Anyone tried playing through Soundboks speakers?
I was considering getting a new PA, and the idea of battery powered wireless speakers is very intriguing.

I’m a stickler for fat sub frequencies tho.
However maybe I could just add a sub at some point and get a Skaa transmitter if I wanted the sub wireless too.

So if anyone knows how these things sound I’d love to hear about it.

Thanks :v:t2:

Definitely curious about these speakers.
In the past I’ve always had two 15s and at least one sub.
I kind of think subs are vital to a proper sound.
They had volume to the air without blowing peoples ear drums out.

I definitely wonder if Soundoks are pretty decent on their own.

I ordered some Skaa mini transmitter and receiver to see how well they sounded wireless.
I tested out some Rode mic devices and they work good for personal use but the quality of sound is not something I’d use in a live situation

We have one and played outside with it. It’s ok for a smaller crowd but most of the time we added a 2nd speaker to it and then it was pretty cool for a portable system.
It’s quite heavy though. And if your music isn’t mixed well (e.g. too much bass) the limiter kicks in and the volume gets lower.

All in all we had fun with it but i don’t know if i can recommend it. Maybe there’s a better solution.

That’s exactly what I needed to hear.
I’m heavy on the bass usually.

Probably just getting a regular PA is the solution.
If I had to be wireless there’s options for sure

Yamaha bt400/600 is very portable, i added a sub, good enough for 100-150 people.
Rcf 702 mk2, 12 inch, but goes down to 44hz.
I power it with a solar battery and a 500 watt inverter, a larger inverter might be needed if its a weekend techno party. Everything fits into a normal car.

The Yamaha also has a bluetooth mixer channel + several analogue inputs, its quiete handy in this regard.

I’m not really interested in Bluetooth as much as the Skaa transmitting and receiving.}
But thank you

Feed 2 SKAA speakers or headphones in SKAA Pro mode (at 19ms latency) … great for lightning-fast scratching and finger drumming

I think 19 ms is low, but in a LAN enviroment i can have 0.5 ms, not sure about WLAN lowest expectation. Otherwise it sounds good - but for actual pro audio PA, if you have to compensate 19 ms - that sounds quiete a lot, and needs another audio processor to do so.
If you only feed one source, and have one speaker array it wouldnt matter though. Thanks for the tipp, i will have a look into it.

I almost bout a transmitter receiver box. Instead I opted for the tiny little devices. I need to try them out. I’m sure scratching or finger drumming might be out of the question for live shows. Yet playing sequences synths might be doable
