DJ Gig Log - Corporate Beach Event using Battery Power 

I appreciate all the kind words. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. The unit is pretty awesome. I use it a lot!

Gracias

Awesome, thanks.

Thanks for watching

Just got one ..I love it

Yes, it had 20% left over at the end of the event.

Would you say you played at medium volume throughout the full event?

@@jdavis8460 I would say I was up and down. There were some parts, for example the first hour and a half where I was loud. Not red lining but the occasional yellow. Then there were parts where the guests were sitting and eating in front of me so the music was low enough to be heard but they could still speak. That was probably about 45 to 50 min. The rest I would say I was loud enough to be heard but not felt. Thanks for watching.

4 speakers were passive being powered by the amplifiers...powered speakers are much more efficient on their own than a passive setup.

Every once in a while I will back up one of my friends who have regular spots in Ft. Laud or Miami. I myself do not have a regular club/lounge gig at this time. Thanks for watching.

According to the Websites documentation, Yes, you can use the unit while you have the Solar Panels connected and charging the unit. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the concern and thanks for watching. I was very careful with all my gear. This was not my "front line" stuff but as I said, I appreciate the concern.

For those of us who live at the beach, this is an everyday use for our gear! We are no always in an air conditionded ballroom. I'd rater be on the beach!

Thanks for watching.

Yes I agree there are many options. My thought process was not just for a Ceremony system. In one of the last video's I posted I did an event at a park where I needed to bring a Gas powered generator. In order to lift that generator in and out of my van I needed to ask for help. So I wanted something that could potentially replace that generator because there are times where there is no one around to help and I need to move fast. It is very cool that these types of devices exist and work for these types of applications. Thanks for watching.

@@Housemix10 Ohhhh okay gotcha! Yes that makes sense. I thought you were looking for a battery powered ceremony option only. My bad. Yes the Jackery is a great option to replace a gas generator.

@@DJ2Legit007 may I ask what battery you used? Thank you

HALO

We need to know the name of power bank please

Nice, thanks for watching

Ha ha, me encontrastes!!

Thanks for watching. First thing to confirm. Your speakers are passive, that is the only way you should use a amplifier. If you want to use a FLX10, MG12XU, and EV Tops and Subs you can do the following again as long as your speakers are passive and not powered. Connect the Output of your FLX10 to one of the channels of the MG12XU. Connect the output of your MG12XU to the Input on your amplifier. Connect the output of your Amplifier to your speakers.

@@Housemix10 mu speakers has bluetooth also so theres no problem on connectimg a power amplifier to the sprakers

Thanks for watching. I can tell you about two events I have done with it. The first was a Race at a large field. I used the same amount of speakers from this video, I used a XDJ RX2 instead of CDJ's. I would say the volume was much louder for a longer period of time that the 4 hours from this video and the Jackery lasted about 2.5 hours before it was needing to recharge. Another event, I rented it out to a friend who was DJ'ing on a float in a parade. 3 hr event, he used 2 QSC K12.2, controller and Laptop. No issues, the Jackery lasted the 3 HRs and still had about 20% left.

Ok, thanks for watching

Yes I think you should be good. The main issue you would need to watch is the draw you put on the unit by raising the volume. That is what will get you and kill the charge on the Jackery.

@@Housemix10 I was going to get the Jackery and was looking forward to their product but after doing some research I decided on the EcoFlow Delta 2. I learned that it has a 3 times longer battery life than the Jackery, has an app, and the battery engineering is more advanced.

I would compare the draw of a turntable to the draw of a CDJ. I would imagine it would not be much more. So about the same.

Thanks for watching. Check on line for a location close to you. I purchased mine from Amazon.

First off, thanks for watching. Yes, I could done the event with 2 speakers and I could have used a smaller control deck. But the main goal that I was trying to accomplish here was a real world stress test of the Jackery unit. Plus I usually don't like to drive my speakers so I always prefer to bring out more than enough speakers and then just let them coast. Instead of using two speakers and driving them hard to cover the area. I am very picky about how everything sounds and regardless of the client / event I want things to sound the way I like. That is cool the there are others reviewing battery packs. You can count me in as another supporter of them over just using battery powered speakers.

I was thinking the same, it looks like overkill. But it is like a stress test so thanks for the video.

It should, but I don't think the battery will last very long because Subs do take a lot of voltage. Thanks for Watching.

For this event I used my EV EKX 15 Passive speakers. They are rated at 1600W (Peak). Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. I have the 1500 and that can surely handle the XDJ RX3. If you want to get the 500 you would need to figure out how much of a power draw the RX3 uses and compare that to the output from the 500.

It matters if you were pushing the speakers or just playing soft music.

Thanks for watching. Subs really do draw a lot of wattage. It would really depend on how long you are planning to play and how loud you will be.

Ok, thanks for watching.

@@Housemix10 np

I’m with Leo. I’m loyal to QSC and didn’t want to reinvest into new battery powered speakers. I have a Jackery 850 to run the main mixer/mic/feedback suppressor system and 500s to independently run each speaker or speaker stack. Overkill, but I never have to be worried about the power supply when I need to push it hard at an event.

@@kentond1 if got power use it

Ok.

Thanks for watching. Good to know your calculation.

I am not a Electrician either but I do know that the wattage that your amp pushes to the speakers is not the same as what it consumes from the power current. Basically Wattage = Amps X Volts. You can look at the power section of your amp to determine the Amperage that it consumes, power draw. Volts should be there also. That is why I like this unit so much. The display actually shows you the wattage being pulled by what is plugged in.

@@Housemix10 all I want to know is would a Jackery 3000 power my dj setup for 5 hours. 4 speakers 8000 watts total plus a laptop 2 wash lights and a pioneer controller.

​@@djstevieo It is really not that simple. I have used the same exact equipment used in this video and played soft to moderately loud music and I was able to get 4 hours easily out of the Jackery. Another time I used the same equipment and played very loud music and I was only able to get 2 hours out of the Jackery. That is because the Amplifiers will draw more power as the music gets louder. Does this make sense to you?

Check the power consumption rating in your speaker info (sometimes have to go online to find it). For example I have DXR15 IIs and the actual power consumption Yamaha state is 130w and that will be at maximum
