FRFR Cab: Mission Engineering Io

  • i have bought his
    its an excellent small, lightweight and powerful cab
    i had several other cabs for the Kemper, but this one really
    nails what I want, it sounds like a real amp with the Kemper
    I sold my Yamaha dxr 10 after I got this, liked the io much more

    Hello Digbob,


    Thanks for sharing!


    For now I have a Bogner 4x12" but I would like to switch to a more compact setup :P using FRFR cabs.
    At home I use my studio speakers an an FRFR allows to reproduce much more details in switching between profiles.


    I try to follow the latest FRFR developments, previous Mission Engineering products got good feedback.
    I also looked to CLR, Blue Amps solutions (made in Germany), Friedmann ...
    But then I noticed this new Io from ME, it looks cool and size is perfect I would think.
    However there is almost now user feedback to find on the internet, at least I did not find much ...


    Could you please also share some experience with the cabs you have tried in the past?


    Does it has and acceptable 'Umph' (If you understand what I mean ;) ) compared to using a 4x12" cab?


    If I am correct this Io unit has a build in class D amp?


    Does it has passive cooling = so no noise?


    Is it powerful enough in rehearsals with e.g. a live drummer?


    Is it possible to share some pictures of your setup?


    Do you run it with 2 cabs in stereo?


    And ... if I may ask, where did you buy it?
    Since it is not so easy find ME dealers in Belgium :(


    Thanks in advance!


    All the best,
    Dominique

  • it has enough umph, not as a 4x12 but enough
    no noise from cooling
    powerful enough to play with a loud drummer
    i only run 1 cab
    I bought at Music store professional in cologne
    they have it in stock right now
    and deliver free to Belgium
    and you can return it if you want in the first 30 days


    before I had a blue amp 1x12 FRFR which I found much too dark sounding
    after that Yamaha dxr 10, which I don t like cause of the separate horn driver and the noise from the fan

    Hey Digbob,


    Do you still have the Mission Engineering Io? Do you recommend it?


    Where in Belgium are you from? I'm from Antwerp.


    Thanks!
