You always have the most informative videos without being condescending. This clearly showed a solution to an issue that DJs face, and you showed what you were running through it, as well as how much time you had left given what you were running. Thanks for another great video. I really wish more people got to see your content, I’ve been in heaven with your Heavy Hits DJ pool suggestion, and you prepared me for the lack of being able to do full playlist downloads.
I appreciate all the kind words. Thanks for watching.
No way that lasted that long. I would have thought it would only do an hour max with all that. Thats insane!
Thanks for watching. The unit is pretty awesome. I use it a lot!
Thanks for showing what these Jackery power stations can do, especially in terms of DJing. Awesome video, keep those decks spinnin!
Buenísimo video muchas gracias saludos de Santa Ana CA
Gracias
Man what a great video, very informative and well put together. I liked how you would show the Jackery after every hour and how much juice it still had left to go. Peace DJ !
Thanks for watching
👍👍👍👍👍 thanks I’m getting one next week! Much appreciated!!
Just got one ..I love it
Thanks man good information!!!
Great content as always LEO! Thanks for always responding
Awesome, thanks.
Really wonderful explanation
Thanks for watching
More power to ya for putting all that equipment on sand! Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching.
Thanks mate. That was good information.
Thanks for watching
Very very interesting
Awesome information thank u
Thanks for Watching
In recap:
The Jackery 1500 can handle:
4x EKX-15
1x ZLX-12p
2x Crown Amps
2x CDJ-2000nxs2
1x DJM-900nxs2
1x Shure ULX receiver
For 4 hours
Yes, it had 20% left over at the end of the event.
Would you say you played at medium volume throughout the full event?
@@jdavis8460 I would say I was up and down. There were some parts, for example the first hour and a half where I was loud. Not red lining but the occasional yellow. Then there were parts where the guests were sitting and eating in front of me so the music was low enough to be heard but they could still speak. That was probably about 45 to 50 min. The rest I would say I was loud enough to be heard but not felt. Thanks for watching.
4 speakers were passive being powered by the amplifiers...powered speakers are much more efficient on their own than a passive setup.
Great video thanks
Thanks for watching
Great video. I found out about Jackery early 2022 and they’ve been my friend for my wedding ceremonies ever since. Coupled with my Sennheisers EW G4s or Xvive U3s to make my speakers wireless, I’m golden. 😊
Thanks for watching
I got to get one of those
Thx Leo !!
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for showing what the power station does. I wanted a generator but if a power station can pull it off, i'll definitely get a big one for the future.
Thanks for watching
AWESOME!...CAN YOU CHARGE WITH SOLAR PANEL WHILE PLAYING?
According to the Websites documentation, Yes, you can use the unit while you have the Solar Panels connected and charging the unit. Thanks for watching.
Thanks, mobile Dj hero
Thanks for watching
Glad, you are back. Are you djing any clubs in Ft lauderdale or Miami in August?
Every once in a while I will back up one of my friends who have regular spots in Ft. Laud or Miami. I myself do not have a regular club/lounge gig at this time. Thanks for watching.
The Jackery 1500 is VERY expensive. For a battery powered ceremony system there are many less expensive options. My battery power pack cost less than $200 and powers my ceremony system for many hours. In any event, I'm glad you found an option that works for you. That's all that matters. Congratulations!!!
Yes I agree there are many options. My thought process was not just for a Ceremony system. In one of the last video's I posted I did an event at a park where I needed to bring a Gas powered generator. In order to lift that generator in and out of my van I needed to ask for help. So I wanted something that could potentially replace that generator because there are times where there is no one around to help and I need to move fast. It is very cool that these types of devices exist and work for these types of applications. Thanks for watching.
@@Housemix10 Ohhhh okay gotcha! Yes that makes sense. I thought you were looking for a battery powered ceremony option only. My bad. Yes the Jackery is a great option to replace a gas generator.
@@DJ2Legit007 may I ask what battery you used? Thank you
HALO
We need to know the name of power bank please
You could have gotten away with 2 -12" and one amp.. Awesome video !
Thanks for watching.
Very nice video and info, thx. One thing though - I think it's a big mistake to bring that expensive Pioneer equipment to a beach event. The potential for damage is huge. I would only bring my backup controller for something like this, and probably not even my best speakers/amplifiers/etc but I guess that's more debatable. The sand and humidity will shorten your equipment's life and looks, but you probably know this already and have made your decision. Just really caught me off guard with that expensive pioneer gear on the beach as I would never do that. Thanks again :)
Thanks for the concern and thanks for watching. I was very careful with all my gear. This was not my "front line" stuff but as I said, I appreciate the concern.
For those of us who live at the beach, this is an everyday use for our gear! We are no always in an air conditionded ballroom. I'd rater be on the beach!
Today’s electronics make some pretty crazy stuff work for sure. I remember blowing 50 amp fuses with line array cabs and thinking what would be the next thing.
Nice, thanks for watching
I want to know how it did on a DANCING event. Pushed hard...How long does the Jackery last then!
Thanks for watching. I can tell you about two events I have done with it. The first was a Race at a large field. I used the same amount of speakers from this video, I used a XDJ RX2 instead of CDJ's. I would say the volume was much louder for a longer period of time that the 4 hours from this video and the Jackery lasted about 2.5 hours before it was needing to recharge. Another event, I rented it out to a friend who was DJ'ing on a float in a parade. 3 hr event, he used 2 QSC K12.2, controller and Laptop. No issues, the Jackery lasted the 3 HRs and still had about 20% left.
Hey man, I got an XDJ XZ and a JVC Large speaker that runs on Battery. If I connect my Speaker to my XDJ XZ, then my XDJ XZ to a generator, will the Generator need the wattage power to cover the Speaker? Even though the speaker runs on battery? Because its connected to my XDJ XZ? Or If I just get a smaller generator just for the XDJ XZ and use this method, will be okay? Help please someone. I want to film myself in the desert DJing.
Do you think a Jackery 880 can handle 2 QSC 12.2 speakers, 1 laptop, and a DDJ 1000 board? I believe the 880 is about half the size capacity of what you have but you have way more items attached to it.
Yes I think you should be good. The main issue you would need to watch is the draw you put on the unit by raising the volume. That is what will get you and kill the charge on the Jackery.
@@Housemix10 I was going to get the Jackery and was looking forward to their product but after doing some research I decided on the EcoFlow Delta 2. I learned that it has a 3 times longer battery life than the Jackery, has an app, and the battery engineering is more advanced.
I use the HALO but I never pushed it for more. than 2 hours and alot less equipment that is shown on video
Ok, thanks for watching
How do u think this would work with a turntable setup?
I would compare the draw of a turntable to the draw of a CDJ. I would imagine it would not be much more. So about the same.
D.J. la licuadora. De jugar en la zamba en carol city a ylu tuber. Bien.
Ha ha, me encontrastes!!
Why 4 speakers? You could have just done 2. Howie Darkstar on the DJNTV network has talked about battery packs. He has a lot of video on using them and is a big supporter of them.
First off, thanks for watching. Yes, I could done the event with 2 speakers and I could have used a smaller control deck. But the main goal that I was trying to accomplish here was a real world stress test of the Jackery unit. Plus I usually don't like to drive my speakers so I always prefer to bring out more than enough speakers and then just let them coast. Instead of using two speakers and driving them hard to cover the area. I am very picky about how everything sounds and regardless of the client / event I want things to sound the way I like. That is cool the there are others reviewing battery packs. You can count me in as another supporter of them over just using battery powered speakers.
I was thinking the same, it looks like overkill. But it is like a stress test so thanks for the video.
Umm will it drive simple DJ setup with 2 Subs
2x EV ELX200 12SP
2x EV ELX200 10p
Laptop, Controller and Wireless Mic
It should, but I don't think the battery will last very long because Subs do take a lot of voltage. Thanks for Watching.
How many peak watts of your speakers
For this event I used my EV EKX 15 Passive speakers. They are rated at 1600W (Peak). Thanks for watching.
Can the 500 handle the xdj rx3?
Thanks for watching. I have the 1500 and that can surely handle the XDJ RX3. If you want to get the 500 you would need to figure out how much of a power draw the RX3 uses and compare that to the output from the 500.
Where can I get it?
Thanks for watching. Check on line for a location close to you. I purchased mine from Amazon.
Should I be ok with 2 12” ev zlx tops and 1 ev ekx 18” sub using the 1000 watt Jackery ?
Thanks for watching. Subs really do draw a lot of wattage. It would really depend on how long you are planning to play and how loud you will be.
I try it for 2 ld maui 28 g3 147 minutes
It matters if you were pushing the speakers or just playing soft music.
I would still get powered speakers because you want to have back up sound once the Jackery dies and also you want to get 2 or more solar panels! This will help big time!
Ok, thanks for watching.
@@Housemix10 np
I’m with Leo. I’m loyal to QSC and didn’t want to reinvest into new battery powered speakers. I have a Jackery 850 to run the main mixer/mic/feedback suppressor system and 500s to independently run each speaker or speaker stack. Overkill, but I never have to be worried about the power supply when I need to push it hard at an event.
@@kentond1 if got power use it
Jackery explorer 1500 is way too expensive ..over$1500 I think I'll keep using my HALO or buy 3 more at 100 dollars each it's a better option for me
Ok.
For electric Generators I found out your pretty much going to pay $1 a watt without accessories
Thanks for watching. Good to know your calculation.
I’m confused. I’m not an electrician. Let’s say a jacket outputs 2000w. My speakers are 2000 watts each. 4 speakers. Wouldn’t I need 8000w to run just that?
I am not a Electrician either but I do know that the wattage that your amp pushes to the speakers is not the same as what it consumes from the power current. Basically Wattage = Amps X Volts. You can look at the power section of your amp to determine the Amperage that it consumes, power draw. Volts should be there also. That is why I like this unit so much. The display actually shows you the wattage being pulled by what is plugged in.
@@Housemix10 all I want to know is would a Jackery 3000 power my dj setup for 5 hours. 4 speakers 8000 watts total plus a laptop 2 wash lights and a pioneer controller.
@@djstevieo It is really not that simple. I have used the same exact equipment used in this video and played soft to moderately loud music and I was able to get 4 hours easily out of the Jackery. Another time I used the same equipment and played very loud music and I was only able to get 2 hours out of the Jackery. That is because the Amplifiers will draw more power as the music gets louder. Does this make sense to you?
Check the power consumption rating in your speaker info (sometimes have to go online to find it). For example I have DXR15 IIs and the actual power consumption Yamaha state is 130w and that will be at maximum
This a gig log or jackery commercial?
