One powered speaker, no mixer and no pile of cables. You pair a phone over Bluetooth, or plug in a USB stick, an SD card or a laptop on the mini-jack input, and the playlist is sorted. The 15 inch driver puts out 400W RMS, which comfortably fills a hall, a marquee or a field with a couple of hundred people on it.

This is the speaker we send to small jobs: birthday parties, presentations, background music at a fun day, announcements at a sports day. It will take up to two wireless microphones when someone has speeches to make, extra speakers can be linked to cover a wider area, and the flange in the base means it goes on a stand rather than sitting on the floor.

It works outdoors too. We've supplied it to Scout camps running entirely off our generators, and for a field with no mains power you can add the 1kw petrol generator or the 6kva diesel generator. If your event is bigger than one speaker can cover, look at the Large PA Logic System, the medium EV ELX system or line array hire, and we can put a sound engineer on the job.

From £49, delivered and set up by our own drivers. Delivery on this item carries a £125 minimum spend, so it usually travels out as part of a bigger booking. Collection from our Rotherham warehouse is possible instead, subject to a deposit and photo ID. The speaker is an add-on rather than a standalone booking, so there is no quote button on this page. Add it from the extras list when you get a quote on any other item, or get in touch and we'll add it to the booking for you.
