I have owned the NADY RPA-4 for about 8 months and have been completely satisfied with it. I read one complaint about the fan being too loud but I cannot hear the fan on mine unless I put my ear down close to th unit. For the money, you can't beat it.

I like the convenience of rolling in a complete PA system, other than the mics, but it doesn't provide phantom power so my AT "bell" instrument mic I use on my trumpet would not work with this unit. I've ordered a separate NADY Phantom Power unit for only $20. The fan is a little noisy, but was not bothersome to us. However the "effects" are horrible, and essentially non-existent. All they do is "distort" the sound, not in any way enhance it. To call these "effects" reverb is simply not accurate. Other than that it's plenty powerful enough, and I'm satisfied with it overall.

This sound system is great for what I do. I do music programs at local resthomes. This system is an EZ up and EZ down. The quality of sound is great. The only thing I would change is the wheels to make them a litle bigger.Thanks NADY for a great product.

I just received the PA last week. I didn't realize it would be quite so heavy (53 lbs.), but with the handle, it's fairly easy to roll. I had read the reviews about how flimsy the handle was, but I've found that if if you just extend the handle halfway instead of all the way out, that it gives much more support and still rolls quite well. I'm sure there's a fairly simple way to improve on the design and make it more durable.

I bought this unit to use at home with 1 channel for vocal and 1 channel for an acoustic Alvarez with an ancient pickup that I installed in the 70s. The other 2 channels are for guest pickers or singers who may stop in from time to time.

I bought a Danelectro Fab Chorus box on the same order (20 bucks, can you believe it?), and though some have said it's a lousy product, I find it to be a really great Chorus, and it fattens up my old Alvarez to the max.

It would be nice to have a little more EQ selections, but with low, mid, and high adjustments on the Master controls, and low and high on the channels, you can dial in a really good sound.

I'm running a HotSpot monitor out of the extra speaker jack. It's 16ohms, but speaker higher than 8ohms, or 8ohms, works fine. I tried plugging in one of my large speakers that I have for my other PA, and the sound was great.

If you need a basic system for an acoustic instrument or two, and a vocal or two, this system should serve you well!

I travel all over the state of Missouri to present to groups of 100+ children. This system works beautifully. I use a cd player for music and two mics for performers. Biggest disappointment is that the pull-out handle broke. (not well made in the first place) The unit is very heavy and now hard to roll since the pull-out handle is no longer usable.
