I have the Soundlink Mini. I love it as my bedroom speaker but the audio is too colored and bass heavy for my tastes for audio production.
Saw a busker yesterday with a guitar, an iPad mini, and mic all going through a Roland Mobile Cube. Sounded good enough. Put a dollar in his hat.
I've tried running my iPad as a preamp into a power amp and guitar cab. I didn't find the result that inspiring. It's usable for sure, but it sounded flat or two-dimensional compared to a "real" amp. That's not to say different software or some tweaking couldn't lead to something nice. And really you probably don't want a guitar cab which is going to color the tone. I'd either get something like the iLoud or maybe a small keyboard amp.
I can not say enough good things about the ILoud. It does what it was designed to do better than any other system I have heard so far. Fits in my hand comfortably along with an iPad Air and sounds exactly as it should. No muddied frequencies which is what you want for your music production and it excels as a guitar amp beyond the imagination. Just plug it to the iPad and plug your guitar right into the speaker and bam ,you now have the best sounding portable amp/ monitors you could imagine in such a tight package. incredible battery life, and recharges fast! Or plug it in if you want more than eight or ten hours of use at once. After looking around at the various speakers suggested here I just can not find a better set up for production needs.
those ik cats are making a stereo pair of monitors that they showed at namm. im waiting for those...
i like my Roland KC110

can Plug 3Stereo + 1mono IN
use it often as my sound knowing monitor, and as a submixer: it has a Stereo OUT for the PA, great....
i allways ask why in Hell all the other little mobile amps dont have a Stereo Out.
100% of these little AMPs have Headphone outs which disables the Internal Speaker, good for practicing @Home, but disqualifies these amps to be a very usefull monitor, even the StreetCubes (the new Big EX have line out, but sounds terrible for Acoustic or FullRange Stereo)
a little switch for this "feature" on&off would be a great cheap update for all these little bluster boxes...
Behringer Eurolive B205D - small, lightweight, punchy & loud enough for a small gig.
Behringer has been producing some nice speakers indeed. Although not anywhere near as small , I have a set of their 15 inch nEO's that if I turn up to more than like two and a half will shake my walls. 1200 watt amps in those little pups really sound awesome.
yep,i know that for mixing purpose there is no doubt that the iLoud should be the prefered choice.But since i'm covered well with real monitors and good headphones i'm mainly looking for something that just makes"fun".Since i'm doing electronic (dance)music i want the lowest possible bass i could get out of something that is not bigger than the iLoud.
More than I wanted to spend but exactly what I've been seeking for living room family 'music' (joyful racket) time. Cheers.
i bought this one now (http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00NBXJ9NW/lautspr-21) and i'm very happy with it.I compared it in the store with a lot of other BT speakers,even more expensive ones like the soundlink mini and for me it's by far the best in this pricerange.I like it more than the soundlink as well (that one has some upper bass/lower mid accentuation that i just don't like).Treble could be a little more but other than that they sound quite balanced and i can even see myself doing premixes with it.The middle area often tend to sound like a (muddy) trashcan on small speakers but here it really sounds quite warm and never exhausting.Recommended!
I have to recommend the Line 6 L2t. I've had mine about three years and have kept in the softshell case designed for it(the bag has wheels so quite portable). It's not too big, fits nicely in the car, but is a loud 800watts. It also has two little kickstand legs that fold out so you can set it up like a monitor. Sounds great with guitars with amp simulator and phenomenal with keyboards. I play in a band where I'm mostly playing keys(through my iPad with an audio hub) and I play guitar through a Line 6 Pod. The L2t has two channels so I play both instruments through the same speaker. It also doubles as my PA for acoustic gigs where I need an acoustic guitar and mic. Has acoustic resonance modeling built in if you want to use it, reverb, a nice eq section and feedback suppression.
Thank you @mptrin - I like the look of that L2t ! A little taller than the Yamaha DBR/X10 speaker but I have a Line6 Pod HD500 which would suit the L2t very well. Not keen on funding more Line6 stuff as they tend to force your hand with accessories & deliberately limit some functionality (eg MIDI on the HD500) but in this case, the unit is fairly useful standalone.
I got this one:
Devine Blist 12D enceinte active 12'' + USB + Bluetooth
http://www.bax-shop.fr/devine-blist-12d-enceinte-active-12-usb-bluetooth.html
Cost 139€
5 year warranty, Bluetooth and sounds good not a table size though ...they ship in Europe free.
Has anyone tried any of these things with a bass guitar? I'm looking for something that I could use for teaching and carry easily in my gig bag. Doesn't have to be very loud but it has to have some proper bass. I got myself a sound link mini clone made by anker which sounds pretty good. The problem is there is too much of a lag even using the aux cable so it's unusable for real time playing. Is that the case with the soundlink mini as well? And how's the iLoud with a bass guitar? It sounded so thin on a youtube comparison to the soundlink mini.
So I went to Media Markt and tried various speakers with some good old Steely Dan tunes and also playing some bass sounds from sampletank. I tried Bose SL mini and SL III as well as various others and finally ended up buying a JBL Xtreme. It had the best overall sound and the most bass without sounding muffled. I also bought the charge 2+ because I thought I might get away with just that. When I plugged in the bass at home and compared the 2 I found the Xtreme is the only choice. The biggest problem with the charge 2+ is that there's very noticeable lag and of course the bass is nowhere near the power of the Xtreme. So I'll return the charge later. They didn't have an iloud there but according to several reviews and comparisons iLoud is lacking bass and distorting at higher volumes. Both iLoud and Xtreme are 40 Watts, by the way. So I can definitely recommend the Xtreme for bass players that want something pretty portable and loud enough for practice or teaching, maybe also busking.
^^This thing is really impressive! I'm really pleased with the Xtreme! It's unbelievable how loud it is without distorting and still small enough to put it in my gig bag. It also has 2 USB sockets for charging phones and tablets. 1A per port or 2A on 1 port. Very nice!
iLoud doesn't lack bass, it just doesn't falsely hype bass like other speakers that are marketed to non-musicians tend to do as a "feature". iLoud has accurate bass and gets very loud without distorting. Too bad the big box retailers stick with the name and the hyped bass, or people would be able to hear the difference more easily.
So would you recommend it for bass players?
Here's a comparison that also includes iLoud and beats pill XL among others:
Just interested, is the one of the newer Bluetooth ones? I've had a wired minirig for a couple of years and love the crap out of it. Use it for everything. Making music, listening in the bath, on holiday at the pool...I've never had any buzz or any problems. And it sounds great. It does depend a lot on placement to get the best sound though, and of course mono. I tend to mix with headphones once I finish a track.
Would buy another in a heartbeat, but concerned if the quality has dipped.....
For bass I was thinking your choice was perhaps a good one but definitely not for six string or keys. The iLoud excels at natural sound reproduction better than anything I could find thus far. Oh and. It really can crank without distorting. It really is an amazing little box.
By 6 string you mean guitar or 6 string bass? And how low does the iLoud go? It says 70Hz on the specs for the Xtreme, which on paper doesn't look like very deep but in fact it's plenty, especially since the bass doesn't get less with higher levels. There's definitely an emphasis on bass here, so it's not flat but for a bass player that's a good thing. And you can always eq if necessary.
Correct I meant regular electric not bass.
Well, I just tried my Fender Jaguar with it through BIAS FX and with a little tweaking it sounds pretty good to me. A direct comparison to the iLoud would be interesting. But I doubt it would be better. And I got this for €199 vs. €259 for iLoud. It also sounds good with the Bass VI and my 6 string bass with low B. Of course you can't compare it with a good dedicated bass amp but for a portable speaker I think it's as good as it gets.
Cool I got my iLoud for even less than the extreme then . Only 200 U.S. Dollars! I am sure it will be more than adequate for your bass playing just not good for production is the point we are making. Glad you like it.
I think IKM drastically raised their prices for most of their hardware products recently. At least here in Europe, that is. And iLoud is listed at €304,99 on their website now
JBL also list the Xtreme at €299 on their website, though and I payed 100€ less at Media Markt. I wonder if maybe they got the price wrong there.
Yes I got a sweet deal on it for sure. Manufacture price and street price are always different remember.
@munibeast, the Extreme will handle an electric bass for busking?
Yes, I haven't tried that yet but I'm pretty sure it would work very well. You do need an interface and iOS device as well, obviously, since it's only meant as a speaker.
