      Great Solution! BUT... Everyone has been sleeping on the Samson Expedition Rechargeable Series. I've had the 6" for over a year and its great, but I needed more volume for larger ceremonies over 60 people. They just released a 10" and 12" version. I have the 10" and it's loud with great sound quality. It provides 10+ hours of batter life. It's bluetooth enabled. Plus it has a wireless mic built in with the option to expand to 3 mics. 300ft range on the built in mic. The only gripe I have is that the mixer is on the top of the speaker. So... if you have it on a speaker stand you've got to be 6ft tall to reach and adjust the volume knobs by touch. www.samsontech.com/samson/products/portable-pa/expedition-rechargable/

    Great video! Like your ideas. We have 8 Senhiesser LSP battery wireless speakers we occasionally use for smaller, corporate stuff and speeches. They are awesome because you can do a huge space and set delays in each one if needed. Also, the fact you can run them wireless without any xlr is awesome too. They are definitely not the loudest by any means, but sometimes the client will prefer the aesthetic over sound.

    Thank you John Simmons for giving me the answer to a question that I hadn't quite properly asked. Been looking for a battery powered speaker solution that didn't require me to be stuck to an all in one battery powered system, that might not have the sound quality or build quality that I wanted, WITHOUT having to spend a ton of money on. Hadn't realized that they made these units in that size WITH an AC receptacle built in. THANKS!!!

  • @DJMichaelKhoury

    John, I took your advice on this as I already have a battery powered speaker, and I am almost at 4 hours powering my Shure BLX4R wireless mic with it and the unit battery still has 2 bars, and I left the mic transmitter on the entire time too. This will do more than I need for a simple 30-45 minute outdoor ceremony in the middle of a field. Thanks for the suggestion!

    We have been using the Halo for almost three years now. It has performed without any problems. We have even powered our photobooths with it at different remote locations. In fact, at our local expos, it costs about $100 just to have electricity. We have even used our halos to power our TVs on trusses.

    Will be using to power mics at ceremonies. Thanks John!

    Thanks for the video! I saw that BSR video that you mentioned & it got me shopping around on amazon. The battery he mentioned looked like a decent power source for a small mixer and wireless mics reciever, but that's about it. I'm with you on not wanting to drop more $ on a battery powered speaker when I've already got sooo many in my garage.. Anyway, I shopped around and stumbled on the bolt as well. Had the highest mah rating I could find and a lot of reviews said they actually used it successfully to jump their car! It's been sitting in my saved for later items because I wasn't sure how effective it'd be for powering a speaker, but this video may have sold me on it. I don't know how often I'll use it, but it sounds like a great backup to have in a pinch. Whether it's at the gig or on the way to it!

    @theteenageengineer 2 года назад

    You could also build your own battery system. You can take an old flight case or rack and get a couple 12 volt car batteries, put them in parallel and get a 1000 watt or 2000 watt inverter, just make sure its a pure sin wave and not modified, because you could destroy your equipment with a modified sin wave inverter and you are pretty much set. If you want it to look really nice though I would suggest the rack method, because then you can make a custom front panel where you can have a few outlets you wire into the inverter and maybe some breakers and a charge port, and you can use a normal lead acid 12 volt battery charger.

    Hi I came across this video back in June of this year. I purchased the halo bolt 58830 for my small ceremony system. Used for 3 or 4 ceremony flawlessly and now all the sudden with a full charge it won't last more then 10 min and then flash red then shut down. Just wondering if you or anyone else has had this problem. Thank you

    I bought 2 of these Halos. Neither one was powerful to turn on my QSC K-10. The batt.packs were charged for 8hrs. But apparently their site says it’s not rated to power up devices more than 65watts or less. I don’t know anything about wattage/voltage. I need help!

    I'm watching but you have not said if there is a 110vac inverter included in this battery. When you were displaying it, I thought I saw a 110v outlet but not sure :) As I watch i see it now but what is the rated output wattage?

    John, I landed on your channel for a DMX tutorial a few hours ago and I've been watching all your vids since. I totally love the way you communicate, and the way you treat your people. The paycheck segment for your young guy was great.
    Question: For your extended off-shore power gigs, why not consider a deep cell battery? Or two? The Bolt is amazing, but its only 58 amps. One single deep cycle battery can provide 125 amps. My solar security lighting is 250 amps. And you can take a huge amount of power out without cooking it.

    Thanks for this info, I was just surfin and found you so I decided to watch. I already have a battery powered pa system that I use for outdoor events and it gives me 6-9 hours of sound, the problem is it is made for speech. I had been looking for a bigger system with a 12" but now I can rethink that with the halo and use it for many purposes. Some of the trade show's I have done have wanted $500 for electricity over and above the booth fees. I am looking into a photo booth printer and I can see the Halo having multiple uses. What printer are you using for your photo booth?

    Great video. Couldn't agree more about those damn whisper generators. They're noisy, stink up the car and I usually spend half the gig chasing kids away from them.
    Instead I've been playing my gigs with the Aeiusny UPS-500AD. It cost about $300 on Amazon and holds 500Whs. A typical ceremony like you described brings it down to about 80%. After the ceremony I'll charge it up during dinner and use it to run my lighting tree. Saves me a lot of time and tape and lasts about 6 hours with 4 LEDs and 2 lasers.
    A couple months ago i hooked it up to a 60 watt solar panel and played an outdoor gig. After 4 hours of powering my deck, laptop, wireless mic and 2 Yamaha stagepas 300s. The battery was still at around 30%.
    This thing is probably the best DJ purchase I've made all year. With the whisper generators costing $50/day to rent this thing paid for itself and then some within the first few months.

    Hello all, I am not the most knowledgable about things but I research a lot before I make a purchase. While studying up on this product I found out that the marketing that the company does for this product is a little misleading. The product for most seems to be a 58,000+ Mah power bank; however it isn’t. They have actually placed the proper amount in plain sight ... it is a 58,000+ Mwh power bank that if converted to Mah would actually be a less than 18,000 Mah power bank ( which I already have a bunch of those around my home ). I will admit this product does have interesting features but still tries to fool you with actually how much power it holds. This is not at all a hit or dis on John; I absolutely love this guy, what he does, and the content he puts out. I just wanted to make sure all were informed properly. Keep doing what your doing. You keep putting stuff out and I’ll keep watching.

      You should anyway bringing your own cocktail table. Since years ago, I don’t want to bother the venue or anybody to provide me with tables, cloths, etc. And It saves lot’s of time. This setup with the laptop shelf on the speaker stand is nice for cocktail but I would not use it for ceremony as most of thé time, you can’t stand next to the speaker. So I would always place myself, mics and mixer on the side to make sure that the photographer don’t catch me on his pics.

    John, I know this post is 2 years old, but please help me out here... What am I missing from this equation? The HALO Bolt yields 58830 milliwatt hours of power. For simplicity, we’ll convert that to 58.83 watt hours. That means that it can power something that pulls 58 watts, for up to one hour before it runs out of juice. In order to double that run time and get 2 hours of use, you’d have to be running something that only pulls 29 watts (half of 58). So how in the world can you be running a fairly powerful speaker (even at only moderate volume) AND a wireless mic receiver and only be pulling 29 watts??? Surely, that speaker draws way more than that. I’m confused. How is this even possible??
