nightster Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hi all, Hoping you can help as I am stumped... I need to find a REALLY easy and VERY small PA system for an exhibition stand which tours exhibitions around the country. The demonstrator on the exhibition stand needs just a little bit of boosting to save their voice and project a little better. The stand is set up by non technical people, so it needs to be a REALLY easy solution. I am thinking of a headset mic (either wired or wireless) for the demonstrator and then plugging in to a single active speaker or something? It's only voice - and the quality really isn't massively important - so a single speaker would be fine. Ideally this would be quite a small solution too - so it doesn't look unobtrusive on the (quiet small) exhibition stand. I guess I am really looking for a small powered speaker which I can plug a mic straight into the back of? They used to make these "talking brick" things that I have been searching for but cannot find. Any thoughts on what might be a good solution for this? Any help would be MUCH appreciated! Many thanks, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCC1996 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Would something like this fit your spec: http://www.maplin.co.uk/dj-tech-portable-pa-system-340820 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmdh Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 How about something like the Mackie SRM150 (not used it, just had a quick browse on and it seems to fit your bill: http://www.dolphinmu...kie-srm150.html). If you want easiest operation, I'd avoid wireless, but I guess it would be pretty useful in an exhibition. If so then http://www.dolphinmu...et-band-d-.html is about the cheapest Dolphin have (and looks fairly simple to operate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Lewis Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Not suplied with a headset, but this does tick the boxes for simplicity... and I'm sure a headet could be added... Behringer Europort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomHoward Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I have to admit they're not as cheap, but have a look at the SoundRanger systems. We have a battery powered Wireless 2C system - it's a wireless radio mic and a battery powered small active speaker (I think it's 2x 4inch drivers - but it's optimised for speech and is surprisingly effective) - you just turn the mic and speaker on and it works. If you can get away with the mains powered speaker you can same some money as well - we use the battery system though and it runs for about 12 hours on a charge - and charges on a standard mains kettle lead. They do have a smaller system than the 2C as well - the Micro - you can order that with a headset mic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Beesley Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Here is my 2p. http://cpc.farnell.com/pulse/pa-40/portable-pa-system-40w-wireless/dp/DP30787 - as chosen my many "fruit based" electronic shops for instore demo across the world. Very neat little units, supplied with handheld mic but they do have a headset pack (code DP30788). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightster Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Thanks all - very much appreciate your help! Think I'll go for the cheap 'n' cheerful Europort EPA40 and see how it does! Many thanks, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieR Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Or if you want something a little more 'Pro' looking - =726&cHash=99309bc9cb52a9b3a7a308d6696de02f"]Fohhn FP-Media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjadingle Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 If quality isn't an issue and simplicity is, how about this - http://avslgroup.com/en/product/178.840UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parky58 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 This is the smallest and best quality I have heard - and on JHS's own exhibition stand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danburns Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 If quality isn't an issue and simplicity is, how about this - http://avslgroup.com...oduct/178.840UK Build quality isn't too bad on ours, and nor is sound quality - would probably do quite well for what the O/P wants. They're also releasing a new all in one - http://avslgroup.com/en/product/952.400UK (had a demo from the rep the other day - for something at that price point, it's not a bad little product. Just no top hat mounting for putting on a speaker stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundspider Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I may be too late but I've used http://www.astounded.com/pulse-megamouth-20w-wireless-portable-pa-system-3-radio-mics.html before, and its perfect for that kind of thing. Cheap too. Handheld, tie-clip or headset, so you have your choice. You can even play cassettes through it (remember those??). Hope that helps, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
