The PA50 PA System from Kustom combines quality performance and convenient features, all in a highly portable package. You'll find that the PA50 works well in a variety of environments, amplifying vocals, instruments, keyboards, drum machines, audio devices and more.

The two 4.5" speakers and high-frequency driver provide just the right combination of high and midrange sounds. This balance ensures your vocals cut through the mix while minimizing harsh and unwanted frequencies. The PA50 construction is based on the same tried-and-true techniques as the rest of Kustom's speaker line. This includes a heavy-duty steel grille and rigid corners. This model also utilizes a high-frequency driver for crisp, accurate reproduction of treble frequency and articulate speech.

For the soloist or acoustic duo, the PA50 works well when positioned on a standard speaker stand. As your following grows, so does your sound system; multiple units can be connected to increase the sound coverage in your venue of choice.

Great for use as monitors!

I purchased two of the PA50s to use at gigs, where the stage does not allow space for floor monitors. I then bought speaker wall brackets that I attached to my existing large 18" 3-way JBLs. (Using lag bolts)Then, I suspend the PA50s on each JBL, (The PA50's have speaker top hats on the bottom for stand mounting. The brackets have the pole mount built in), pointing inward, as side fill. At chest level, it's perfect for monitors. It leaves open space on the small stages, and does a great job of being a fold-back system. On Large gigs, I point them outward, towards the audience, standing at extreme right and left. Or adjust them to be sidefill for very large stages. They work extremely well as monitor speakers. Going to buy another pair of PA50s and brackets, and mount the brackets on speaker stands, using muffler 'u' bolts / clamps, to hang them under the main speakers, on the tripod stand tube. Should work great for that set-up, as well.

Disappointing Sound Quality – Consider Alternatives

I purchased this product a couple of months ago for a small backyard gathering. From the start, the sound performance was underwhelming. The low mids were muddy, and while the highs were decent, overall clarity just wasn't there. If you're looking for better sound quality, I'd recommend saving your money and going with a powered Mackie speaker instead.

    I am using it as stage monitor with my keyboard and accordion. I do like the volume control that I have and the highs and mids are coming out clearly. The lows well I did not expect too much, so I was not let down on then. I am considering another for practice very convenient to carry

  • Very good sounding, Easy, lightweight, speaker. Good price

    Very clear, good sounding speaker. You can keep chaining them together, but if u need over 4 get a bigger system. Only downfall is their is no reverb on them. Very nice. It eliminates a soundboard or powered head too. Eq is on the back of the speaker.

    I use this amp for a kazoo with an electric pick up. I didn't need anything big, but needed an amp that I could hear better. This is an easy amp to use, basic settings with 2 inputs and basic settings. AC power cord included and takes multiple size inputs along with a microphone input

    How do I daisy-chain two of them together, so as to have two speakers playing the same thing. What extra cable do I need to purchase?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    To daisy-chain two Kustom PA PA50 Personal PA Systems so they both play the same signal, you can use the Line Out on the first unit to send the signal to the Line In on the second unit. Here's how to do it: Connect your audio source (like a mixer, instrument, or mic) to the first PA50 using one of its inputs. Use a ¼" TS or TRS cable (instrument or balanced line cable) to go from the “Line Out” jack on the back of the first PA50. Plug the other end into a ¼" input (such as "Line In") on the second PA50. Set volume levels appropriately on both units. Cable You Need: 1/4" TS (unbalanced) or TRS (balanced) male to 1/4" TS or TRS male cable. I recommend 1/4" TS (unbalanced)

    Using 1 for vocals, 2 for guitar, will the aux input provide a decent sound connected to an electronic keyboard?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    The aux input on the Kustom PA PA50 will work for an electronic keyboard, but it's not ideal in terms of sound quality and control. Here's why: Pros: It works: The aux input accepts stereo unbalanced signals via 1/8" (3.5mm) TRS jack, so if your keyboard has a headphone or stereo line out, you can connect it directly. Quick setup: Simple and convenient for casual use or practice. Cons: No gain control or EQ: The aux input bypasses the main channel EQ and volume controls, limiting your ability to shape or balance the keyboard sound. Lower headroom: The aux input isn’t optimized for line-level instruments like keyboards, so the sound may be quieter or thinner compared to the mic/instrument channels. Mono speaker: While the aux input is stereo, the PA50 has a single speaker and sums the stereo signal to mono, so any stereo effects or panning from the keyboard will be lost.

    PA50 use as a personal stage monitor? I have a 2 pc band - Guitar and drums. 2 vocals. Can the PA50 be used as a simple stage monitor coming from the Mixing Board? If so, how do I hook that up? I assume; from the mixing board - connect the aux out or the monitor output into one of the channels? 1/4" line jack, or the Mix XLR/ Or, does it go into the "SYNC IN" XLR? I don't plan on plugging anything else into this. Again, just wanting to use this for a stage monitor so I can hear vocals, kick, etc while playing drums.

    What mixing board? You can use the Monitor output but you will need an amplifier to power the speakers.
