I wonder running a qsc k.12 alone how long would it run
Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Kellen Lionel instablaster ;)
@Elliott Daxton I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Elliott Daxton It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
I definitely plan on picking one of these up. Great review and hopefully we’ll all be ready to go out as well as gig again.Stay safe brother.#Salute
Great review my brother!!:)
finally some one did it!! easy Sub!! Thanks!!
Great video! I was DJing a wedding yesterday where the power went out due to high winds taking out some power lines. Luckily I had a battery powered PA so I still had music. I have a similar setup, Evox J8 and I have a 55” TV. My audio setup is two Denon SC6000s and a Pioneer DJM-900 Nexus 2. I was thinking of getting something bigger, like a Jackery 1500 to run this setup. If you were able to get almost one hour out of that Yeti 400, would I be able to get about three hours from the Jackery 1500?? I don’t have a clue…
I've been wondering if there are any issues with grounding or if you use a grounding stake for your equipment with this for safety, long term durability of your equipment, and audio quality? Are there any issues?
Thanks for sharing. I have a Pioneer XDJ-XZ controller and planing to take that out in a park next summer. My JBL 310 speakers have bettery that last for 3-4 hours. Can you recomend a power station to run with my XDJ-XZ ? Planing to play from 3-6 hours. Thanks 🙏
I would have to buy so many to actually do a party in the middle of the desert 🏜 🤣🤷🏽♂️
Do you think 300 watts would be enough for a ceremony setup or go with 500 w? I’m looking at the jackery.
Good for ceremony
Hi, have you tried using the Yeti to power your all your Photobooth devices (Pinter, computer and lights ) ? If so, how long did it last till the power died?
Do you think the goal zero 3000x would run your sound system an entire 5 hour gig?
How do you know the power needed for speakers?
This is going to be a long comment with math so... Prepare yourselves. VITAL INFO however.
If you plug in DJ equipment that draws more than 70% of the rated wattage of these portable battery units it will trigger the boost mode and destroy your equipment over time. Every one of these videos should come with this warning.
== What is BOOST mode?
Some units can do essentially a boosting of wattage delivery by undervolting. You have to be extremely careful if your unit is capable of this. For instance a 600W rated battery * 70% = 420W. If you plug in equipment that uses more than 420W it will trigger boost, but raising the amps and lowering the voltage essentially tricking whatever is plugged into it to accept a lower voltage by shoving it down its throat. Thats fine if you are running a heater or like a sump pump in an emergency, but not for electronic devices that you care about.
== Wait, I have to do MATH?
Also, remember that at best these units are only 80% efficient at load and even less efficient under partial load. You want to calculate this in order to get the best value for your money. For instance if your computer and equipment draws 300 watts say with some lights or speakers or whatnot... 80% / 300W = 360W, but don't forget about boost mode... so really 70% / 300W = 420W. So in order to not pull boost you'll need a 420W rated system? But wait... what about efficiency? a 420W system can only provide 328W of power. which means if you have equipment that requires 300W the math is 300/328 which equals 91%. Ouch! If at any time or possibly even at 91% you will trigger boost mode and be undervolting your equipment. So what now? well..
== Here's the tldr -ish:
if you consistently pull 300W you should get a 600W rated system for the closest efficiency. 600W * 80% = 480W.
300W/480W = 62% This should be your target when looking to buy one of these portable units to run DJ equipment off of.
== Personal commentary
I'm still waiting for these to be able to either run in series to provide longer runtime or to run in parallel to provide higher wattage. Granted at that point I'm probably just wiring up my own with the appropriate number of cells. If you know how to do this you can basically build these for around 20% of what they cost retail and you get the bonus of full customization to your needs (kind of ports, replaceable battery cells, etc)
== Product recommendations (EDITED) please read all
×× The EF Ecoflow RIVER units no longer recommended. Boost mode is not able to be managed effectively.
×× Ryobi AC converter packs no longer recommended. Although fairly reliable and oddly stable they require many swaps as they do not provide power for a long amount of time.
×× Kill-o-watt monitor (some quality concerns under full load, housing not rated for high power draw, will melt) - enables you to see what your equipment draws from the wall or can be used as a live monitoring system during equipment battery powered use.
++ Current (ha get it?) Recommendation: APC Gamer UPS 1500VA / 900W with Lan Party PC carry handle.
No boost mode, excellent power conditioning. Cool lighting? Has two USB ports.
Hope this helps.
Would a power conditioner help against boost mode?
Do you think the Goal Zero 3000x would run his rig for an entire 5 hour gig?
@@bfields112 Maybe. It depends on the type of overcurrent boost the battery utilizes. This is not an ideal solution however as you will wear the conditioner out fairly quickly. Again these portable battery units are designed for camping gear, cell phone charging, etc... Not high end audio video equipment. A better solution would be to utilize a UPS. Granted it is not as portable, takes longer to charge, and usually does not have DC ports (sometimes USB) and you need to look for one that can be alarmed silenced, but that would be my suggestion. If you attach a PC Lan party carry handle to it you can easily transport them without too much trouble, but they are heavy. Biggest plus besides very clean power is that they are a fraction of the cost. For $250 you can easily pull 600W or more. There is no downside to full load draw either as they do not boost and can be somewhat managed via software.
@@paulparrinello2526 I believe that is a 2000W unit (more with boost, but that's not why we are here) I don't know the wattage draw of his exact setup, but if the laptop has a battery and the controller runs off of USB bus power then the major draw would be the speakers so it might be possible. That unit however should NOT be used for this scenario as it does not provide clean power. That is a fantastic unit for other things as it would be capable of running large appliances in the event of an emergency. It is not designed for nor should it be used for high end audio and video equipment. Also it is quite expensive, but the features are pretty stellar for emergency use like multiple simultaneous recharging of the unit with up to 800W accepted solar charging.
Again your best bet would be a UPS unit. For $250 you can run a club mixer and two media players for approximately around 80 minutes or more with outstanding conditioning and no boost threat.
@@kaislate goal zero told me it would run my sound system and I can use it for tail gate parties, etc. plus it’s a 3000X which is 3000 watts of clear power. That’s why it is $3400.00. I’m going to put it to the test and see what happens.
can you use a shop vav with it
Where did you get the small monitor to show you what’s on the TV in the front, and what output did you use? Genius.
just added it to the booth parts list. Check out the comment I just pinned.
I have one of these in my Amazon shopping cart and was waiting for our gigs to start, then we got locked down. Glad to see you trying one of these out. Somebody else tried the 1000, but it was overkill. Can you run a test with your ceremony system, just to see how long it lasts? Inquiring minds want to know. Like you said, it's cheaper than buying a battery powered speaker and you can use it on multiple devices.
Yea I can do that. I would imagine it’s going to be several hours considering it ran all of this stuff for nearly 1hr.
@@DJLoStax Thanks. I assume that's what most of us will use it for. One speaker, 1 or 2 mics, a small mixer and laptop. Entertain your neighbors.
Very nice. Where did you get that little monitor that shows what’s on the TV?
amzn.to/3CCU9HC
So that little thing runs everything?
Google saying you need ove r2000w
Just chain a harbor freight 35 MA battery into the red and black connectors on the side. That gives you another 35 ma of time. And the batteries are only $70 the wire and connection maybe another $20-$30 bucks way way cheaper then upgrading to a bigger unit. And you can chain in as many batteries as you want. They just can’t go over that 35 ma hour 12 volt. Heck you could build a 2000 ma hour set up for pretty cheap. Way less the 1800-$2000 if you buy a bigger set
Amazing if I get hired for a 53 minute gig.
How was the sound....??? Another dJ suggested the halo Bolt for cerimonie... even did a Time lapse Video... i bought the thing.... as soon as I plug the speaker start to buzz and didn’t get me anywhere
I tried the halo bolt. Same thing. Buzz to the speaker when it was powered off. Decided not to use it. Didn’t even power the speaker on just in case. Bought a Maui 5 Go.
This just means that the power supply in your speaker system does not have the extra filtering needed to remove the electrical noise from the battery pack and passes it to it's amplification circuits. imagine electricity kind of like sound waves. electricity from the wall has a different wave length than electricity from the battery pack. Ever plugged in a gig and the outlet gives you some hum in your speakers? this is the cause. the fix for this is either an anti hum plug like the ebtech hum X or using a power conditioner. Some speakers have it built in. for example my Mackie srm 450's hum like a bitch but my RCF's are quiet as can be..
An hour is still impressive! Could be a last ditch emergency option while things get sorted out! Do you know how long it lasts running your ceremony system?
So my ceremony system is a battery powered eon one pro. But i would imagine this would run 1 of my j8’s for a few hours easy.
DJ LoStax Also a nice emergency backup option! Thanks for the reply man! Also the video booth is awesome! 👍👍👍
Question: Can you run your system through this while it's plugged into an outlet and use it like a power conditioner/battery backup in case your venue loses power?
Some are able to do this in a variety of ways. Some are not able to do this at all. The questions to ask are does it do simultaneous DC and AC output DURING charging and if it is straight passthrough or priority based. Now on to tech stuff:
If it is priority based what is the curve on the passthrough (when does it use battery vs wall AC). Generally the lower end ones will implement a "priority based" system, but without any "smarts" so no curve. This is not neccesarily bad, but will put undue wear on the battery over time and decrease its lifespan. In lower end products such as this there is little wear levelling capabilities nor are there overhead implemented in the form of additional cells to maintain even capacity over its lifespan. This is something to note, but again isn't necessarily bad, just good to understand what you buying. Also, these are signifcantly less expensive now compared to when this video was released. You can get them for 50% of the cost of what they were even just 2 years ago. Also, most of these brands will have $50 or $100 off offers if you simply email them, be nice, and ask.
Looking for the proper rechargeable outdoor generator to power up:
Denon Prime 4
2 KRK monitors Rokit 5
2 EV 12s
1 EV Powered Subwoofer 15sp
Any help much appreciated.
Thank you.
Any generator rated to about 2,000 watts will be plenty. I recommend Honda generators for best performance, pure sine wave.
if im running just a qsc speaker monitor
how long would it last?
I’d say a few hours at least
@@DJLoStax do you think the goal zero 3000x would run your rig for an entire 5 hour gig without any issues?
I have a soundboks and now I only want to power my dj decks. How long would that give me do you think?
Obviously each situation is different but if it’s just a controller I bet it would power it for a few hours easily.
You can always chain link them for more power
This test was moot. That Yeti 400 does not have enough wattage to last a real gig. We are gigging/mobile djs who need something that lasts at LEAST 4 hours. More along the lines of 1800-2400 watts of power such as the 2400 watt Bluetti that I own. Will it handle all those amps? Yes but as you can see not for long. That White Claw probably lasted longer. So suggesting this Yeti for a gigging/mobile dj....no. But still, good video DJ.
I use this for ceremony. And cocktail type scenarios. This was a stress test video to see what the unit could do. More of a limit test. Would it save you in the case of a power outage? Yes it would keep the parry going for at least another hour.
Can you give me the equipments that were used with the Bluetti 2400. Thinking about getting one instead of the Jackery 1500. Thanks.
Not accurate, the laptop is powering the controller, I'd like to see this run 2CDJ's and a DJM
Wrong! The controller has its own power supply.. this is a 1000SRT not a bus powered controller. 😉
