This is a great system. I tour with guitar/piano/voice gigs and needed light PA that sounds clear and carries to 100 people. I have been very satisfied with sound, portability and reverb effects (on voice). Audience always feeds back "your sound is so clear."

CONS: The cons are not dealbreakers, but savvy minds might want to know that... 1) Roller bag is okay, but does not fit the stands and when filled it is too heavy to lift in my car. 2) EQ system does not have "mid" EQ per channel nor an overall EQ but truthfully, it sounds great despite this.

Looks like in their new upgrade they include much better features including general overall graphic EQ, 3 bags - for stands and power amp and speakers. AND monitor inputs as well as feed to master mixing board.

If you have the cash, I'd go straight for the upgrade. If you want a great deal, get this one.

this system is not only loud but clear as crystal! my band and me played a show in a small backyard. 2 guitars, drums and 2 vocal mics(both amps were miked)2 amps and 2 vocals goin through this thing?! it was amazing how clear it was! we were really rockn it to! you wont believe that THE COPS CAME at our last song and told us to turn it down! by the way it was at HALF volume! this would be an incredible system if it had more channels.

Bought this system without testing and was deeply disappointed. Wanted to use for acoustic sets but the sound was shrill and hurt my ears. I found all aspects about this to be poor and it went back. Bought Yamaha system - sounds great!

I've had the profile one PA for over 3 years and couldn't have asked for more. I initially got them for my solo shows (vocal/guitar) and that's what I still use them for but they've come in handy as monitors for band shows too. I've dropped them, left them in my trunk through all sorts of weather and played them louder than they should go. Yes they might cut out when played in the hot summer sun for too long, they don't have much of a low end (at all, if your serious about live sound), and the speaker cabinet will crack after about the 6th drop, but they little thing just keeps working for me and still sounds great in cafes, restaurants, wine bars, house parties, weddings and small stages. This system has been my bread winner since I bought them so I say it was definitely money well spent.

This was the first personal system that I ever purchased when I started doing small on-the-road solo gigs. When I received the Kustom Profile One, I was disappointed with its size. The speaker stands were squatty. And what's with those wimpy speaker cables? However, when I plugged everything in and got it going, I was amazed! Something about those line-array speakers shoot the sound with clear quality. I've assembled systems using better brands pumping three times the power that still don't sound as good as this package.

The powered mixer is constructed to screw onto a mic stand, so you can have it right next to you for easy sound adjustments during performance. Even the effects aren't half bad, and you can flip them off and on with a foot switch. One of the drawbacks though is there's not really an option to connect monitors. If you wanted to use the speakers for something other than the Kustom Profile, well they only have one "in" connection and no "out." I'd advise buying larger stands for it than what's recommended, and you'll want more reliable speaker cables than those provided.

Still, for small venues, this is what you want. I plug in two vocals, a keyboard, and a guitar, and it accommodates nicely. I still use this system for practices when my drummer needs to hear vocals and instruments over his playing and we don't want to mess with a lot of hookups.

I understand that Kustom has released a Profile Two with even more features, and I fully intend on buying it -- especially since the new version allows you to connect monitors and even a sub. The Kustom Profile One is quite a deal. I'd recommend this system over the Fender and Peavey models of similar portability.
