Gearank Recommendation
The Milan M12 appeared on our recommended list for Powered PA Speakers from April 2017 until December 2017 when it was removed due to being out-ranked by other speakers.
Overview
Acquired by Music Group (Behringer’s mother company) back in 2012, UK-based Loudspeaker manufacturer Turbosound continues to produce quality loudspeakers.
The Milan 12 is their top rated speaker in the sub $500 price range, featuring a 12″ woofer, 1″ tweeter and a 1100W (Peak) amplifier. While it is primarily meant for FOH use, the Milan M12’s input options allow it to work as a portable PA system for solo performers, and it can also serve as a stage floor monitor.
It also comes equipped with DSP that serves as a smart limiter and dynamic equalizer. Other features include bass and treble EQ controls, recessed carry handle, and dual-angle pole mounting.
And it has a switchable 100Hz low-cut filter, which works in conjunction with its built-in DSP to give it more midrange emphasis and stops low-end rumble when used as a floor monitor.
