Need a speaker that can handle any venue, large or small? This is it! Specially engineered to produce equally vibrant, clear sound anywhere in the listening field—whether right in front or at the back of the room—this speaker lives up to the hype. It boasts an internal subwoofer, limiter settings for vocals or extra bass, and three inputs that can be mixed simultaneously. And it’s made of ABS material, which is not only super durable, but it also maintains the best sound integrity.

Yamaha has really impressed with the DXR series. This speaker is compact, but still packs a powerful punch, and delivers pure, even sound without sacrificing high or low frequencies. It’s smaller than other high-end speakers, but it sounds just as amazing! It even has DSP technology built in for great sound processing. We love the simple setup, portability, great sound, and exceptional power of these speakers.

We are seriously loving the QSC K series. These speakers are unmatched in their even sound dispersion and versatility. With a 12-inch built-in woofer, the QSC K12 speaker can reach lower frequencies than any other speaker in its class, without distorting or losing any of the crystal-clear tones we’ve come to expect from K series powered speakers. We like big bass and we cannot lie!

Okay, listen up party people. This speaker is seriously cool. Bose built a flexible array into this portable speaker cabinet that lets you customize the direction of the sound into four different patterns. So, whatever kind of audience you’re playing to, you can make sure the sound goes exactly where you want it to go. Add in Bose’s incredible clarity and natural sound, and this speaker is more than worth saving up for.

The DBR series speakers specialize in keeping sounds crisp, controlled, and even. No distortion or fuzziness here! And these speakers can be used as a main speaker or easily converted to use as a floor monitor. For small-to-medium sized venues, you can’t go wrong with the Yamaha DBR series. You’ll be shocked at how much power and sound quality you can get out of this little baby.

What we love about the Electro-Voice ZLX12P: the fabulous price and the distinct clarity. Have you ever been to a show and thought, “Well, that was nice but I had no idea what they were saying?” Here is the solution! This speaker is PERFECT for clean, crisp vocals. So start your warmups because it’s time for open mic night.

You shouldn’t be able to get such powerful, clear sounds from a speaker without having to pay through the nose for it, but Mackie has managed to deliver just that. The THUMP15 specializes in providing—you guessed it—heart-pumping, eyeball-squeezing, liver-bursting bass, housed in a compact and light cabinet. Okay, let’s forget that description and just go with, “You’re gonna like it.” Trust us!

There’s a lot to love about these powerful, versatile speakers. They offer great sound, clear highs, deep bass, and easy setup. They also come in a pair, and with a wireless remote control, stands, and a microphone, you’ve got all you need for karaoke night! And what’s more, these puppies are Bluetooth enabled. So stop tripping over cords and stressing about connections. Embrace the future.

Here’s another Bluetooth speaker that we can’t stop raving about. This little speaker is a “good things come in small packages” kind of guy. Incredibly portable and light, the Pyle Bluetooth Loudspeaker releases a surprisingly loud and clear sound. This speaker is excellent for smaller venues, where it can really shine with its professional sound and quality.

JBL has designed this speaker completely from scratch to get the most professional sound possible from a portable PA speaker. This isn’t just another mass-produced machine. It’s been developed and honed for audiophiles to enjoy a truly immersive listening experience. We also love that it’s been specifically designed to be extra portable, and that it’s Bluetooth enabled.
