This time, we’re introducing our recommended portable PA speakers that support Bluetooth connectivity.
What is a Portable PA Speaker?
Portable PA speakers are not just easy to carry, but many of them can also run on batteries. They are handy speakers that can be used in various settings, such as street performances, sports events, corporate meetings and speeches, and local events!
① CLASSIC PRO / PA-BOX Speaker for Event, Small Concert, and Street Performance
The highlight of this speaker is that it not only supports Bluetooth connectivity but also allows music playback via SD cards and USB! Even seniors who are not familiar with Bluetooth devices can enjoy karaoke by playing songs directly from these media.
It’s also highly convenient for transport! As you can see, it has a carry handle on the side and wheels on the bottom, making it easy to carry like a suitcase.
When not using the carry handle, it can be compactly stored.
It has a battery life of about 4 hours of continuous use, which is long enough for events.
It features EQ adjustments for Treble and Bass, and also includes a digital echo effect.
② Samson / Expedition Explor with XPD2 Wireless Handheld Mic
This speaker boasts a powerful 200W output and a 3-way system, delivering high-quality and robust sound! It also supports Bluetooth connectivity.
The key selling point of this speaker is that it comes with a handheld wireless mic at a low price, offering great cost effectiveness.
It’s not only suitable for street performances but also for fitness clubs where trainers use the mic for instruction, as well as for corporate meetings and speeches.
The design allows for floor placement by placing it sideways as shown in the image, enabling it to be used as a floor monitor. Since it runs on batteries, there’s no need for power cables, making it easy to set up compactly even on small stages without worrying about wiring.
Additionally, it features a master 3-band EQ allowing adjustments for Treble, Mid, and Bass.
It includes two XLR/1/4-inch combo jacks that can be used for mic or line-level devices. Channel 2 can connect to Hi-Z (high impedance) instruments like guitars, eliminating the need for a DI box.
With independent reverb control for each mic/wireless input, you can tailor the effects for each instrument to achieve your desired sound during performances.
➂ JBL / EON ONE Compact All-In-One Battery-Powered PA System
This JBL portable PA speaker features an 8-inch woofer capable of reproducing low frequencies down to 37.5 Hz, with a class-leading output sound pressure level of 112 dB.
The standout feature of this speaker is that you can use the JBL EON ONE Compact Control app to adjust the EQ and volume from your smartphone or tablet!
Despite being a portable PA speaker, it has a robust 4-channel mixer suitable for band performances.
*JBL Compact Connect App Screen
As shown in the image, the effects include reverb, chorus, and delay, which can be combined to enhance vocal and instrument performances for rich expressions.
Channel 1 supports phantom power (48V), allowing you to connect condenser microphones.
It not only offers up to 12 hours of continuous use but also features quick battery charging, taking just 2.5 hours to fully charge. Even if you forget to charge it before an event, you can quickly recharge it without worry.
