Thanks for the video! I already own a Soundboks 4 and am thinking of adding a DFB for outside use. I have two questions: 1. Can the DFB properly handle rain, both just sitting there, playing music and being carried, i.e. with the power input and button directly facing the rain? 2. If I connect the Soundboks via XLR to my mixer and connect the DFB via Skaa to the Soundboks, is the latency low enough for DJing (with some effects, filters...) 140+ BPM music like Techno or Trance?
1. DFB is not officially water resistant, so it is not recommended to expose it to excessive water or moisture. The top, sides, and back are not going to be an issue, but you definitely don't want to get water in the front panel, or especially not in the ports. However, if it rains a little bit during a gig, you will likely be fine. Just tip the DFB forward a bit by putting something under the back feet to keep water out of the ports. 2. XLR to SB and then SKAA to DFB will be just fine for DJ'ing. Just make sure to put Soundboks in "SKAA Pro" mode in the Soundboks app. This lowers the latency to 19 ms, going to all receivers.
No. Alternatively, you can use SKAA Nadja to connect to Soundboks over Bluetooth, and then Soundboks will function as a HUB transmitter and relay the audio down to DFB. This is called TeamUp in the Soundboks vernacular. Here's a video on how to set that up: ruclips.net/video/3mwytUtkiV0/видео.htmlfeature=shared
For 1 DFB + 2 Soundboks, you could use any SKAA transmitter and send audio to all 3 receivers. Alternatively, you could send audio over Bluetooth to 1 Soundboks in HOST mode, then fire up your DFB and second Soundboks (in JOIN mode) and they will both bond to the first Soundboks, because it's functioning as a SKAA Nadja hub transmitter in HOST mode.
Absolutely! EQ Preset zero (no LED) has no high pass filter, so no low cut all the way down to 20 Hz. I use that mode in my studio. But if you want more bass punch, EQ preset 2 is probably your best bet. Made for hip hop and other bass heavy genres. Just tap the power button twice, then turn the volume knob until you land on the EQ mode you want.

Obviously these are very niche, perform well and serve a purpose, but they are SO big it’s probably easier and cheaper at that scale to just use conventional gear with a large capacity power station? The sub looks like boutique studio gear so not built road rugged, and it doesn’t appear to have ANY audio in/out connectors so you can’t use it with any other brand, battery powered BT PA speakers and just run an xlr to the sub? You have to go Soundboks or buy the tx/rx gear which makes a fantastic looking sub immediately incompatible with 99% of gear out there? Why?🤔
The whole point of SKAA is to avoid Bluetooth - for lower latencies, and better audio quality - and also to eliminate the need for any long cable runs, and eliminate the need for power. It's certainly a niche thing, but we are fine with that. The idea is that you can take 1 Pro Audio transmitter and connect any DJ deck or mixer to it, and then send audio wirelessly to 2 Soundboks + 2 DFBs. Bringing conventional gear would mean: cables every where, possibly amplifiers needed if your speakers are passive, and if your power is a portable power station, you're adding $1-2k at least for a high capacity one, and it will not likely give you enough long lasting power. With Dani, Soundboks and DFB you could probably play 2 long gigs without needing a recharge. We are also working with other companies to develop additional wireless receiver options - for example Electronic Stage One speakers can also be used in the same way. And if latency isn't an issue and you prefer not using a SKAA transmitter, you can connect to 1 Soundboks via Bluetooth, then use Soundboks' TeamUp feature to connect to the DFB wirelessly - no need for XLR chaining. You can actually connect to up to 4 additional receivers from a single Soundboks, using TeamUp. So just using BT and 5 speakers you could create a completely wireless battery powered sound system for a venue or event. We did a video on this TeamUp feature here, although, we call it "Nadja" in the SKAA world. That portion starts around the 3 minute mark. ruclips.net/video/6H9B9qJ-6CY/видео.htmlfeature=shared
@@SKAAsoundSounds great but like I said, if you already have 2 good battery powered top speakers and want the new battery powered sub you need to start from scratch with soundboks. Shame. I’d buy the sub but only if it had a simple xlr in. As it stands It’s too proprietary for my needs. Thanks for the info.👍
@@SKAAsound I have to say, as a (current) owner of two DFB, I appreciate the niche and proprietary features of them- but where I do draw the line is they should come with an XLR in just as the other commenter says. Everything else about them is great but it's a level of inflexibility that is a tough pill to swallow.

Can you use this accessory with the soundboks go
Yes! If you want to use DFB with Soundboks Go, the procedure will be exactly the same.
can i use my soundboks as an transmitter via connekting it to bluthooth
You can yes!
Is Cassandra or another transmitter required to connect and use DFB with Soundboks?
No. Alternatively, you can use SKAA Nadja to connect to Soundboks over Bluetooth, and then Soundboks will function as a HUB transmitter and relay the audio down to DFB. This is called TeamUp in the Soundboks vernacular. Here's a video on how to set that up:

@@SKAAsound Thanks!
this one and 2 of Soundboks 4?
For 1 DFB + 2 Soundboks, you could use any SKAA transmitter and send audio to all 3 receivers.

Is it possible to connect the soundboks with bluetooth and make it the host to connect with the DFB?
Yup! The DFB will Bond to the SB4 when it is in Host mode no problem, allowing you to use your phone or any other device as the Bluetooth source.
@@SKAAsound will it then also control the volume of the DFB?
🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥
Are the 2 sets of speakers set up for stereo?
You can set them as Left and Right if you want that. DFB subs can too. Easy and they’ll stay that way till u change them back to mono.
i listen to alot of rap and hiphop, will i be able to choose between very deep bass or punchy bass?
Absolutely! EQ Preset zero (no LED) has no high pass filter, so no low cut all the way down to 20 Hz. I use that mode in my studio. But if you want more bass punch, EQ preset 2 is probably your best bet. Made for hip hop and other bass heavy genres. Just tap the power button twice, then turn the volume knob until you land on the EQ mode you want.
@@SKAAsound when will we actually see real demos on this?
I didn't hear this but I'm gonna say it a JBL party box killer
Months and months go by with no review or video of how they perform....... We all wait impatiently
