Soundboks 3 Speaker Review - LOUDEST portable DJ speaker ever?

Рет қаралды 23,752

Күн бұрын

When it comes to battery powered speakers for DJing, they don't come much more powerful than the 126dB Soundboks 3. But with low-latency wireless, long battery life, the ability to gang units together, and a useful app for EQ and more, these speakers have got brains as well as brawn. In this Soundboks 3 review, I check them out from the point of view of using them as DJ speakers.

Update from Denmark (were they are made): They have now been banned from use in certain areas of Copenhagen after 8 on weekdays and 10 on Fridays and Saturdays

Totally agree it would be great if they offered a sub as well. My solution is pairing a couple of these with a currently unused JL Audio 12 W7-3 in a factory spec ported box on wheels. The Soundboks' are on order so I haven't tested it yet but that should easily cover the missing low end.

We hate them in Denmark (were they are from) But it's mainly because EVERYONE in Copenhagen have them, so every park or stretch of beach have a few of them doing a sound volume battle The company behind them were actually in the national news several times last year, where they were asked what they was going about ruining outdoor live for everybody There were even talks about banning them from being used outside

When you link up multiple SBs, in the app you cat set each individual one to play Left/Right/Mono. 5 connect wirelessly, if you need more synced you run cable between 2 masters (and have 4 slaves connect wirelessly to each).

It depends on how loud you want it to be for that party. If you want it to hurt your ear being loud then you probably should have two or more soundbokses but if you need loudness that is very loud but bot extremly loud then one soundboks will do the trick

The design on the thin Battery lead being what holds the Battery looks terrible, i imagine said lead not lasting very long on even damaging the connection on the Speaker itself after a while of being moved about and Battery changes ect. Also if you using them at Home/Indoors why no way to run off the mains without the Batteries as it will extend the life of your Batteries greatly, unless it does this but its not clear from the video. They certainly look like a good first effort but for the monies they are asking some of these basic things need to be addressed for the next iteration for sure.

@digitaldjtips 3 жыл бұрын

You can run them off the mains at home by inserting the battery charging lead into the speaker socket.
