Portable Sound System

I’ve been working on assembling an increasingly complete portable sound system in my spare time, so as to be able to run sound for groups/events that don’t have their own sound system, or to supplement the existing system.

  • History of this system.
  • Criteria for gear choices.

This system has gone through a few iterations as I’ve been learning about various equipment, doing larger events, and discovering what does and doesn’t meet my criteria. Click on the links for reviews or more information on individual items.
