Remote Audio SpeakEasy v4BT Battery-Powered Speaker with Wireless Pairing

The SpeakEasy™ v4BT is much like the v3b but with the addition of wireless pairing connectivity (such as from a smart phone’s blue tooth) and is bi-amped for higher fidelity and higher volume. It is housed in a cast aluminum enclosure with a durable black finish. At under 5 pounds, the unit is small enough to hide on set and rugged enough to pack in a case with the rest of your gear.

Flexible Inputs

The back of the unit has the pairing indicators and controls, and two combo jacks for connecting mic, line, or instrument level (guitar/keyboard) inputs. The mic trim provides up to 40dB of gain control. The inputs are isolated from one another so they can be used at the same time, essentially becoming a basic 2-channel mixer. The battery compartment accepts two 9V batteries. For external powering, a 2.1mm coaxial connector (center pin +) accepts 9-18V DC. A circuit protects against reverse polarity.

Power

SpeakEasy powered speakers are very efficient. With an idle current drain of less than 100ma, the SpeakEasy™ v4BT will operate on a pair of 9V batteries up to 8 hours of intermittent use with the pairing feature turned off, or 4 hours, typically, with wireless paring in use. Typical intermittent use allows a pair of 9V batteries to last a full production day.

Applications
