About the BOSE S1 PRO: The Microphone Preamp is PATHETICALLY WEAK! I just traded in mine for a new EV EVERSE8. Wow, wow, what a difference! A remarkably powerful and yet clear microphone preamp and umpteen EQ settings. The Everse8 is the NEXT GENERATION; sorry, S1Pro, goodbye! Though, used with a Mixer, the S1Pro is perfectly fine in terms of volume and clarity.
Would have really preferred you give the prices as well with the descriptions.
For me Samson is the best !
I’m so old that I remember that the first question about speakers used to be "how is the frequency response on this thing?" Are all speakers so close to "flat response" nowadays that there is no reason to list it? Or is that question not really useful and I’m just old school?
That was good, it would have been nice to have a top two favorite in each category near the end of the video. For example, your top two favorites for a DJ and why, or your top two favorites for a solo artist and why.
I have a zoom L8 mixer and want an active speaker powered by batteries. I want a simple one without any inputs other than XLR from the mixer. Do you have one?
Which one is the best one for outdoor parties but also most portable. One with subs ideally.
Singer/Songwriter ? That term makes no sense, a singer is not writing songs while performing on stage. What about One-Man-Bands ? Most of those systems are designed for people who play guitar, some of us use keyborards, needeing some bass power that guitars players do not need. Which one would you suggest for a singer/keyboardist who also uses a drum machine and whose repertoire includes a lot of latin music (salsa, merengue, mambo, etc) ? Thanks for your opinion, Blessings from San Juan PR 🇵🇷
Everything is copied from bose design
Has anyone tried these for Electric drums???
RCF EVOX JMIX8?
So, i bought a Yamaha
The small speakers cannot take distortion. Absolutely terrible
If only this guy could speak faster and breathe less between words.
i would love to have a portable pa set for my digital piano in a nursing home enviroment for around 50 to 100 people
QSC K10.2???
I’m still using 2 Jbl eon 15paks. Tons of power a full eq high, low, mids ect. They don’t make them.like this anymore
Cost difference during comparison of each system would have been very helpful!!!!
No mention of the aux port 3.5mm mini jack industry standard connector. All my devices use this, even my car. We are talking audio here so this is the elephant in the room. I an electronics expert and mean guitarist. I know lots of stuff don’t I?
the prices aren’t mentioned
Ld maui 44g2 then we talk.
I’ve just purchased an LD Maui 5 and Maui 5 GO for running in stereo for smaller gigs. These sound fabulous for their compact size and look great as well as being very discrete.
😇
I’ve got the smaller E.V 30M. it’s great but kinda want the 50 for that extra low ends and slightly bigger tweeds. still sounds pretty good though.
Can you please recommend me a portable pa speaker with STEREO line-in inputs? For playing outdoors with friends with a digital piano. Budget under $500-700
I understand it the room and not the people. If you were doing JUST vocals say for speech would you still buy two? Im an auctioneer and looking for a system (Prefer Battery power) for benefit auctions where they dont have sound. Some dont have power. I dont need a ton of woofer just vocal clarity and ease of set up as we dont generally have luxury of preset ups. Just show up and go. I have had house systems go down before because often the event people really arent prepared and know nothing of sound systems. I always carry a portable hailer with me but it sounds like a old farm auction them. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
But people what to here the unit. Speally the vocal but no one on YouTube do this . what’s wrong
Maui 5 GO….
Behringer c210b…
Thanks for the video. I’ve been using two Kustom PA50 systems for about $100 each for years with a Mackie mixer. Works fine for my casual needs of parties, outdoor movie setups, etc. Very portable too.

how much is the fender passport 500watts 7mic ch.
It’s a good time to be alive. So many choices and incredible products available to hobbyist and professionals. Thank you Sweetwater and my sales guy! My new TS speakers and SC mixer are rocking the Nevada desert. Coyotes and rabbits gather around to the good sounds. Friends dancing to EDM. When the EDM stops the rabbits either run or are invited to dinner.
Years ago I bought a couple Turbosound ip2000s from Sweetwater for when I do solo or duo gigs. Keys, tracks, vocals etc. They’ve worked out great, with no problems whatsoever. 🙂
Could any of these be used with an electronic drum kit?
Our needs-
Metal Band
Portable from a trailer
Small to large venues
Scalable, so we can start small and keep building
Powered Single point, but vertically stackable so we can add more speakers as we go.
Do any of these have better built in vocal effects or reverb ? Planning on gigging with bass guitar , backing tracks and 2 vocalist including myself
Smaller is better. All live sound guys crank the volume toooo loud ! Pushes away the audience 110% of the time.
Leave the backbreaking weight behind! Make sure to like and subscribe while you’re here 😎🤘
For an acoustic 3 piece, are you meant to stand behind these column PA systems or are they meant to be setup behind the band?
So, the fishman – the top comes in at 330w, but the sub comes in at 300w of power. Does that make that a 630w system, or is that now how the wattage would be caluclated?
