Re: [microsound] wireless outdoor speakers



no expertise here but an idea at least....
a car stereo only needs a car battery to power it, - you can get some pretty kicking volume out of them.


if you have any "friends" who might wanna help you out with say a brick and a window if you know what i mean (i don't condone this method in any way) but you could save a bit of cash that way, otherwise Costco for a new car battery and the junkyard for an amp/radio?

the wireless side woudl simply need to be some kinda cheap transmitter... i think you can get boards, schema, and components from maplin.

i'd say get creative with the housing, a trash can could make a good disguise especially if you intend to freak people out in public spaces....

good luck !

I'm fishing for advice/expertise with setting up speakers in an outdoor, or at least impromptu location, wirelessly (both without audio and power cables). This would need to involve some combination of wireless transmitters, receivers, battery powered amps or speakers, and possibly appropriate housings to keep all of this equipment safe and portable. There are, of course, massively expensive systems available out of the box, but I'm shooting for something more modular and, well, cheap. Anyone have any experience with this kind of setup?

The wonderful portability of the laptop-as-instrument is somewhat thwarted by the amount of extra shit that has to go into getting it to make so much as a peep. Has anyone done any (un)successful experiments with this kind of impromptu performance in an unprepared location?
