Compact, affordable, and easy to connect

The Fun Generation PL 108 A is an active full-range loudspeaker with a particularly large woofer for this price point; it is also the smallest of the competitively priced PL series. But the size of the integrated speakers is not the only difference between the various models: Like all of the speakers in the PL series, the PL 108 has a built-in media player with USB input, SD card slot, and Bluetooth interface, which can be used as an alternative to a line-in. However, the PL 108 – like its bigger brother, the PL 110 – has one microphone and one AUX input, as well as volume and equaliser buttons integrated into the media player, instead of – like the larger PL 112 and PL 115 models – two microphone inputs with XLR and jack sockets. All models are equipped with a speaker twist output for a passive speaker, so that an additional speaker can be integrated into an existing sound system.

Media player included

The Fun Generation PL 108 A has so many ways of playing music that it will turn any house party into a night at the club. The media player built into back of the unit can be used to access an SD card, and besides its little keypad it can also be operated remotely, making MP3 and WAV files an option too. The Bluetooth interface, of course, is also ideal for playing music from a smartphone, although users can also connect their music source to the 3.5mm mini-jack socket, the volume of which can be adjusted separately. A dynamic microphone can also be connected to the XLR input. Whatever the source, after the signal has passed through a two-band equaliser in the master section, the 8" bass speaker and 1" compression driver go to work. If the levels are too high, there is a dedicated clipping LED. The entire package generates a maximum sound pressure level of 107dB and weighs 5.2kg (11.4lbs).

For DJing and live music

The Fun Generation PL 108 A is an extremely compact entry-level speaker suitable for very small venues – for audiences and for monitoring – at an almost unbeatable price. Its extensive connectivity makes it equally at home in the living room or in schools, and its numerous inputs will provide every guest at social gatherings the chance to share their favourite songs with everyone. And thanks to the AUX output, it can even be used for recording small bands' first gigs. On top of that, there is a microphone input for MCing, or indeed for longer presentations: This fanless speaker is so quiet that it's easy to focus on what is being said. Of course, solo entertainers can connect both a keyboard and a vocal microphone, and to bring the speaker up the right height for audiences who are mostly on their feet, it can be placed on an optional stand (a speaker cover, also sold separately, is available too, for protection while on tour).

Party in the house

Users celebrating a birthday at home or in their garden can really get the party swinging by using a Fun Generation Speaker Stand to elevate the speaker. Then, all they need to do is connect a laptop to the stereo cinch input, freeing up the PL 108 A's media player so that guests can play music from their smartphones via Bluetooth. For announcements and the like, a simple dynamic microphone would be a neat addition. And to get more sound out on the dancefloor, the matching Fun Generation PL 108 P speaker – the 108's passive cousin – can be connected to the speaker twist output, which, while not creating a stereo signal, will evenly split the sound spatially.

Excellent value for the money

Tomi-Croatia 19.06.2023

This speaker is great for speeches, it performs well outdoors, it can be heard very well in a crowd of 200-300 people. Music also sounds good, but you'll probably want a stronger speaker for music. The average power consumption for playing rock music is around 50-60W at its maximum level, and this is pure RMS power. Everyone who owns a 50W guitar amp knows that this is A LOT. The sound is very clean and it spreads pretty evenly in space. Be aware that it does NOT have a battery. I have only one negative remark: the bluetooth receiver has a pretty weak range compared to some other bluetooth speakers. You should keep your phone or PC close to it (not more than 5 meters away) to avoid drop-outs. All in all, excellent speaker.

Very goog small PA for this price!

FunkyM 04.10.2020

Use
1. With DJ mixer output to PL108A line-in, for reproducing sound of vinyls on a small parties (<50 people).
2. As a Full-range monitors for guitar multi-effects processor.
3. Music listening from Bluetooth and karaoke sing-along with wired of wireless mic.

Clarity
Description is very good. Need to mention that mp3 player/Bluetooth is not working together with line-in (RCA input). But there is workaround - input line source to Mic input, in this case - works with line-in (RCA input).

pros:
Very good sound for the budget. Without sub-woofer possibly lack of lows, but with sub-woofer (at least 200W) - very full and balanced sound. We are using them as keyboard and guitar monitor, not too loud but good for small gigs. For playback from vinyl/mp3 or bluetooth - very good and economic solution. Main benefit - very light weight PA with many options.

No cons detected at the moment.

Thank Thomann for excellent technical support service and for fast delivery of this product!

Cehap but quite good

McFab 10.12.2019

It's a basic loudspeaker, but for this price, it sounds good.
It was installed in a pub in order to listen to the music and the television.
Very easy to use: just connect the plugs and switch on.
Unfortunately I have to replace one of the three installed after 2,5 years because it broke.

Decent Sound, But Lacks Punch

MisterDj 11.10.2024

The Fun Generation PL 108 A is a solid option if you’re looking for an affordable, compact speaker for smaller events or practice sessions. It’s lightweight and easy to set up, which makes it a great choice for those who need a portable PA solution.

The sound quality is decent for the price, with clear mids and highs that work well for vocals and speech. It’s suitable for small venues or home use, where you don’t need a massive sound output. However, the bass response is limited, so it doesn’t deliver the deep, full-bodied low-end that some might expect from a larger speaker. It’s not a deal-breaker if you understand the size and price limitations, but don’t expect it to fill larger spaces with rich bass.

One downside is that the build quality feels a bit on the lighter side, so extra care is needed during transport to avoid damage. But for the price, it’s understandable and manageable if you handle it with care.

Overall, the Fun Generation PL 108 A is a good budget-friendly choice for smaller setups. It’s great for speech, practice, and background music, but if you’re after booming bass and powerful output, you may want to consider adding a subwoofer or looking for a larger option.
