I am confused by the different portable battery operated PA systems. I am fussy about sound quality and need a compact system for very small venues, up to 60 or busking. Trouble is it has to have 3 inputs, for voc, keyboard and guitar. Has anyone a personal recommendation? the roland microcube is always recommended - BTW what are these like for vocals? Cheers Deni |

From: PennyBlack If you want the "bees knees" try the AER Compact Mobile Amp Ideal for busking, village fétes and other outdoor gigs, the Compact mobile is essentially identical to the Compact 60 in operation, with the addition of an Auxilliary input to attach a battery powered CD player. The batteries provide enough power to play without the mains for three to four hours, and the intelligent power control warns when the battery is getting low, preventing embarrassing losses of power during performance, and preventing the batteries being completely exhausted. A cable to connect to a cigarette lighter socket is available seperately 2 inputs plus the CD input - use a minimixer for your three inputs - AER make the best Acoustic Amps I've ever used - vocals sound good as well! I use a AER 60 for back line then DI into the main mixer - brill. not cheap - but well worth it PB |
