- Battery powered systems seem to be all the rage right now. If you're like me, you'd rather utilize what you already have instead of buying a new system. In todays video, im going to show you how!

GET YOUR OWN HALO BOLT BY SMASHING THE LINK BELOW! amzn.to/2In3p95
Great Solution! BUT... Everyone has been sleeping on the Samson Expedition Rechargeable Series. I've had the 6" for over a year and its great, but I needed more volume for larger ceremonies over 60 people. They just released a 10" and 12" version. I have the 10" and it's loud with great sound quality. It provides 10+ hours of batter life. It's bluetooth enabled. Plus it has a wireless mic built in with the option to expand to 3 mics. 300ft range on the built in mic. The only gripe I have is that the mixer is on the top of the speaker. So... if you have it on a speaker stand you've got to be 6ft tall to reach and adjust the volume knobs by touch. www.samsontech.com/samson/products/portable-pa/expedition-rechargable/

Have you used it since your video, if so how did it perform?
Hi! How many of the Halo Bolt do you think it’ll take for 2 - 15s powered speakers, 1 - 18” sub and some party lighting?
*A quiet **Generater.Systems** , love the dual fuel capabilities, camper is 50 amp but the adapter helps and found it still handles the load. Haven't taken a camping trip yet, that's in a couple of weeks. Will see how well it does over a long weekend.*
I am so glad you tested this, ive been watching Barrs and Ricks videos and I am in the same boat as you. Want to use what I have, and this is perfect!
That's pretty sweet! Beats hauling a bunch of extension cables, and you're pretty much guaranteed no ground loops as a bonus. You could load up one of these per speaker.
It is a good solution for some people and situations. Thank you very much for showing us this. You're doing all of us a great service as usual.
Your music always heals. It has been a major support system for me while I've been tackling and overcoming some mental health issues since 2011. Thank you for doing what you do
GREAT Video and very informative. Thanks and continued success in all you love & do!
John ... another great video! Keep 'em coming - respect from Sydney Australia
Thank you John Simmons for giving me the answer to a question that I hadn't quite properly asked. Been looking for a battery powered speaker solution that didn't require me to be stuck to an all in one battery powered system, that might not have the sound quality or build quality that I wanted, WITHOUT having to spend a ton of money on. Hadn't realized that they made these units in that size WITH an AC receptacle built in. THANKS!!!
Great video! Like your ideas. We have 8 Senhiesser LSP battery wireless speakers we occasionally use for smaller, corporate stuff and speeches. They are awesome because you can do a huge space and set delays in each one if needed. Also, the fact you can run them wireless without any xlr is awesome too. They are definitely not the loudest by any means, but sometimes the client will prefer the aesthetic over sound.
John, I took your advice on this as I already have a battery powered speaker, and I am almost at 4 hours powering my Shure BLX4R wireless mic with it and the unit battery still has 2 bars, and I left the mic transmitter on the entire time too. This will do more than I need for a simple 30-45 minute outdoor ceremony in the middle of a field. Thanks for the suggestion!
i was thinking the same to use a battery powered speaker just to ease the load on the power pack
Thank you for this video! Great idea!
Wondered about these battery packs. Works great. Thanks for the video my brother!
Dude, your video quality game has been stepped up. Keep it up.
Awesome! I just bought one for my ceremony set up
Just what I was looking for. Thank you.
So glad to see you again!!
great video! useful and to the point. practical outside-the-box thinking. Gracias
Dude thank you been looking for exactly something like this for my rig aswell..you are the man
Just took a leap of faith and bought 2 of these at a good price on eBay try out. haven’t used them with my speakers. But I tried it with my tv, watching a movie(not on low power mode); it stayed on for 1hour 20min before it completely died. 1 bar started blinking at 1h00 of use.
Will be using to power mics at ceremonies. Thanks John!
I have used a version of this in my cars for years to jump start my car and others cars but I couldn't plug electrical items into it. I ordered a couple of them. I tested on one 15" speaker and it played for slightly over 6 hours. This should be in every DJ or Emcees tool kit.
Does your speaker amplifier make a noise when you use it with the power bank ?
I have a 15” speaker and have a pending outdoor gig for 5 hours. Were you able to play at a normal party sound level for the entire time?
This is very dope ! Thank you for this I do a lot of ceremonies on the beach ! Instead of bringing a battery bank
just ordered one right now!! Great Video thank you Woo Pig! Excited to use it this weekend for my first wedding since COVID.
How is been working so far? It's been a year
Good video John... looking forward to watching more of your stuff. Peace.
If this proves out over time and will hold up to heavy use..... it's a game changer (life saver?) for me! Thanks for the test!
That is fantastic! Its just what im looking for!
That is a great solution! Thank you for sharing 😀✊🏽
Yo. I appreciate the video bro. You just gave me the solution for our outdoor events we frequent during the summer. I'm usually bringing my generator which is a chore just to kick it in the park. 💯💯💯
Working out for you?? Im considering purchasing
I can't say because I never did buy it. Sorry bro.
Right on man thanks. I'm gonna grab two of them.
Finally got one of these for a wedding I have this coming Sunday and I tested it with a wireless mic system plugged in which is really all it's gonna be used for during the ceremony. But I went a step further and played some Boss nova at mid range on an EON 615 and I managed to to get 1:28:00 out of it. More than I'll need and very happy. Thanks for the suggestion on this bad boy I'll defiantly be getting a few more.
Yo! Glad to see another Arkansas DJ. Keep up the good work fam 💪
DJ Little Rock you’re gonna have to teach me how to juggle on them turntables!!
Awesome video! Great little setup
Just ordered one! Thanks Brotha !
Great video! I have been looking at Honda generators but I would definitely go with this.... I could buy a couple of these for a lot less and keep one as a backup. I am curious as to how many times you can cycle this unit before the battery is effected? Also what is the recharge time from complete empty to 4 bars?
WOW thanks a lot have been thinking about this problem and this would save a bundle
Thumbs up from your neighbor in Tennessee!
When considering letting it sit for half a day, heat and natural degradation as it ages as well as other unforeseen factors, I would definitely always pack a spare. This is just good "best practices" regardless.
Ps - You guys are welcome to annex Memphis. It would improve both our states.
Great video man, thanks
this thing is clutch picked it up and it works wonders!!! respect!!!!!
Thanks for the video! I saw that BSR video that you mentioned & it got me shopping around on amazon. The battery he mentioned looked like a decent power source for a small mixer and wireless mics reciever, but that's about it. I'm with you on not wanting to drop more $ on a battery powered speaker when I've already got sooo many in my garage.. Anyway, I shopped around and stumbled on the bolt as well. Had the highest mah rating I could find and a lot of reviews said they actually used it successfully to jump their car! It's been sitting in my saved for later items because I wasn't sure how effective it'd be for powering a speaker, but this video may have sold me on it. I don't know how often I'll use it, but it sounds like a great backup to have in a pinch. Whether it's at the gig or on the way to it!
I've just been renting when I need to since the rates are so cheap here.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge , god bless you. Regards from Panama in Central america
After trying 3-4 different speakers I use 2 Behringer AP40BT-Pro. Light weight sound great and can work for 3-4 hours on battery mode. also use a battery powered
Behringer Xenyx 1002B mixer.
We have been using the Halo for almost three years now. It has performed without any problems. We have even powered our photobooths with it at different remote locations. In fact, at our local expos, it costs about $100 just to have electricity. We have even used our halos to power our TVs on trusses.
Sean Prolago I got a question, I purchased a halo a couple of days after watching this video, and when plug in my Ev Zlx 12 I’m getting a humming sound from the power source if the speaker, is that safe?
Sean, what printer are you using for your photo booth and how many hours are you getting out of the halo? Thanks.
@@MrDjchu80 My QSC didn't work with the Bolt. Next, I tried the 8" Samson I normally use as a monitor, and like you, I'm getting a hum, but from the speaker itself. ?
Good vid. Could you link where you got that tray holder (where you put the halo bolt, ipad, and mic on) mounted on your speaker stand?
Thank you for the upload...will try this out...hopefully you're getting paid for sending these guys more business !
It would be nice to see a 2nd part trying with one regular sm58 connected to one chanel in the back of the speaker to get more juice out of that powerbank. Nice video man!!
Just circled back to this video after seeing it last year. Not sure why I didn't pull the trigger but it's a no brainer. Getting 4 of them. I'm gonna stress test the heck out of them in the first 2 weeks though.
Well done. Cool idea!
Thank you! Been looking for a cheap battery powered rig for ceremonies, but like you say, use what ya got.... gonna get one of these.... I got speakers! Thanks for the info. The only question I have is in wondering about charge cycles and battery life duration. But even at that price, if I get 50 ceremonies out of it, it more than pays for itself.
You've caught my interest John. I've seen a lot of battery 'generators'...a bit more costly, but I have a decent budget. How about an update. How has it bern now for the past year? Any trouble with equipment 'not liking' it??
Man that’s awesome! I’m sold!
Great video and pointer. You're better off buying 2 of these than a whole separate setup just for a ceremony.
After watching this video, I immediately purchased this fir my DJ rig...maximum respect for the great idea !
@Bradley James, how has it been? Have you been using it?
@@djdavidgonzalez I have used it 2 times for weddings for the ceremony. I decided to also buy a Bose S1 wireless speaker. This is what I use for ceremonies. Such an amazing speaker
I thought about buying the Bose S1, but I have been on the fence of either that or buying the Maui 5 go, even though it's more expensive there could be more uses for it, bit at the same time if the Bose S1 is strong enough I could just use another $500 to buy another microphone and spend the same amount as I would buying the Maui.
How did the Halo battery hold? And what speaker did you use? I've seen other people say they had a hum. I ordered it and should get it tomorrow.
@@djdavidgonzalez you can't go wrong with the S1 Pro. I have not heard of the Maui, I will check it out though. As far as the Halo, I ended up selling it and getting another that has alot more power which is the Charge Tech 54. No problems with this one. I used it to power a shure mic, laptop and QSC K10
@BradleyJames both Rick Web and DJ Barr have done a review about the Maui, and I've heard all but good things. I guess I'll see how the Halo goes, I get it tomorrow and I'm going to try it out on Saturday, if I don't like it, I'll go with the one you said. Thank you very much.
Thanks for this tip... I just received my battery and my stand charging it and hopefully I can test it out tonight
How is it working out for you DjSpinnz
Dennis Mitchell testing it out it’s cool the True test is going to come tomorrow at the rehearsal dinner....0
@@djspinnzrobertson8911 did it work out at event?
@@derrypetty1 it worked great I love it and I’m thinking about getting another one
Thanks for the review
This well helpful. Just subbed!
This baby ran my Mackie 12" BST for over 3 hours. Im going to add wireless mic system to it see how long it goes. love it thanks John!! BTW it wouldn't work on older amp't speakers like my FBT Max4a. I think it needs a class D amp or it won't turn on when plugged in.
Well we use for some extreme remote locations 24V heavy battery from truck and inverter, i know its almost triple the cost but it can last for longer than 10+ hours on full charge full volume (before distortion and clipping) using not one but two same speakers you have! ;)
10 + hours of use at high volume is not what I’m trying to achieve. I need it to last 1 hour. This solution does that plus some and fits in my backpack.
Yeah, cool product. But didn't work with my QSC k10, light on Halo turns red.
This can indeed Jumpstart a car. It was why I originally bought it and it works
Hey man I watch your videos and I must say you are very informative. Keep up the good work. I use ev's in my line up and I was thinking the same thing, why should you have to go buy new battery powered speakers for a wedding ceremony when I could just get a battery like the halo. You saved me cash and space man thanks a lot.
You could rent battery powered speakers when you need them. Where I live rental prices are super cheap. Like 10.00 per weekend for some.
Thanks for the vid! Can this handle a 10" or 12" powered subwoofer? If so how long can it last?
what brand is that tray that you're using on the speaker stand? I'm looking for something like this. i got a ceremony i'm doing soon that doesn't have a power source nearby. Thanks for sharing this video. I need this. subscribed to your channel. In a future video can you make a video how you went about making your website. thanks
So I bought one and tried using an Alto TS308 powered speaker (8 inch) As soon as I turned the speaker on the battery flashed red for a few seconds and turned off. I switched to a small powered PA mixer with speakers. It powered that, a mic and a Yamaha mixer for almost 2 hours. Debating on a return.
Good video.. what's the link to the stand or table attached to the speaker stand?
Great video! Can I ask, what is the watts input on the speaker you used? Thanks.
Woo pig this is what been looking for!
You think if you had 2 of them (1 to power your system, 1 to feed/recharge the primary unit) you'd get more time? Like can one unit charge another unit??
You could also build your own battery system. You can take an old flight case or rack and get a couple 12 volt car batteries, put them in parallel and get a 1000 watt or 2000 watt inverter, just make sure its a pure sin wave and not modified, because you could destroy your equipment with a modified sin wave inverter and you are pretty much set. If you want it to look really nice though I would suggest the rack method, because then you can make a custom front panel where you can have a few outlets you wire into the inverter and maybe some breakers and a charge port, and you can use a normal lead acid 12 volt battery charger.
Hi, I just watched you put the Halo battery . to the test. I am looking for a power station that will last at least 5-6 hours to run a sessions. Any recommendation? If so, which one do you recommend? Thank you
John, I landed on your channel for a DMX tutorial a few hours ago and I've been watching all your vids since. I totally love the way you communicate, and the way you treat your people. The paycheck segment for your young guy was great.
Question: For your extended off-shore power gigs, why not consider a deep cell battery? Or two? The Bolt is amazing, but its only 58 amps. One single deep cycle battery can provide 125 amps. My solar security lighting is 250 amps. And you can take a huge amount of power out without cooking it.
do you know how heave one of those batts are? And not much cheaper than the bolt
@@chrisperry3525 I do. Both of my 125 AH batteries died this year after a little over 5 years time. They are def boat anchors
@@seanwhite7532 I have 2 also in my van with a solar panel and 2 inverters. But I have to run a cord from the van. If this 3lb halo will work, it means less work!!
Very informative as always John.. In your description your equipment list you have GTD Audio mics that is no longer available.. What else for that price range can you recommend? Or is it available elsewhere?
A lot of guys are now using these for inexpensive mics www.amazon.com/Microphone-Phenyx-Pro-Interference-free-Operation/dp/B07JNDVS6H/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=phenyx+pro+mic&qid=1570382145&sr=8-2

I use the one listed here, but when you get to this page you can look up GTD audio for other systems.
Hey! Vicious Video! Anyone know the name of that 3-way adapter John is using?
I bought 2 of these Halos. Neither one was powerful to turn on my QSC K-10. The batt.packs were charged for 8hrs. But apparently their site says it’s not rated to power up devices more than 65watts or less. I don’t know anything about wattage/voltage. I need help!
Dude I love your accent! Makes me feel at home. I just bought a Halo Bolt for this exact usage and apparently amazon told google this info bc it recommended your video. What are your thoughts today? What are you using now 1.5 years later?
Still send out with my guys every weekend! We use shore power if available, but a Halo gets used every weekend.
thanks for the review. how's it holding up a year later?
Can I ask what is the draw from the speaker you are using? I connected an Alto Ts312 and the light turns red and won’t power the speaker. I’m just wondering if I’m doing something wrong
hey John you should show how how you setup your driverack with the ev ekxpowered speakers,is your driverack the dbx px
Do you thing that I can plug my 2 Pionner CDJ 700 and DJM 450 mixer? My idea is to buy 2 Halos 1 for the speaker and 1 for cdj’s and mixer. Thanks in advance! Max
can you use for a 1000w DJ speaker to play music during games?
What self and clamp did you use to connect to a speaker stand. I like that set up. I hate asking the venue for a cocktail table.
You should anyway bringing your own cocktail table. Since years ago, I don’t want to bother the venue or anybody to provide me with tables, cloths, etc. And It saves lot’s of time. This setup with the laptop shelf on the speaker stand is nice for cocktail but I would not use it for ceremony as most of thé time, you can’t stand next to the speaker. So I would always place myself, mics and mixer on the side to make sure that the photographer don’t catch me on his pics.
@@DidierWolfs that did not answer the question. I want to know the name of the shelf so I can buy it.
I'm watching but you have not said if there is a 110vac inverter included in this battery. When you were displaying it, I thought I saw a 110v outlet but not sure :) As I watch i see it now but what is the rated output wattage?
Thanks for this info, I was just surfin and found you so I decided to watch. I already have a battery powered pa system that I use for outdoor events and it gives me 6-9 hours of sound, the problem is it is made for speech. I had been looking for a bigger system with a 12" but now I can rethink that with the halo and use it for many purposes. Some of the trade show's I have done have wanted $500 for electricity over and above the booth fees. I am looking into a photo booth printer and I can see the Halo having multiple uses. What printer are you using for your photo booth?
How has the -GTD AUDIO WIRESS MICS worked out for you? I almost bought them because they have a 4 in 1 option but decided on a shure thing with the Shure BLX.
Can you do a test without the microphone hooked up to see how long it would last?
Great video man! Such a great solution, especially for your area! For those who have a battery powered speaker already, (like myself) but need to power up other equipment, (mixer and/or mic system, etc.) I highly recommend you check out the Lithium-Ion Power Supply over at Colorado Sound N' Light. This power supply has 3-12v Dc Power jacks, so it's perfect to power your mic system & Mixer. Only $99 before shipping! Works amazing!
DJ Gary, how many hours are you getting out of that Lithium Ion Power supply.
Dennis Mitchell I’m getting at least 2 hours out of it on a single charge, with only using my wireless microphone system with it. I’m not sure how long it lasts on a single charge, as I only use it for wedding ceremonies, and always charge it every week before the next event. Hope this helps!
@@Theferg535 in da virtual building. Got mine and it's charging now. I am in the process process of adding a plug to add two usb's for charging and a 12v plug for a wireless receiver for my battery powered pa. I always wanted a powerbank with ac plug that I can use at tradeshows. I am going to hook it up to my larger system and see how time I can get out of it. Thanks.
@@dennispeaks thanks for sharing that info, that sounds like a great idea!
Dj Gary, I actually emailed Jim over at Colorado Sound N Light and his email back when I said powering up speakers was The Halo Bolt. This gave me another idea. I planned to put a dual usb in the battery powered pa but decided on a car cig adapter to give me more flexibility so I did yesterday and now I have the option of usb for cell phones or dc/ac in Power Inverter Car Adapter DC 12V to AC 110V with 4.2A Dual Smart USB Ports.
Thank you!
Hello quick question do you think I could run two rokit RP10 off
PowerOak AC50S 500Wh/300W Solar Portable Power Station. Thanks
Hi I came across this video back in June of this year. I purchased the halo bolt 58830 for my small ceremony system. Used for 3 or 4 ceremony flawlessly and now all the sudden with a full charge it won't last more then 10 min and then flash red then shut down. Just wondering if you or anyone else has had this problem. Thank you
This is a game changer! I'm gonna try to use 1-3 of these for my band. Thank you so much for making this video!
Hey how did it work out with a band? We’re they powerful enough?
Ricky Montijo haven’t gotten a chance yet but soon I will now that we all got our shots!
@@deedeecobain did you find out if it worked?
I wonder if it would be feasible to use a UPS for battery powered rigs. It would be heavier but last a lot longer.
FYI.....Its also a wireless phone charger. It also can hold a full charge for 2 years of not being used.
what kind of monitor you power with halo? cuz i try my alto ts308 and just as plugged a red light come up . which mean too much w ,to handle .
Hey John. How do you like this now that you have had a chance to use it more?
Which model did you buy? I got one that won’t even power two booth monitors (krk rokits)
I’m way late on this product! But amazon has it for $100 right now. I already have a battery powered pa speaker for a ceremony. This would be perfect to just power up my mics!!!
Where did you get the shelf for the speaker pole? What is model and model number?
Hey John. It's been almost 2 years. Do you have an updated opinion on this pack? I might be making the jump soon. Thank you sir.
I bought one hoping for a solution for lakeside ceremonies with no power. this seemed perfect. I couldn't get mine to work. Speaker powers on for 1 sec then shuts down (red light blinking showing overload) didn't even get a chance to try audio. notice on the outlet it says 65w max how did you get yours to work? (running a QSC K8.2)
guess i should've read down a little deeper in the comments before purchasing. I see that it does not work with QSC speakers... bummer guess it can go under the car seat and use to jump off a car, as it was originally intended for :(
For those saying you cant run qsc... i ran a cp12 on one...probally not as demanding as k12.2 but it works
How much time did it last with the cp12 just curious wanted to get o e but my whole system is qsc
I have two sets of speakers, one low end and one high end. I got a Halo Bot and it would power the low end speaker but not the high end one. What a bummer, especially since the low end speaker doesn't sound very good. Looking for another battery powered option for ceremonies.
Nice, I actually used 2 ION Sports for a ceremony
