A surprisingly simple handling concept lets you plug in and play straight-away. Configure the system by selecting the appropriate Preset (MV12) or Tone Optimizer (MV6) and let the system do the rest. Thanks to the lightweight, and a very compact size, ABS plastic cabinet, it’s easy to carry and take just about anywhere. This series comprises two different models, MV6 (6,5”) and MV12 (12”). The Maverick MV6 is a all-in-one Battery-Powered Portable PA with Bluetooth connection, USB MP3 Player, AUX IN, MIC IN and instrument input. It comes with a remote control allowing the user to control it at distance. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery keeps you going for up to 12 hours. The multi-position feature allows the user to use it in several diferent ways: floor standing, floor tilted, stage monitor and pole mounted. The Maverick MV12 is a 2-way active speaker with Bluetooth connection, AUX IN, CD PLAYER IN, MIC IN and instrument input. The powerful built-in DSP disposes 5 Presets that successfully adapt the speaker for the most distinct and demanding applications (Live performance, Music Reproduction, Speech or Stage Monitor). It is also possible to extend the system’s frequency range adding an external subwoofer and changing the preset accordingly. Thanks to the multi-position feature, this speaker can cover many different applications.
