience. From intimate vocals to full-bodied guitars to bass-pounding electronics, this system delivers.
Easy to Carry
You get this big speaker sound and versatile capability at the same time as small system mobility. The base is a comfortable one-hand carry (Only 33 pounds), and columns travel hands-free in an included across-the-body shoulder bag. So your other hand is free your guitar, keyboard or gear bag when you’re loading in for gigs.
Smart Stereo
For even bigger sound, get a pair of ML1000s and enjoy Smart Stereo routing, with easy volume and tone control for the whole rig from the master unit. Connect all your inputs to the first unit, and it smartly routes left and right to the separate speakers, while putting mono signals right in the center of your mix. Do all the volume and tone control from the first unit, for the full-wide stereo rig.
Rugged Roadworthy Design
Columns mount with an exclusive spring-loaded ball-bearing mechanism that easily slides, and positively clicks into place. Column fronts are steel instead of plastic, and the base cabinet protects knobs and connections in recessed areas. A padded shoulder bag protects columns while making them easy to carry over the shoulder.
Wide, Full Room Coverage
The custom column speakers are arranged to create 2 outward-angled arcs of sound, directing balanced and consistent audio throughout a venue. This arrangement also lets the speaker simultaneously serve as both the house sound system, and the performer’s on-stage monitor. So you don’t have to bring extra speakers to ensure you and your audience both hear clearly.
Features
Smart Stereo for stereo playback when two units are wired together
1000W peak output; ultra-wide dispersion pattern
10" woofer and an array of six 2.75" drivers in the column section
4 independent channels and up to 8 simultaneous inputs
Bluetooth connectivity

I bought before seeing this but all you have said is spot on. Big Harbinger fan for years. I use 2312's, 2315's and 4115's for my larger venues but the MLS1000 is perfect for wineries, coffee shops and smaller pubs. And for the price...no brainer!!

@rileykeller3651 Год назад

How does a pair of the MLS1000's compare to a pair of 2312's?

@dannyhand8379 Год назад

@Riley Keller Both sound great. Set up for your venue would determine which. Around 50 seated listeners, an MLS 1000 perfect. 50 to 100, I would use a pair of them. When you have a more active audience, I would stand a couple of 2312's or 2315's. If you are just starting out, there is no better way to go than the 2312's. Sound quality, price, and ease of setup cannot be beaten. Good luck.

Your information was very helpful. I am excited to own another ms1000. My home sounds like a night club . I save lots of money buying separate audio components for home use. It has a smooth sound and bass integrates well with the array. I can enjoy loud music again. I stream music from RU-vid. I brought home the night club sound. It sounds great at high volume as well low listening levels. I am not disappointed but very happy.

How does this system work with a powered sub? Do the Subs on the MLS1000's interfere with the main s2318 subwoofer? Any isight or advice on set up would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

@expertisland 11 месяцев назад

You just don't want to cut any of the bass on the array. The top and bottom are made to work in sync. So, adding the sub after the array is the safest way to connect. Note that it's not the only way.

On sale at Musicians Friend for $600 now. Anyhow, I just hate it when you just play some music. It is sooo important to know how the Mic preamps are, in terms of volume and fidelity. I had a Bose S1 Pro and its mic preamps were pathetic. I traded it in for a new EV Everse8 and wow, WHAT a difference! It is truly a next generation PA speaker! Can you use the line array without the spacer? I also have a JBL Eon One and at home I don't use the spacers. It too has poor mic preamps so I use a Mackie mixer.

Great Question Mad Ness, First Note Yamaha Stagepas1K cost about twice the Price of the MLS1000, The 1K has a Great App that runs everything, and The Link is set up with XLR 3 pin running unbalanced so there is a send and Return in one Cable.

@robertsundberg2306 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video - very helpful and I just went out and purchased a used MLS1000. I have a question about the 2 column speakers that fit on top of the bass subwoofer - does the column unit that slides directly on top of the subwoofer actually have speaker arrays in it or not? My MLS1000 doesn't have any sound coming out of the bottom column. I've heard some say it is only a stand for the top column speaker array - is this true? If not, I have a problem with the bottom column speaker array. Please adise. Thanks!

After connecting my Shure 98 mic the volume knob did not produce sound until it was turned up approximately 60 percent than at 70 percent sound came blasting out. Returned and tried another with same result. Then tried store model same result. Strange because my mls 800 works beautifully. As soon as you start to turn the volume knob it produces sound and slowly increases to max. Hope the mls 1000 has fixed this major problem. Price point is great if the unit functions properly.
