Experiments in the field using a portable power station plus some portable loudspeakers with their own Lithium batteries.
Driving a relatively powerful compact system (and a lighting rig) at full throttle over the course of four hours with a single portable power station. How did it go?
If you’re in one of the 99.9 percent of acts who just need to put some lights up on stage or dance floor to get the party going, then you’ve come to the right place.
The choice of proper components, build quality, and attention to critical details is what separates a shoddy, trouble-plagued power distro system from one that will silently give many years of reliable – and safe – service.
Running sound systems (and more) at ongoing events using solar power stations and accompanying accessories. (An audio version of this article is also available for download.)
Challenging the long-standing warnings that claim electromagnetic (EM) radiation from AC power cables will couple into audio signal wires to create hum.
The author tests his hypothesis that a band can easily run from battery (and possibly solar) power for hours and offers three possibilities/directions.
The first step in any experiment is to figure out what we need to measure and set up a series of tests to gather empirical data. (A downloadable audio version of this article is also available.)
Taking advantage of a rapidly growing slate of options to effectively drive smaller-scale sound systems as well as instrument amps (and more) without electrical power. (A downloadable audio version of this article is also available.)
