Powercon is a great connector system for daisy-chaining multiple speakers, making it better for larger venues where expandability is a consideration, or for permanent installation.<\/p>\n<p>Houses of worship, cafes, bars, clubs, theatres, and music venues are all great for these connectors. However, they\u2019re not always as easy to use as IEC cables, which just need a mains connection. This is better in most scenarios but doesn\u2019t usually give you the option to expand.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the third option is battery operation, where you\u2019ll only have to worry about remembering to charge it. We recommend considering a backup battery just in case!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Battery_vs_non-battery_operation\"><\/span>Battery vs. non-battery operation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>A lot of portable PA speakers in recent years offer a battery-powered option of some kind, but not all of them do. So it\u2019s worth making sure that the system you have your eye on can be operated the way you want to.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you have a system that can only be operated via batteries, what do you do if you don\u2019t get the chance to charge it up before your next show? Think about what suits you. The most flexibility will come out of a PA that can be operated via both battery and mains power, giving you a backup option if the battery dies before or, worse, during a show.<\/p>\n<p>However, you might not need the extra cost of both if you\u2019re only ever playing outside without access to mains power or are only playing indoor venues with ample power options. Think about what fits you best!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inputs\"><\/span>Inputs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Inputs dictate what instruments you can connect to your portable speaker, and this can help you narrow down your search very easily.<\/p>\n<p>Most systems will have some connectors for microphones, typically XLR or a combo jack, so you can plug in a mic no matter what cable it has, 3-pin or 1\/4-inch.<\/p>\n<p>XLR connectors are for microphones only, jack connectors let you connect jack signals like guitars or keyboards and synths, but combo jacks offer total flexibility, letting you hook up either \u2013 just make sure it\u2019s switched to mic or line mode so you don\u2019t clip your input.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are aux connectors. RCA connectors are ideal for DJs, as most controllers, turntables, and CDJs operate on RCA cables. 1\/8-inch jacks are great for connecting headphone jacks from smartphones, tablets, or laptops, for example, and USB or SD card readers provide another way of playing MP3s without having to worry about the rest.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Specific_features_you_might_need\"><\/span>Specific features you might need<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Do you want optimal coverage and sound output for larger venues or outdoor performances? Be sure to check the specs for SPL output to make sure your sound carries.<\/p>\n<p>DSP mixing features are becoming more common, these are great for the more seasoned performers who really want to dig into their sound and get a professional mix before they start. A recent trend is app control, where you can mix from a smartphone or tablet.<\/p>\n<p>However, for the non-tweakers, sometimes the onboard effects, EQ, and level controls will get you most of the way there. It\u2019s good to check whether or not the system you want gives you some way of controlling your sound.<\/p>\n<p>Media players are ideal for DJs, street performers, karaoke singers, and anyone who might need a backing track or to play external signals live.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28735 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/07\/Lifestyle-2-e1690538493910.jpg\" alt=\"JBL EON ONE used during a presentation\" width=\"1152\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/07\/Lifestyle-2-e1690538493910.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/07\/Lifestyle-2-e1690538493910-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/07\/Lifestyle-2-e1690538493910-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/07\/Lifestyle-2-e1690538493910-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/07\/Lifestyle-2-e1690538493910-1080x540.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1152px) 100vw, 1152px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;What else do I need?&#8221;

Out of the systems that have these features, consider their sound quality and their maximum SPL output; you want something you like hearing and that kicks out enough sound for your shows.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_a_good_portable_PA_system_cost\"><\/span>How much does a good portable PA system cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>A good portable PA system for most applications will tend to cost around \u00a3300 to \u00a31000. However, for some use cases, you can find cheaper options with fewer features or more expensive options with bigger sound and even more features or inputs to choose from.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_watts_do_I_need_in_a_PA_system\"><\/span>How many watts do I need in a PA system?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Rather than watts, it&#8217;s a better idea to look at the maximum SPL output ratings to give you a more accurate picture of how loud PA systems can get as wattages of PA systems don\u2019t directly relate to their output volume anymore.

Powercon is a great connector system for daisy-chaining multiple speakers, making it better for larger venues where expandability is a consideration, or for permanent installation.<\/p><p>Houses of worship, cafes, bars, clubs, theatres, and music venues are all great for these connectors. However, they\u2019re not always as easy to use as IEC cables, which just need a mains connection. This is better in most scenarios but doesn\u2019t usually give you the option to expand.<\/p><p>Of course, the third option is battery operation, where you\u2019ll only have to worry about remembering to charge it. We recommend considering a backup battery just in case!<\/p><hr \/><h4>Battery vs. non-battery operation<\/h4><p>A lot of portable PA speakers in recent years offer a battery-powered option of some kind, but not all of them do. So it\u2019s worth making sure that the system you have your eye on can be operated the way you want to.<\/p><p>On the other hand, if you have a system that can only be operated via batteries, what do you do if you don\u2019t get the chance to charge it up before your next show? Think about what suits you. The most flexibility will come out of a PA that can be operated via both battery and mains power, giving you a backup option if the battery dies before or, worse, during a show.<\/p><p>However, you might not need the extra cost of both if you\u2019re only ever playing outside without access to mains power or are only playing indoor venues with ample power options. Think about what fits you best!<\/p><hr \/><h4>Inputs<\/h4><p>Inputs dictate what instruments you can connect to your portable speaker, and this can help you narrow down your search very easily.<\/p><p>Most systems will have some connectors for microphones, typically XLR or a combo jack, so you can plug in a mic no matter what cable it has, 3-pin or 1\/4-inch.<\/p><p>XLR connectors are for microphones only, jack connectors let you connect jack signals like guitars or keyboards and synths, but combo jacks offer total flexibility, letting you hook up either \u2013 just make sure it\u2019s switched to mic or line mode so you don\u2019t clip your input.<\/p><p>Then there are aux connectors. RCA connectors are ideal for DJs, as most controllers, turntables, and CDJs operate on RCA cables. 1\/8-inch jacks are great for connecting headphone jacks from smartphones, tablets, or laptops, for example, and USB or SD card readers provide another way of playing MP3s without having to worry about the rest.<\/p><hr \/><h4>Specific features you might need<\/h4><p>Do you want optimal coverage and sound output for larger venues or outdoor performances? Be sure to check the specs for SPL output to make sure your sound carries.<\/p><p>DSP mixing features are becoming more common, these are great for the more seasoned performers who really want to dig into their sound and get a professional mix before they start. A recent trend is app control, where you can mix from a smartphone or tablet.<\/p><p>However, for the non-tweakers, sometimes the onboard effects, EQ, and level controls will get you most of the way there. It\u2019s good to check whether or not the system you want gives you some way of controlling your sound.<\/p><p>Media players are ideal for DJs, street performers, karaoke singers, and anyone who might need a backing track or to play external signals live.<\/p><p><img class=\"wp-image-28735 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/07\/Lifestyle-2-e1690538493910.jpg\" alt=\"JBL EON ONE used during a presentation\" width=\"1152\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p><hr \/><h3>What else do I need?<\/h3><p>How and what you use these portable speakers for is completely down to your style, but here's some more portable gear to jumpstart your creativity!<\/p><hr \/><h4>Hartwood Sonata<\/h4><p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-28897 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/07\/Hartwood-Sonata-Armrest-Electro-Concert-Ukulele-AA-Solid-Koa-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Hartwood Sonata Armrest Electro-Concert Ukulele, AA Solid Koa\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>A compact electro-concert ukulele, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/Hartwood-Sonata-Armrest-Electro-Concert-Ukulele-AA-Solid-Koa\/337D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hartwood Sonata<\/a><\/strong> is a great starting point for any aspiring singer-songwriter.<\/p><p>Whether you\u2019re intending to start performing with the ukulele itself, a six-string guitar, or just want to use it as a learning tool to start out, the Sonata feels comfortable to play and sounds better with age thanks to its koa body.<\/p><p>Shop Now | <a href=\"\/Guitar-and-Bass\/Hartwood-Sonata-Armrest-Electro-Concert-Ukulele-AA-Solid-Koa\/337D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hartwood Sonata Armrest Electro-Concert Ukulele, AA Solid Koa<\/a><\/p><hr \/><h4>Sennheiser e945<\/h4><p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/PA-DJ-and-Lighting\/Sennheiser-e945-Dynamic-Vocal-Microphone\/RS0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sennheiser e945<\/a><\/strong> is a great pick for live vocal performances.

Consider the number and types of inputs, what instruments you can connect, if you need or want a media player, and what formats of media you want to play. Then, consider power and if you require batteries or mains power. Out of the systems that have these features, consider their sound quality and their maximum SPL output; you want something you like hearing and that kicks out enough sound for your shows.<\/p><hr \/><h4>How much does a good portable PA system cost?<\/h4><p>A good portable PA system for most applications will tend to cost around \u00a3300 to \u00a31000. However, for some use cases, you can find cheaper options with fewer features or more expensive options with bigger sound and even more features or inputs to choose from.<\/p><hr \/><h4>How many watts do I need in a PA system?<\/h4><p>Rather than watts, it's a better idea to look at the maximum SPL output ratings to give you a more accurate picture of how loud PA systems can get as wattages of PA systems don\u2019t directly relate to their output volume anymore. The higher the SPL, the louder the speaker.<\/p><hr \/><h3>Final thoughts<\/h3><p>There's a broad range of features available in portable PA speakers, so we've had a lot of ground to cover, but there are options for all budgets, output volumes, and connectivity requirements.<\/p><p>No matter what and how you want to perform, at least one of our picks for the very <strong>best portable PA systems<\/strong> is sure to suit you and accompany you during the summer!<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[244,111],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-live-sound-guides","category-live-sound"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The 12 Best Portable PA Systems to Take With You This Summer<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Wherever you like to put on a show, you\u2019ll need a PA system to project your audio.
