Ignite Pro 12" Pro Series Speaker DJ / PA System Rechargeable Battery / Bluetooth Connectivity 1500W Peak Power

This is a great value. It is not a perfect speaker. I am a longtime DJ with extensive experience with mobile PA speakers. After reading the reviews I lowered my expectations for this speaker to be one good enough for a family gathering, but maybe not one of a paid gig. I treat it with care, not even using the rollers on it to reduce risk of vibrations breaking something.I used it for an outdoor family party in a large open park and never had the volume above 2/10. Sound is adequate for this purpose. I could hear distortion though and had to tweak input levels and the EQ to get decent. For this purpose it worked great. I'd only bring this to a paid gig if it were used as a last resort backup in case of catastrophe with better speakers. This is not a main speaker for a gig. Plus you can't daisy chain it anyways, so it would limit its commercial application severely that way. I might see it useful for a ceremony where you needed a small setup for quick nuptials.As far as features, it tries WAY too hard to do way too much. The FM station is pretty unusable. I could only get the scanner on one station which had too much static to use. There were no instructions on how to even use it, which is not intuitive. The microphones did not work right away. I had to replace the 9V batteries to get them to work. They don't feel greatly durable, but I did not expect anything of them for the price paid. I also had a $10 wired speaker that I brought just in case, which sounds great! There was a talkover cutout which I just turned off (preference), but it could be useful for many. The echo sounded good. Protip: this makes a great karaoke box. Just couple it with an ipad and search up your favorite song on youtube with "karaoke" or "lyrics" following it, and you have a mobile karaoke machine!The battery was disconnected, which I expected from the reviews. It should be stated that speaker would have to be unscrewed in 4 spots to reveal the battery. Also having leads on the outside of the speaker to hookup an external battery is nice. This would allow a higher capacity battery to last the whole day without unhooking. That being said, it worked well and was really nice to have access to the internal battery to change out if needed. Replacement batteries are standard and fairly readily available at hardware stores and as cheap as $17 on Amazon. It lasted the full 4 hours I needed it for with still 25% left. I had an extra battery just in case which I did not need. The ability to carry a couple cheap batteries and know you can have a whole day of loudspeaker use outside is amazing.All I really needed is a good line in or bluetooth hookup. I have no complaints here. I was just hoping there was no issue with bluetooth, as I didn't need the cheap mics, radio, or wheels. Bluetooth worked very well! This makes it a great value.Wheels are good to have, but given I am skeptical of the build quality don't rough this speaker up like one of my old school Peavy's back in the day. Since it is light, carrying it either from the side or top handle is really easy.In summary, I needed it to sound decent enough to amplify music with no one questioning any distorted or muffled sound. It did so, with ample room to get MUCH louder. I also needed bluetooth to work flawlessly, as you don't ever want cutouts or static ever. It did that well too.So the fact that the FM tuner was useless, the mics were cheap, the battery came disconnected, and the wheels probably should not be used if you want it to last for years, did not matter much to me. I realize to expect all of that to work well for $109 would probably not be possible. They really should just try not to do so much and make build quality top notch, instead of the features that don't work well. Nonetheless, it is a good buy if you just need a good loudspeaker to hookup a line or via bluetooth.

The price is commensurate with quality. I like that it has an XLR input for the mic and an instrument level input. That is very hard to find at this price point. Since I plan to use a condenser mic and effects through an outboard processor I don't have much use for the wireless mics. Which means I wasn't overly concerned with voiding the warranty. I took one of the mics apart and turned the potentiometer on the circuit board all the way up. It is now both louder and noisier. Since it was a compromise I could live with I did the same to the other mic. If you want to try it you will need to desolder and resolder the mic capsule wires. The bezel around the switch just pops out using a small screwdriver. After prying the bottom loose the board slides out. There is no way of doing this without leaving some obvious marks of tampering so I don't recommend doing this unless you're okay with the potential consequences. In my case it was fun to tinker with. Most people will plug in a wired mic since that's still louder than what I was able to achieve with the wireless mics.

Bought 2 at once. First one looked brand new in the Amazon box but the second one, looked like the photo. Plugging it up, it worked but wouldn't stay on unplugged. Called AVsuch and such 5 minutes after delivered, they can't replace it, it's Amazon problem. The order on Amazon said the package is still out for delivery. Call Amazon, Amazon called Av, they came to the conclusion that they can't replace it and if I want a refund, I would have to pay for shipping myself. Yet, you can get one tomorrow if you purchase. So you know what, took it apart, found battery disconnected, glued the door back together, it works. NOT 1500w but working. Went back to the first one, everything looks good but there is this static feedback that's killing the quality. No win win situation here but hey, I got what I paid for.

Love this product

Used it for the first time a few days ago. I have used several more expensive equipments before but this one definitely was above many of them that I have used. The advertisement says 1500 watts. Not sure how it can deliver that, but I was able to play MP3 audio files at faily high volumes without much distortion. It took some adjustments with the different components (i.e, audio input, mic inputs, and equalizer), and I was able to get a fairly decent match without much distortion. Also mic feedback was almost absent, unless you had the mics right in front of the speaker. The one drawback appeared to be less 'bass' but I was still surprised that it delivered as much for the price of the system. Bluetooth connection for my Iphone was seemless and easy. We had a sizeable hall accomadating about 150 people at least and the system fit the bill. We even had heavy dance music and the system held the floor. Don't think the folks realized that they were getting all that from one compact speaker. I was able to use the system for over 3 hours without attaching the unit to the wall at all! $150 andchange for the system was a big bang for the buck! Never seen so much capability in a one unit. Surprised, and now highly recommend...

I got complaints from neighbors around where I live that I was being too loud. If Its loud enough to piss off neighbors then its good lol

Looks like a badge/logo was removed from the front grill and then painted over. No charging cord or remote control was included. Very likely this is a used speaker. Considering a return.

I was so excited when I got this speaker. It seemed to have everything I need in one, easy to transport package. The sound is loud for large events, the mics sound good and the bluetooth works*. HOWEVER, I add the * because the bluetooth and mic both cut in and out. I use this for my business and had to stop because it was so unreliable. If it worked consistently, it would be great, but it needs that to be fixed. I would have returned it, but didn't do it in time.
