“Great build quality, loads of extra features MP3 etc. but what made me choose this FRFR over other brands was the graphic equalizer. The customer service was 1st Class.”

“If you are considering or hovering over the decision to buy or not to buy, don't muck about buy these you won't regret it. Really good full range sound nice and clear and good bass and very manageable light weight easy to handle. I've been in the music business for over 50 years ( I know, way too long ) and I was looking for something more transportable with good sound and reasonable power and the 12" Orion's fit the bill just right. I can use them for the occasional Disco and they can also double as PA or monitors for the band. Also versatile with Bluetooth and USB for backing tracks for the Guitar club, Brilliant!!”

“I was pleasantly surprised at how light this speaker was in comparison to the Headrush speaker i had a few months ago. Using it i found it to be very clear / open sound when playing my line 6 firehawk through it which i really like, as other make frfr speakers ive tried seem to be a little muffled. Although im strictly a bedroom player im now wishing i had got a second one at time i ordered as would be nice stereo setup.”

“The speakers turned up late without the power lead, I notified Bishopsound and they quickly resolved this with a new lead. I have tested the Orion 12 using a guitar with a boss GT10 pedal and it sounds great, it was able to provide clear sounds at both high and low ends for the guitar. I tried using it with the Roland Fantom 8 workstation keyboard again it produced high quality sounds at high and midrange. The bass sounds on the keyboard were perhaps hard rather than soft, this was going straight into the amplifier without using a mixer. The next test I did was with a microphone, it gave rich sounds at both high end and low end and you could stand directly next to the speaker without the microphone feeding back as long as the microphone was not in direct line with the front of the speaker so if you held the microphone above or below the speaker or at the side you avoided feedback. The speaker worked well with blue tooth and was easy to connect and it had plenty of volume. I would recommend this speaker for guitarist, keyboard players, microphones use etc. however I would not recommend it for a bass guitar or getting a keyboard bass to sound like a real bass guitar. This was the 12" version don't know how the 15" would fare in terms of handling low frequencies I presume it would be better than the 12". Overall considering the price of this speaker it has to be rated as value for money, I would say pound for pound it would be right up there for those on a budget.”

“Outstanding. I bought this speaker to use with a Headrush pedalboard, and it works just perfectly with it. Being able to blend the pedalboard with the built in Bluetooth makes super easy to play backing tracks and you can blend as well a mic if needed. I'm super happy with the purchase, and couldn't be more satisfied with the communication with the seller. Thanks!”
