SOUNDBOKS – battery speakers between party box and mobile PA

SOUNDBOKS is a Danish audio brand focused on particularly powerful mobile speakers. Unlike many compact Bluetooth speakers, these systems are designed for considerably higher sound levels and larger sound reinforcement tasks. At the same time, operation remains focused on mobility: insert the battery, connect a music source and use the speaker without a permanently installed PA. This makes the models interesting for outdoor parties, mobile DJs, events, rehearsal rooms and musicians looking for an uncomplicated battery-powered PA with Bluetooth and additional audio connections.

SOUNDBOKS 4 with up to 126 dB

The SOUNDBOKS 4 uses two 10-inch woofers and a 1-inch compression driver and, according to the manufacturer, reaches a maximum sound pressure level of 126 dB. This makes it much more strongly geared towards high volumes and larger applications than a typical portable consumer speaker. The enclosure is designed for mobile use and features handles as well as a speaker stand mount. For even sound coverage, however, room, placement, distance and required level should still be considered when deciding how much area a single speaker can reasonably cover.

The Battery – replaceable power for mobile use

A central element of the SOUNDBOKS concept is the replaceable The Battery. For the SOUNDBOKS 4, the manufacturer specifies up to 40 hours of runtime at medium volume and around six hours at maximum level with the standard sound profile. Because the battery can be exchanged, an additional charged battery can be kept ready for long events. This is particularly practical when a mobile speaker needs to operate for extended periods without a direct mains connection.

Pro Panel for microphones, instruments and DJ equipment

The SOUNDBOKS 4 goes beyond Bluetooth streaming when it comes to wired connections. The Pro Panel provides two balanced combo inputs for XLR and 6.3 mm jack as well as a 3.5 mm stereo input and output. This allows microphones, instruments, DJ mixers and other line sources to be connected directly. For small live or DJ setups, this can simplify the system. For more complex sound reinforcement tasks involving several microphones, extensive tone shaping or monitor mixes, however, a separate mixer remains the more flexible solution.

SKAA TeamUP for multiple SOUNDBOKS speakers

SKAA TeamUP can wirelessly connect up to five compatible SOUNDBOKS speakers. A single speaker can therefore be expanded into a larger system when required. The SOUNDBOKS app also provides functions such as Sound Profiles, Custom EQ and stereo assignment. With the SOUNDBOKS 4, settings for the Pro Panel inputs can also be adjusted. This gives the platform more configuration options than straightforward Bluetooth playback from a smartphone.

SOUNDBOKS Go for more compact mobile setups

For applications where transport size and weight are more important, the SOUNDBOKS Go offers the concept in a more compact format. It also supports Bluetooth and SKAA TeamUP and can therefore be combined with compatible SOUNDBOKS systems. The Go is particularly suitable when easier transport is more important than the maximum output and connection options of the SOUNDBOKS 4.

Which SOUNDBOKS suits your application?

The key factors are required sound level, transport needs and connectivity. The SOUNDBOKS 4 is a suitable choice when high volume, a replaceable battery and direct connections for a microphone, instrument or mixer are required. For more compact applications, the SOUNDBOKS Go may be more appropriate. Anyone who already owns several compatible speakers or plans to expand later should also consider the possibilities of SKAA TeamUP.
