Thank you for your content. You have by far the most comprehensive Minirig information I have come across. I have a problem I hope you could help me with and that could potentially increase your viewership. I am a truck driver(lorry?) and I essentially live in my company truck. The stereo is not good enough for music mainly because it does not go below 65hz and the directional speakers are in a terrible location. I am not allowed to modify the truck including the radio and/or speakers. I would like to have a pair of Minirigs on my dashboard and a home theater subwoofer in the truck bunk. I need (ok just want) 35hz before dropping off so the Minirig sub isn’t going to be an option. Your videos about Minirigs suggest that they could be a solution to my problem because they have a subwoofer out ability. I have a perfect spot for a subwoofer in my truck, a large built in power inverter to plug the subwoofer into, and already own a subwoofer that I’m not using. Have you ever plugged a large home subwoofer into your Minirigs? If yes, does the Minirig’s DSP limit the lowest frequencies sent to the subwoofer or would it send 35hz and lower thumps to the subwoofer? I have done hours of searching on RU-vid and Google and no one has addressed the external sub question directly. Minirig’s website kinda sorta maybe suggests that it is possible, but I would really like to know before I buy more stuff that might or might not solve my problem. Maybe you would consider doing a video where you plug a home music and theater subwoofer into your Minirigs. I could totally see a lot of people wanting a set of omnidirectional speakers on their desks with an affordable home subwoofer on the floor next to the desk. Sorry for the length of this message. Cheers.

nice review....try putting the sub on the ground with the back end against the wall, and the sub really shines...anyone that owns a Minirig, should purchase the subwoofer...it makes such a difference...an amazing piece of technology in the portable speaker world.

I’m in touch with minirig support and it’s coming down to interference from other WiFi/Bluetooth devices when two minirigs are being synced in stereo mode. I’ve been told that if there are too many other WiFi/BT devices the speakers will start cutting off. If I use only one speaker at the time the BT connection is pretty good As soon as they synced in stereo mode, and further away from each other (1.5-2 meters) they become useless. It’s seems like they only will work further away in perfect environment with very low number of other wireless devices. I’m not going even mention how awful it is to use their app and try to have it connect to those speakers. If I’m using Spotify and turn the minirig app on at the same time, it won’t connect to those speakers. I have to close Spotify and refresh minirig app several times to have it work. Overall, great hardware, but terrible everything else. Not sure if it’s worth this much money at this point.

Amazings videos! Thanks!!. Now im waiting for the 2.2 setup video review..

Had fun with these reviews =) If the minirigs are always going to be at home, it could be worth considering studio monitors and a studio sub =) The minirig has always been for me hanging while I walk on my side or by my stomach , get quiite good response that way when your outside, always wished for more sub as hate the way it cuts the bass off at such a low volume, it could definitely go louder without that cut off, shame the sub needs a cable, it's good that it goes to 57 hz, shame the 450 hz area is where the cut off is, thats huge, my monitors at home go down to 45hz, bought a sub that goes to 30hz, can really appreciate music with good low end. That increase from 45hz to 30 hz is huge, so it's hard to know if that 57hz is worth it completely. Would of loved to of had a minirig on left and right with stereo and a sub on the waist, it's a lot of money, 1 minirig is better than none, if you keep the volume low enough, the bass doesn't cut off so you still get good clarity, it's almost as clear as a proper rig in a party, as close as it gets to having a studio monitor really for something that's so small :) If you got the money it's worth having the lot, if you can't afford, worth getting 1. You can really tell the difference in the audio recordings aswell, it's nice :)

I managed to reach the best sound dynamic with 1.1 solution by setting the MINIRIG 3 to LOW GAIN, the MINIRIG Sub 2 set to HIGH GAIN, and in the software EQ set the two low frequency channels slightly lower than default zero, the higher channels a bit upper from default. Mid range not changed. Perfect sound up to 75% volume... 😄😄😄

Great review, thanks. Your audio recording is great.

Hi Alan - it was the ‘fidelity ‘ portable player . You locked the stylus so you could carry like a large piece of hand luggage briefcase ha ha . Plus I had my vinyls case . I was like a walking music centre . Like you say ....I just remember stuff sounding great ! Maybe we are more critical ..... but I never remember any of my systems sounding boxy or covered .... I hate a covered sound . 🎶😱 Well enjoy the MiniRigs until the next best thing ....we’ll see what comes out this Spring . 😆⭐️ 🎶 I am going to keep with A1’s for a bit so I can really get use to them as they do sound amazing ..... but obviously not as punchy as the Beolit 17 but the wide stereo sound is detailed and fun and they sound full at low volume 🎶C

My goodness I cannot decide between dual Soundcore Motion+ or dual Minirig Mk3's. I know the bang for buck is the motion plus's but the Minirig 3's probably give me much more flexibility in connections to TV's etc.. (Sync issues) but hope they sound better than the Motion +'s as well. STRUGGLING!

need to correct some wrong info. David the owner of Minirig got in touch with me to say regards the tuning, it is tuned to take account of all listening positions and because most people listen off-axis they have taken that into account. However I still wouldnt have changed the recordings to this point because i want to measure as accurately as possible the actual sound of the speaker in isolation. However the point is they now say the treble does take into account off-axis listening. It is also true that the minirig support twice told me it didnt :) Also the subwoofer is 30 watts not 15 watts as I said. I read that off their specs page which says +15w but the actual amplifier in the manual is 30 watts.

Great videos Alan.. I have a quick question. Is it normal for the Minirig sub 3 to play vocals and instrumentals? When I turn the volume down on my Minirig 4s you can still here the music playing through the sub 3. Or is the crossover and low-pass filter settings not correct?

I wished to see that one or two full range drivers on the sub, it could be more portable like that :D

Hello, thx 4 your clips! I don't understand all cause my english is not the best. But very interesting and entertaining. 😎 What do you think is the best EQ setting for the Minirig 3?

It’s ok guys and girls the v3 sub is out in September and is 40 watts to match the mr3s. I have the mr3 and subv2 1.1 but at hight volumes you can hear the sub stop gaining as the mr3 goes that bit louder. The v3 sub will pump up with it with the extra 10 watts. It’s the same enclosure but higher powered amp and driver and if I’m right the ports inside will be adjusted slightly to make the air flow smoother at that volume. I can’t wait to get mine. £139.👍

Minirig they are nice speakers, yes I like the sound of them, beautiful sounds from that product, let the Bluetooth speaker sound true, Bluetooth sub (Sasha be as one)

Hi Alan, do you know if it's possible to connect a Minirig to a 3rd party subwoofer?

The sub is actually 30w 😁

Just one question, before maybe buying my second Minirig 3. If I want to play two Minirig 3s in stereo using cables, do I need one or two AUX cables between the two speakers? I want to send wireless bluetooth signals to one of the speakers from my phone.

It's great that you compare to the closest equivalent JBL. Now with the newer releases, what would you recommend? -A Minirig Sub 3 along with 2x Minirig Mk3 -Or a JBL Xtreme 3? -And compared to JBL Boombox 2? I know from reviews that the Minirig 2.2 setup surprisingly sounds better and louder than the gigantic Boombox 2, but what about the 2.1 setup, with only one subwoofer? Also I have a question about the Minirig setup: I will use it only with AUX (no Bluetooth). Is it possible to keep the whole setup (2 Mk 3 and one Sub 3) plugged in to AUX all the time, and simply power off with the button when not using, and back on when you want to use it (without having to ever unplug the AUX cables)? This is important for my setup because I don't want to have to unplug/replug the AUX every time I use the speakers.

Hey mate awsome video love it but I wanted to ask you that have u updated the minirig 3 from v12 to v14 if yes then is there any difference in sound???

Im sure they have a subwoofer 3 in the works. I will stick with my minirig 2.1 version 2. More than enough for what it is. A portable speaker setup loud enough to make the neighbors in the next hotel room call security haha

Radiation is off the scale

Great review Alan! I have one minirig 2 and the sub, i would like to get the 3 but do you think it works well the setup with the minirig v.3, 2 and the sub or better a setup with two minirigs 2 and sub? The sound level is not the same

Thanks for all the info....... i thought when you went too the extreme on FV its bass just got too dominate , for my taste

I own 2.2 system. 2 Minirig 2 + 2 subs! I use it with mix controller (with cables). Noticed that sounds sometimes cuts out. Hope this is not the case with minrig 3! Ordered minirig 3 last week. Support says minirig 3 should be more stable.. what do you think?

Hi , thanks for your review and sorry for my bad english but, from what I understand, you said you would prefer a 1.1 minirig 3 system than a 2.0 . How about paring two minirig in bluetooth and wire subwofer wired to the Master Speaker ? Does it make any sense ? Would it worth it ?

How to downgrade the MINIRIG 3 and sub 3? Since update 19 it lost its loudness and bass. (The sub 3 mainly) It’s really frustrating. I told the support about this over a year now. But nothing happened. No new firmware and no possibility to downgrade. Pisses me really off. Factory reset didn’t help. The house shattering (bassy) sound is gone…

Good in-depth review. Well now they have a miinisub 3 out, any chance you could get your hands on one and pair that with the minirig 3?

Hi there, I bought a Minirig 3 but I think it might be defective?... Does anyone else get a popping sound with bass kicks on medium to high volumes after only a few minutes of playtime? Seems like maybe the battery discharges fast and can't provide enough power to the amp properly? Pretty disappointed because there's no issue with it immediately after I fully charge it, it's actually pretty damn amazing!! ...but only for a few minutes.. Can't seem to find anyone else mention this online.

Hi, I am technically challenged and wondered if it's possible to connect an iPod to a mini rig? Thanks.

My MINIRIG mini syncs nice with the mr3 for stereo. I guess there’s no need for a second mr3 just yet. V3 sub next. YehAy.

@Alan Ross Reviews, between Minirig 3 1.1 system and JBL xtreme 2, which one has a more fuller and warmer bass response?

You said, you would prefer one minirig3 with the sub instead of two minirigs 3 in stereo. Don’t you think that for someone who listen to moderates levels ( about 50% vol level) two minirigs 3 in low mode(since they sound fuller) at 60% vol would be more satisfying? Wouldn’t you prefer at that level the stereo(two minirigs3) instead of one minirig 3 with the sub?

If highs are a bit sticky with minirig 3s, cant you fix that in eq app? It seems that you can lock eq in app!

Alan when i use aux cable to connect my jbl xtreme it play not much loud as with bluetooth connection! why ?

your the only person with these minirigs and I have the dockin d fine. its fukin good bass it really does have more bass than jbl xtreme as of vibrating the floor bass :P do you mind telling me do the minirig subwoofer have better bass than the dockin? i can feel the dockin shaking my desk but does this minirig have better> i was thinking of buying minirig for jbl speaker or dockin but is it worth it does the minirig have good bass on its own ? please

Hello Alan, i received my minirig 3 / 2.2 Setup at home and im wondering if you can tell me your custom EQ. Many thanks and kind regards!

I wanna buy a 2.2 setup (two minirigs 3 + two subs v2) or maybe i need to wait for a possible sub v3 in the future.. (any advice) sorry for my english 😥

Anker soundcore motion boom

i like these vids, but might be good to edit the bits you repeat ;)

Are you saying that the bundle of having 2 minirig 3s with a subv3 is pointless?

Not sure whether to get minirig mini or minirig 3? Anyone heard how the minis go with subs?

In your opinion, how would the minirig 1.1 compare to the Bose revolve plus w.r.t bass and sound quality? Not considering portability or function features, Just for a person interested in the pleasure of pure sounding speakers.

Is this a minirig 3 subwoofer or a minirig 2 subwoofer?

How to cenect 2.0 mr3 in mono both? App dont have that option or i miss it?

Sir minirig 4 May come in near future?

How does it sound with good music?

Radiation? Just after buying these mo fo, disappointed not to say

Not very loud

Hi mate. Have you ever had an issue where your sub stops outputting any sound literally after a few seconds no matter what? Tried everything. Even sent it back to them and they said there’s no issue with it. Losing the will to live. I have two subs and neither of them work 🥲
