This is a PA-style speaker - great if you're needing speakers for a small or medium size event (weddings etc.), if you're busking, having a small/mediumsized party or just need portable audio where you go. To be clear, the distinction is that this is more for things like live performances or live events where you need to project out to a wider area, as opposed to things like Sonos One or Bose Revolve which are more for personal listening.

Not all time low - it has once gone down to $762 back in Feb according to Camel, but generally never goes below $900+.

• All-in-one wireless PA system
• Lightweight design at 6.53kg
• Integrated 3-channel mixer
• Intuitive OLED displays
• Rechargeable battery provides up to 11 hours of playtime
• 4 positioning options
• Auto EQ
• Control with the Bose Music app
• Optional wireless mic/line and instrument accessories sold separately
• Bluetooth music streaming

I've used similar for doing music at weddings, or for a larger (or outdoor) crowd, as filler speakers or in a different room, in conjunction with meatier / heavier main speakers - the great thing is being able to place these wherever I want - it has a battery and has an (optional) wireless XLR you can buy, so effectively cordless wedges to place as you please. And you can daisy chain - output to one wedge, use the wireless to go to another wedge, repeat.

  Are these good for bar mitzvahs?

    I'm sure these would work pretty good for the Torah reading and speech. I'd advise against breaking glass against it though.

      Fair enough, but I was asking more for the bar mitzvah party/reception.

        Oh a serious question then … apologies! The following is personal opinion only.

        If your reception is indoors with < 100 people, a single speaker could do the job. However I like having stereo separation so I always use two. For me - I sit my speakers high on a stand (way above head height) - the reach is much better because people are just bodies of water and absorb sound well.

        If you're outdoors, then it'll cover a smaller audience (say half of that) because there is nothing for sound to reflect off.

        Now this was specifically talking about a more sedate reception. If I were to go party-mode, I'd want more volume, and I would pair this with a subwoofer.

        Hope that helps some…

        I've only used them for live gigs as a singer and musician. I have used 4 at a time and found them to work really well. 3 as FOH and one as a monitor. I wouldn't want to put a whole band through this system, but 2 guitars and 2 singers works amazing. Playing recorded music like MP3 files etc goes real well. I have never seen the need for a sub, but I'm 45 so don't do the whole doof doof.

  Wonder if these are the same ones Amazon had for sale many times for about $499-550 earlier in the year?

    I'm not sure which you're referring to, but I have personally seen a few places sell off the old model (without the + at the end) around that price range.

    No, those are the older non-plus model.

  I understand you can get the XLR wireless receivers for these but how exactly are you transmitting to them for use as a wireless wedge in the example you have given? Cheers

    Your sound desk's aux output goes to a wireless transmitter (1/4" version is on sale). The speaker has a built-in receiver to receive the signal.

    It has a male XLR line out. So plug in the wireless transmitter to this output and the wireless receiver into the input of the 2nd speaker.

      Thanks, makes sense. I am still waiting for a manufacturer to come out with a real wireless stereo linked system. These and also the JBL's and Behringers only allow stereo linking via a bluetooth source. How hard is it to have inbuilt master slave linking that transmits all input sources to the second speaker? Rather not have to buy a $200 transmitter that only has 4 hours battery life. Oh well.

        How hard to have a master/slave setup? Not hard. Like eug said above, you'd have all inputs going into a mixer, and then run anything wireless to a speaker/wedge. You don't have to use the Bose one, which is built more for a performance session (people don't usually perform for a few hours straight), you can use anything else like a wireless bluetooth transmitter from mixer, straight to the speaker which is capable of connecting to a bluetooth source.

        You only mentioned one speaker at the end - if you are really doing a master-to-many-slave (e.g. bunch of wedges), that's a different story - you can go bluetooth multipoint for something that like if you like - or a transmitter like this Avantree one for example will allow you connect many slaves to one master (the mixer in the example above).

          @gitl: Im thinking quick stereo setup with a couple of mics. I would not be using bluetooth for wedges or any performance invloving real time performers because of latency. Take the Bose system for example; 2 wireless mics paired to one of the speakers for control etc and then simply wirelessly pair to the second speaker without having to buy extra equipment. I know they can simply be linked with a single XLR but this defeats the wireless and battery operation. You will find on a lot of these speaker systems the marketing is missleading. They will often list the wireless linking feature but it is not what it seems, only allowing the speakers to be paired to one device splitting a stereo bluetooth stream.
