JBL KM310LE Professional Active Monitor Speaker

Tested
Grade A
Availability: In stock

A compact two-way monitor that still sounds clean at low levels; check both woofers for foam rot before shipping.

Best for: Small control rooms, KTV booths and nearfield monitoring where the cabinet sits on a desk or a short stand.

Watch out for: The 10-inch surround is the weak point on this age of KM series — ask for a close-up of both cones and check for foam rot before paying.

Drivers: 1x 10" LF, 1x 1.5" HF
Power handling: 200W
Frequency range: 52Hz-18kHz

DONBN DW-12 Professional Full-Range Speaker

Tested
Grade A
Availability: In stock

A 12-inch two-way at 500W with 80x50 coverage and 126dB max SPL, so it covers a modest worship hall without excess headroom volunteers can misuse. NL4 connectors and 600 x 380 x 420 mm dimensions keep it easy to hang or pole-mount.

Best for: Small-to-mid worship rooms and side fills where a single compact full-range box per position is enough.

Watch out for: Check the HF diaphragm and horn throat for wear, confirm both NL4 pins are wired, and inspect the cabinet corners and grille for impact damage.

Best for: Small banquet halls and event rooms needing a single full-range box per zone rather than high peak output.

Watch out for: Listed coverage is N/A, so confirm the actual horn or cone dispersion suits your table layout, and check the dual binding posts and cone surround for wear.

Drivers: 15 inch
Power handling: 400 W
Frequency range: 55 Hz - 5 kHz

Best for: Mid-size worship halls needing even 90x60 coverage and predictable pattern control from a single box per side.

Tested
Grade A

Best for: Larger worship halls and venues where higher output and wide 90x60 coverage are needed from a single full-range box.

Watch out for: At 720 x 480 x 440 mm it is the heaviest box here, so check handles, rigging hardware and cabinet joints; also test the HF driver and confirm the rear connector panel is undamaged.

Drivers: 1x 15" LF, 1x 1.4" HF
Power handling: 1200 W AES
Frequency range: 55 Hz – 20 kHz

How we rank

Each unit in this list is photographed as it stands and bench-tested before it goes on the page. The order is set by our inventory team on parts availability, service history and how the model holds up in rental use — never by sponsorship or paid placement. We do not publish sales totals we cannot verify.

What to check before you buy

Ask for photos and a video of the exact serial number you will receive, not a stock picture.
Confirm amplifier, DSP presets and rigging hardware are included — they are the most expensive parts to source later.
Check driver surrounds for foam rot and ask whether any driver has been re-coned.
Match voltage and mains plug to your country before shipping; 110 V and 230 V versions are not interchangeable.
Budget for freight, duty and a service check on arrival — used gear is priced FOB, not delivered.

Buyer questions

Are the units in this ranking actually tested?

Yes. Each unit is powered up, run through its inputs and outputs and checked for noise, fan condition and channel balance in our warehouse. The test result is recorded against the serial number; ask us for it before you pay.

What condition grade do these units carry?

Grades are shown per unit: A means 90% or better cosmetic condition with no functional faults, B means visible wear but full function. The grade in the table is the grade of the actual cabinet you will receive.

Can you supply several units of the same model?

Often yes. Quantities change weekly because stock comes from trade-ins and rental fleet rotation. Tell us the model and quantity and we will confirm what is on the floor today.

How is used gear shipped and what if something arrives faulty?

We ship FOB port of loading by sea or air, crated or palletised for export. Every lot carries a 90-day test warranty: if a fault covered by the test report appears, we ship the replacement part or arrange a repair credit.
