Mid range battery powered active speaker.

   I have a venue we do a lot of tech for.
They have these absolutely horrible plastic battery powered speakers with twin microphone I think they are made by QTX. Sound like utter trash, batteries last about 10 seconds microphones feel like ice cream cones.

Now, I obviously want them to buy LSP500's but these are A out of the budget they want to spend and B to valuable to be left with their mic dropping wedding clientel.

Now there must be a middle ground people are using?

Thoughts?

	The JBL Eon One Compact might be worth a look. Looking at the specs, you can buy additional batteries for it, and they can be swapped out in seconds. The older ones I've used had a motorbike battery which needed dismantling to swap. The reviews seem very positive too. Edited by Lucasdude - 09 March 2023 at 9:00pm

	Bit of an outcast but I've been borrowing a friends Alto Transport 12s for a few gigs. Battery life is decent enough for moderate speech / low level music. Recharge time isn't too bad and the platic RF mic actually is usable with switchable bands! They are discontinued but might be worth checking out newer models? .p.
