The PRORECK 3000 is an all-in-one Bluetooth PA system that’s great for home use as well as smaller events. Use it to transform your home entertainment system into a full sound system for entertaining purposes. It has an excellent sound for the price and comes with all the components needed for a home setup. It does have some drawbacks, however, which we will discuss in our detailed PRORECK Club 3000 review.
System Features
The Club 3000 is designed to be an all-in-one system. The set includes an active and a passive subwoofer, two 4×4″ array speakers (eight speakers total) with two speaker stands. The subwoofers use 12″ component, and the amplifier to power all the sound system is inside one of the subwoofers. It also includes several cables and remote control.
Bluetooth Wireless Capability
With the Club 3000, you can pair the system with your Apple or Android device. You can also use the remote control to play and pause, switch mode, move through songs, or adjust volume up to 20 feet.
Connections
You can use the available USB drive or SD card slots to connect your media and play songs. Then, there are the four-channel stereo and mono inputs, which break down to two mono XLR inputs for mics or any other line-level source, one stereo RCA input, one stereo 6.35mm input, and one stereo RCA output. The system also has individual volume controls, bass/treble control, and master volume control for ease of use.
Versatility
The Club 3000 can accommodate gatherings up to 500 persons and 300 m2, with a 3000-watt Peak /750 RMS amplified system. The system’s wide frequency response 40-20KHz allows you to amplify any audio, whether vocals or music only.
The inputs also make it possible to connect musical instruments. You can connect up to five instruments at a time. Use lines 1 and 2 to connect mics and/or guitars using their XLR outputs. Through line 3 and its 6.35mm stereo input (and channel 4 with its RCA inputs), you can connect mixers, drum machines, or a keyboard.
Sound Performance
The subwoofers are made of a sturdy MDF material that reduces resonance. The sound is relatively free of distortion and gives an accurate response. The two 12″ woofers produce low, deep, punchy lows, and the eight tweeters and mid-range speakers deliver a crisp, clear sound.
The 12-inch active bass reflex subwoofer has A 50oz-magnet and a built-in amplifier. This magnifies the signal and then streams your music to your audience. Next, the wide frequency response, which ranges from 40-20KHz, enables you to amplify any audio, including music or vocals. The system is powered from the active subwoofer, which delivers sound to the passive subwoofer and array speakers, thus providing an accurate, full-range stereo sound.
The Design
The Club 3000 has a practical design that stands up well to home use and the occasional outdoor event. The cabinets have a professional black finish and are made of a strong MDF fiberboard. The telescopic speaker stands come in handy, and they extend seven meters. To use the telescoping pole, use the side handles to lift and move the subwoofers.
One of the biggest draws to this system is its weight. Being that this system is composed of several speaker cabinets, it’s heavy and bulky, and it’s not as portable or convenient to move it around as other sound systems. However, if you are looking at equipment this size, you wouldn’t mind the weight if you have a way to transport it.
If you think that this system is inconvenient for your sound needs, and prefer something smaller more portable that delivers excellent sound, read our post on The Best Portable PA System for Outdoors and Indoors.
Advantages of the PRORECK 3000
The PRORECK Club 3000 has several benefits, including, of course, the Bluetooth capability that adds convenience to the home setup. This includes the ability to connect your Alexa to your PA system! If you’re using this an upgraded home entertainment system, this gives you much greater control over your playback options.
Sound Quality and Customization
Overall the sound quality of this sound system is fantastic. With the Proreck 3000, you can have a great pool party, backyard party, even use it as a PA system for DJ gigs. To get the perfect sound, users need to take a little time to learn the settings and make adjustments accordingly. While you don’t need to do this, the options are there.
Adjustable Mounting Hardware
The system includes the mounting hardware you need to install the speakers at just the right position in the room or outdoor space, making the sound project further, and in the direction you want it to go.
Disadvantages of the PRORECK 3000
So far, we have stressed the strengths of the PRORECK 3000 when it comes to home use. For larger halls and outdoor spaces, this system falls a bit short. Once the system is set up in a large room, the volume doesn’t fill the area as we expected it to. The bass is a bit lacking. Other users report that they hear distortion and humming when turning up the volume.
Another issue has to do with the number of speakers, sound options, and supporting equipment. All these extras are great for a home setup. However, it doesn’t lend itself well to outdoor events or portability. When traveling, there’s a lot of working parts to set up and break down.

Conclusion
The PRORECK 3000 is a reasonably priced system that comes with a ton of supporting equipment and connecting cables. That being said, we find it ideal for supercharging a home entertainment system or home parties and the occasional outdoor party. The mounting hardware and telescoping pole are advantageous for setting up indoors and outdoors. And, the Bluetooth and remote control make the system easy to use and manage.
For larger gatherings and outdoor, use, however, the system falls a bit short. The sound quality is excellent until you place it in a large banquet room or big back yard. From there, the volume can have a harder time reaching your audience. Some customers have left reviews stating that the volume doesn’t hold in these cases.
As a bump up from a standard home entertainment system, the PRORECK 3000 is a winner. For larger parties and outdoor events, however, you may want to shop around, especially if you need clarity of sound to cover a larger area.
