LD Systems Road Jack 8

Useful for ad hoc assemblies

We bought this for use by our Assistant Heads of School during assemblies. Since they hold this in different areas, a mobile PA was a necessity. Handles this kind of use easily, plus added bonus of being able to connect other devices.

Great for busking

Bought this speaker for busking around London, had it about 6 months and it hasn't let me down.

Battery life is excellent, hasn't died on me once - in fact it hasn't even dropped below the 2nd LED battery light, but then I typically only use it for up to 4 hours at a time.

Sound quality is very good for the price. It maybe loses a little quality if the volume is pushed high, and I tend to notice my vocal competes with my guitar a bit at high volumes, but it's not a serious issue.

It's nice and sturdy and easy to transport with it's wheels. My favourite bit about it is how compatible it is and how nicely the front panel is set out, making plugging in or connecting via bluetooth very easy. The bluetooth connectivity is a real cool feature and very useable - maintains connection up to a reasonable distance and allows mp3 volume/track control fro both the speaker and the player.

All in all a very handy speaker for the price.
