LyxPro SPA-8 Compact 8" Portable PA System 100-Watt RMS Power Active Speaker Equalizer Bluetooth SD Slot USB MP3 XLR 1/4" 1/8" 3.5mm Inputs

This is my second LyxPro 8 speaker. Like the light weight, easy set-up for Bluetooth, easy to connect two together with line out. Good sound quality and output power for the price.Used them for outdoor music streaming

Being a music speaker tech system nerd, I thought let me try something with new age tech and a brand that kicks sound. This speaker surprisingly delivers with great clear sound. Controls the low, mid and high ends with most music. Excellent control knobs. Played rnb, reggae, deep house, jazz and classical. All sound very good!!Via Bluetooth it’s solid holding the transmission within a 25 metre range.Annoyingly though you have to log out of one device to use another device otherwise your locked in from the old device so note,…remember the last device that’s logged in. The Dong connection sound needs to be updated! lol.Would be good to have the latest Bluetooth tech to share login with many devices like the Bluetooth jbl charge 3 speaker. This Should be upgradable with software!!!??? Although,..This is solid and it’s built like a tank so you’d expect some impressive performance. Yeah,…this speaker is a poser and With all the other connections for an instrument or mic is very handy. It’s been used for garden parties 30-50 peeps , and a meeting in a hall with 80 peeps. This is easily transportable. 100 watts is reasonably load for one speaker so for the purpose, it’s good. I like heavy bass speaker systems so having a compact speaker like this is with its functions is enough these days. Would be good to have a sub woofer button. To get that deeper low end sound.You can only try it to witness the capabilities this speaker delivers to the atmosphere.Personally you won’t be disappointed!!!Had for almost 4 years now and I really haven’t looked for anything else cos this speaker still rocks!!! Great Value for money

Wanted a speaker to play dab radio through in my garage and I tried a re-chargeable battery bluetooth one which was a waste of time and £50. For another £35 the Lyxpro just blew me away with great sound. Just connected my little Sony dab radio with a 3.5mm jack lead from the headphone socket and can now have all the digital stations with good sound quality.Also the volume control on the radio works which is handy as the controls are on the back of the unit. As it also has bluetooth I can stream music to it from my phone/computer etc if I want to, and I'm buying a bluetooth transmitter to connect the Sony radio: that way the Lyxpro can be mounted on the roof joists out of the way. Took me a while to realise that the bluetooth volume control is with the equaliser knobs, while the volume controls for the other two channels are on the other side of the panel on back of the speaker.

I am not going to be using this for bluetooth and it is not the battery powered model. I use this strictly for guitar and vocals with a harmonizer.I bought this to solve the problem of having to move all my equipment into the warm living room to practice and then breaking it back down to move it back to the cold garage. I can heat and air condition my garage but it takes awhile to get it warm in the winter and by that time I'm out of the mood to practice or play. I like to keep my guitars on the stand at the ready in the living room, not in their cases as I should. The biggest issue to solve is I use a harmonizer (TC Helicon) when singing and a guitar. In the garage I have a mixer and an acoustic amp and there are no issues for setup. But, I can't have all the patch cords and mixer in the living room and the acoustic amp is too big to leave set up along with compression pedal, volume pedal, etc. It took all the joy of playing and practicing out of me. Another issue is that the guitar out from the harmonizer is XLR but I'd need it to be a 1/4" jack for the PA or the PA would need another XLR input. If it was a 1/4" out of the harmonizer, I could use the TC Hellicon effects for the guitar.So, what I do with this is sparse and its size is small enough to slide underneath an accent chair with the harmonizer and volume pedal when not in use. Very neat and easy, out of sight when finished and I don't have to disconnect anything. I had to figure out the ins and outs because its different when not using a mixer. So, my guitar connects to a volume pedal, then to a splitter to provide a signal to the harmonizer (required) and a direct connection from the split to the PA line jack -- no mixer. The mic is on a boom from the music stand and folds up when not in use and music stand is the only thing I move out if company comes etc. The mic (XLR) goes to the harmonizer and the out from the harmonizer (XLR) goes to the PA, again, no mixer. My acoustic guitar has an onboard equalizer, no in line effects. I'd like to have my compressor but I'm determined to keep this a minimal setup easily hidden when finished playing. So my setup is specific to my needs and I understand this won't apply to many reading this, but for those who like to play guitar and sing, this works pretty well at a decent price point.The PA came with a remote for the built in player (SD card or input RCA etc.) I have no use for this but it all operates as expected. DJs would love this but probably should get the 10" model to be more versatile for spaces and larger rooms. This 8" model is more than adequate for the largest of rooms in a normal house and handles guitar and voice easily with good clarity. I have about 20 hours on this and there's no heat issues. I set the levels in the rear of the PA and forget it. The volume pedal for the guitar is mandatory for adjustments and the harmonizer has level settings and effects for voice. There's a lot of headroom left if needed. The compressor pedal could make it a slicker setup for sound, but not for out of sight storage in my case.This same setup could easily be used for small coffee house, bookstore, retirement facility, nursing home, small church/chapel settings. I don't do that but I'd have faith in this setup and maybe take the compressor and a patch cord along in my pocket. A very portable, easy to carry powered speaker but if I did gig like this a lot, I'd get the 10" model for possible larger venues like a bar or outside patio settings without a built in sound system. Buskers could use the 8" battery model but again, go with the 10" or more as I'm not sure how loud you might require outside or in subways etc. - Your call -- I can only say that the 8" is plenty in the house/garage and my wife gets a headache from volume and stress of repeating same song or initial sound leveling when required. So I've practically set it up mostly for the harmonizer and the volume on the guitar is almost nothing which is fine since there are no effects.Would a small acoustic amp solve my problems better - nope. Exceptions would be if it had on board effects and if it had enough watts to make a difference. Usually those amps with a small enough profile to fit under the chair have small speakers and the voice on anything less than an 8" speaker is not enjoyable for me as it starts to sound "tinny" or small". My acoustic amp in the garage is large profile with two 6" speakers (30amp) and it barely is acceptable for vocal. A single 8" handles bass notes on the guitar better. Neither would be good enough for acoustic bass except for practice imho.If you have a need for an application such as this, this is a great little speaker for the price. Because it handles the harmonizer and voice , it would work pretty well for karaoke but not for "professional" karaoke contests etc. DJs should have at least two of these, but should be looking at the 10" model. Announcer at a business function/picnic etc. would find this acceptable but if they wanted if for music during the function, then again, the 10" model (even two speakers) would be better recommended. Sound for the patio and pool would be perfect with bluetooth applications but I have not determined the max distance. This 8" is very light and portable. Its so useful and versatile I don't know why anybody could not find a use for this or at the very least have one on standby in their closet.

Haven’t officially use it yet, just testing and I think the sound loud enough for a medium size room for 80-100 people. Just bought this for occasional use.
