Cant wait to get this. Will be using as a monitor for gigs. Using currently 2 SOUNDBOKS 3 for PA speakers paired with 2 RCF 708.AS MK2’s subs. Attached to my peavy 10AT external mixer and using the Pioneer DDJ Rev 7 for a controller. Love the set up!

Damn missed this live but just caught up! Didn't think there would be a livestream with it still kind of being Easter holidays! 9/10 kilos in one hand I hear you say - maybe they are trying to tempt you to get 2 to level the load 😃 I think you will need to bring back Balcony Beats On Tour with the campervan to properly test this out over the summer! 😉😉 Looks great and I'm sure it will be good for garden or small beach parties but the price 600 squid - no thanks. Can only afford this by risking playing a squid game 😨

Love your reviews. Disappointed this doesn't have XLR input but I understand this is centered around being a bluetooth speaker and not DJ. I have decided on getting the soundboks 3. I have EV Ekx 15 as mains and 15 ZLX as backup along with 12 inch battery powered american audio speakers. I think these soundboks 3 will be a nice upgrade to my AA12 battery speakers. Much more power and better bass. Plus I can rock them out at the river and not worry about water

this latency issue threw me off so much when I was holding some beach parties on a jbl speaker. due to it I decided to build a battery operated pa speaker setup utilising a battery generator an efficient tap 2.1 amp and high efficiency tops and subs (99db/1w and 101db/1w) dual top sub combo with the subs at 4 ohms on a serie cable for 8 ohm at the sub output works like a charm just a bit of a hassle to setup haha

There are also portable subwoofers nowadays from manufacturers such as Diamondboxx, Carvin Audio and Yorkville. I haven’t seen much news on them much less heard them in person/Europe. I’d love to see a review of yours on these! (Though I expect the weight and battery life might disappoint a little?)

If you do a group test, can you put it up against the Bose S1 Pro. I brought the Bose a few months ago to use as a DJ monitor on gigs, & I've been really really pleased with it. I'd be interested to see if if this gets anywhere near it. I also managed to find the Bose for approx £460 online, so considerably cheaper than this.

How well does adjusting the EQ do in modifying the sound? Does lowering that upper bass noticeably improve the sound?

The EQ can make quite a difference, but we struggled to make it sound as punchy as the Soundboks 3 - not surprising in some aspects because it's a smaller speaker.

@@digitaldjtips Its a biggy in the sense of comparing to Bose S1 or JBL EON, both having ample inputs .. when using as a solo performer it would have been handy to bluetooth the music and have use of a mic at the same time .. much like you can do with the Soundboks 3 .... The work-around for me is using a small USB powered mixer. As a Steel drum soloist performer and DJ, I now connect to the GO with the mixer (I have ipad / controller/mic connected hardwired) and have 2 soundboks 3 units remotely located. The SKAA facility is amazing!
