Portable speaker for Player

Hey David !

People seems to be happy with the Headrush Go thing or the Spark Go.
Don’t expect it to deliver like 12 inches speakers tough…

I own a Marshall Bluetooth speaker and I remember testing it for that specific use case, and it worked. Maybe you have one of those laying around ?

I am also looking for a micro frfr speaker. At home I am generally playing with headphone but, just to get some sound out of the player when needed

Following the conversation..

I have a Spark 2 that I took in holiday this year and it sounds honestly great, loud enough to carry a barbecue evening we had with 20 people

Just for fun at home I have connected my Stage to the AUX in of the Spark, and after adjusting the output EQ the result was good. Definitely a fun little box. Used it also for Karaoke (with an acoustic amp preset) and was sounding 10 times better then any sub- 500€ dedicated BT box.

Alternatively everybody talks well about the Bose S1 Pro

Morning,

I’m back in love with my Kemper after buying a 100 w valve amp for home use, it has a great master volume taper but now have a question.

Sometimes, when we go on holiday we actually don’t get on a plane but go somewhere here in the UK in the car.

I’ll take a guitar, but if I bought a Kemper Player then it could come with us too and I could take all my amazing sounds with me.

I assume I can use headphones, but what small portable frfr speaker would people recommend?

Would something like the Headrush frfr GO 30 do ok?

Or should I just buy something like a Yamaha THR or Spark?

Thanks,

David

You can use small studio speakers ; anything that is a reasonable monitor will work. Even some computer speakers might do the job. It might help to choose something that has an adjustment for the high frequency level. I use a pair of mAudio (bx8a) but you could go even smaller for easy portability.

I have the Spark Go for vacation travel. The sound out of it's headphone jack is awesome, and it's a great way to practice in hotel rooms and such.

This is my minimalist setup with

1. Kemper Profiler Player (Level III)
2. Battery pack with a USB-C to 2.1 mm (negative center adapter)
3. Bose S1 Pro+ (note: the newer S1 Pro+ has built-in wireless receivers)
4. Bose Wireless instrument transmitter
5. Bose S1 Pro Backpack, which can easily carry everything shown, plus a microphone and a Bose Wireless XLR/Mic transmitter

Here are the details.
When using the Bose Wireless Transmitters, the wired 1/4 inch input becomes an insert loop. You can connect an Insert cable (1/4 inch tip-ring-sleeve to two 1/4 inch tip-sleeve) to the 1/4-inch input on the Bose S1 Pro+.

1. Connect the Bose Wireless Transmitter to the Guitar
2. Connect the Kemper Profiler Player to the insert loop with an insert cable

Why were the 80s so awesome? This is why. You'll need to add a pocket sewn in for the player and a battery pack tho...maybe some more speakers...

IK Multimedia iLoud monitors.

You can take one or both depending on how much room you have and/or how badly you need stereo.

I like them better than the Spark2 I had or the Yamaha THR 10 I used to use for that purpose.

Give a look at Red Sound, they make any sort of monitors for modellers
