Hi, I set the system up before Xmas to test it as I was booked to do a party on Xmas eve, I had a guy who is well versed in sound systems to help me and eventually got a reasonable sound out of it, but not what you would say is good, I had to buy a decent pair of microphones to do this, the speakers are not good quality either and the effects controls do very little so overall I am not impressed with this system. I have not used it since as I am not confident that it will perform to a satisfactory level. Is there any chance of returning it? Regards, Alan Nash.
