This is a smaller 800W system for events where MINIRIG V8 or Urban Legend is overkill – house parties, small outdoor shows, chill zones etc.
This system can fit in a hatchback (with room for camping gear), and can run well from an inverter and batteries, as all amps are efficient Class D.
This has been evolving for a few years with various amps, crossovers and speakers in play, the photo shows the state of the system as of mid 2021.
Since the picture there have been a few updates, noted below
Features as of December 2024:
- 150W+105W of Power Dynamics PDD500 Class D amplification driving Wharfedale Titan 8 passive satellite speakers.
- Behringer iNUKE 1000 Class D amp, bridged mono driving two 16 ohm 12″ Lorantz bass speakers in parallel for about 500W, in sealed enclosures.
- Crossover and EQ is a Symetrix 760 DSP processor, EQ tuned via measurement mic for an even response (the Wharfedale Titans a bit bright sounding without it), as well as managing the LF so the sealed bass enclosures work well.
- Allen & Heath ZED6 mixer provides a simple and clean front end for DJs and performers to connect to. Was a Yamaha MG06 until Dec 2024
- 1200W Pure Sine 12v->240vac inverter for when being run in “off-grid” mode
