In this video I set up some gear you might be likely to use to street busk under your own power. I use a Jackery Explorer 1000 as an example power supply.
Honestly the BEST explaination of all of this. Absolutely fantastic. The simple fact that you mentioned the Killa Watt meter. Now I can actually buy that and plan for what I need to buy for portable power. Thanks again, great playing as well sir!
@@StudioonaStick That's awesome! I ended up going with the Ecoflow River 2 Pro with the 220 watt solar. It powers my full rig in my videos on here at full volume for about 6-8 hours. Which includes a QSC 10.2 as well as a full TD-17Kvx drum set.
I had bought a Jackery 1500 instead of the Bluetti AC200MAX. It works like a charm. Thanks for the demo on your equipments. I played music for 4hrs. and the battery had 71 % power available. Thank you.
I was planning to buy the Bluetti ACMax200, but instead bought the Jackery 1800 watts. Bluetti took too long to answer my email. I called several times and the message stated that the mail box is full. That was a turn off for me. It let me know that their technical support is horrible. The Jackery will be here on Friday.
Hello good day I dont use a g amp,once u have a mixer send ur guitar and bass and drummachine direct to the mixer,I does that for almost 40 yrs,and mics tomuch stuff if u got a batt pwr spk u good to go,I use a 300 watts inverter and it works for 8hours,which i play for 3 hrs at the beach side
Awesome video man! The most informative video I've found on this in my few hours of researching. Got a question that I hope doesn't sound silly I hired a singer to perform at a park but she didn't have a means to power her equipment so I was considering buying the Jackery 300 She's using a Prodeck 15inch 2,000 watt PA speaker system from Amazon and nothing else from my understanding. (No laptop, mixers, etc) Do you think the Jackery 300 will hold up for the 30-60 minutes I booked the performance for? Thank you in advance for your time!
There are lots of choices out there and these things are improving steadily. I think the Bluetti might charge a little faster if I recall. I went with the Jackery because they have a longstanding reputation, and it was on sale lol
You're welcome. I'm working on a larger home made supply. The best thing about this is that the output is pure sine wave, which a lot of small generators are not. So it's perfectly safe for all equipment. Plus, silent.
I was thinking about buying a Jackery 1500 or Bluetti and hookup my equipments i.e Mixer,MacBook Pro, Yamaha 1000 wats( rms) speaker and Microphone. I will play music for about 4-5 hrs. and see how did the battery perform. If the battery dies too quickly, I'll take it back. What do do think about that idea?
Will this work on a boss acoustic singer pro with a microphone plugged in and a guitar playing and singing at the same time? And if so, for how many hours would it last?
I finally received a reply from Bluetti after about 3 weeks. I had emailed them to inquire about the Bluetti A200p and AC200 max. This was Bluetti reply: "Sorry to tell you that our unit may not meet your requirements. Because when our unit loads the speaker, it may produce signal interference which will disturb the sounds. I'm surprised that their battery power station cannot run 2 speakers and a mixer. When you had hooked up your dj equipments for the test on the Jackery 1000, have you heard any feedback or noise through the speakers?
Yes, Professor Hobo at Hobotech channel appears to be a musician and almost always performs an interference test on inverters. Some pass and some fail. Good for them for outright letting you know.
@@StudioonaStick If I use one of my Yamaha 1000 watts speaker, microphone, laptop and mixer with a Jackery 1500. Will I be able to play music at medium volume for approximately 4-5 hrs? Thanks for replying.
I plugged everything into a single power strip and plugged the power strip into the Killowatt, then it into the wall. That way it read everything that was running. Thanks for watching!
I'm a beginner dj and need some advice on equipments for busking. I have a pair of Yamaha Dsr112 powered speakers, MacBook Pro laptop, Pioneer Ddj Sx2 mixer. I would like to get into busking in Santa Monica CA to play lots of oldies music i.e Stylistic, Intruders, Dell, Manhattan, Temptations etc. I'm confused on either buying a Jbl Eon Compact battery speaker or use one of my Yamaha with a Jackery 1500 power supply battery. I need some advice.
@@geraldmcclaren2026 The best thing about a dedicated power supply like a Jackery, Bluetti, or Ecoflow is that they will power everything. It just depends on what you already have gear wise. If you have say, a modest power amp and a 12" passive speaker, or powered speaker like yours, then a power supply makes good sense. You can run the mixer, laptop and PA off of it. If you use a battery powered speaker you still need power for other things.
Boss katana 47w, it would last for long time. Thanks for the explanation it’s all I needed
Awesome thats more than Enough power. 4 amp mixer keys Mikes ect it will sort it self out. Thank you for sharing 😂❤🎸.

Thanks, I have upgraded to a solar system that will power a 3 piece for about 3 hours. Pretty amazing.

Great vid with just the info I needed. Excellent demo at an easily understood level.
Absolutely. Out of the thousands of useless videos on YT about busking setups with battery power (and there's not many) This hit the spot 100%.
Pretty cool eh?
Thanks for watching!

Cool. Thanks for the video. 😊✅🆗🆒

I have a Jackery 240 which I use to power a small DC fridge in my car. If I ever upgrade I might get a Bluetti.

What's the longest time in hours have you busk using the Jackery 1000 with your setup?
Testing it for the video I ran it for 4 hours, I think it went down to 60%.

@@geraldmcclaren2026 It depends on how many watts the laptop draws, but almost certainly.
@@StudioonaStick A laptop use about 60watts.
How did you plugged everything into the Killa Watt to test the total wattage?
I plugged everything into a single power strip and plugged the power strip into the Killowatt, then it into the wall.
