Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, with a complete system you should aim to get one with a 12V rechargeable battery which charges when the system is simply plugged into the mains, it houses both a CD player with USB port for MP3 playback and a UHF Radio Microphone receiver which should come with a handheld radio microphone as standard.
Looking to get one with an onboard voice priority circuit operated by a single switch will enable the music to be mixed discreetly into the background whilst announcements are being made over the microphone making it a very versatile for professionals and beginners alike.
The whole unit is incredibly portable with wheels and a pullout handle for manoeuvring and it has a pole mount for sitting on top of a speaker stand. The system is just one single speaker, though you can buy additional active or passive units to add and supplement the sound from a large range of PA systems. We recommend buying the system with a single lightweight speaker stand and a waterproof cover to ensure it remains portable and even use it in wet conditions.
We would recommend getting a Portable PA System which has the following features incorporated: 200W Music Power, 12V Rechargeable Battery that has a 10 Hours Charge Time. Ideally you should get around 6 Hours Music Play whilst running on battery with around 10 Hours Speech Time whilst on the battery. With regards to input and output you should be looking for microphone inputs and 1 line input, with additionally an active output with line out and speaker out.
If you intend on using this for multipurpose I would recommend getting a remote control which can be used with the CD player which on board. In addition to a CD player you should be able to have the option of a cassette deck and extension speakers. The microphone that you should get with the above spec will most likely to be on the 863 - 865MHz Frequencu Range, UHF.
