Behringer MPA100BT Portable PA Speaker System w/ Wireless Microphone
The Behringer MPA100BT portable PA speaker combines an 8-inch woofer, a high-resolution tweeter and a 100W Class-D amplifier. It also includes Bluetooth audio streaming, a rechargeable battery and a wireless microphone.
As a result, the MPA100BT gives you a complete sound system in one portable unit. Use it for presentations, schools, seminars, parties, weddings, fitness classes and small outdoor events. It also suits tour guides, auctioneers, musicians and corporate presenters.
Stream music with Bluetooth
Connect a compatible smartphone, tablet or laptop through Bluetooth, then stream music, backing tracks or presentation audio cable-free. You can also connect another audio source through the auxiliary input.
The MPA100BT connects with compatible iPod, iPhone and iPad devices too, so you can play music from devices you already own.
Use the included wireless microphone
The system includes a Behringer ULM300USB digital wireless microphone and USB receiver. Simply connect the receiver to the speaker, switch on the microphone and start speaking.
The wireless design gives you more freedom to move around the room. It also keeps your setup tidy. The microphone uses the licence-free 2.4 GHz frequency band.
Control four audio sources
The built-in four-channel mixer gives you simple control over your audio as each channel has its own volume control, so you can connect microphones, smartphones and other compatible line-level sources.
In addition, the Music/Speech switch lets you choose the right sound setting. Select Music mode for playback or Speech mode for announcements and presentations.
Run the PA from AC power or battery
Use the MPA100BT with AC power at home or at a venue, or use the built-in rechargeable battery when you need sound away from a power outlet.
The battery provides up to 20 hours of use per charge. However, actual battery life will vary with volume, audio content and connected features.
At 8.5 kg, the speaker is easy to carry between locations via the integrated handle. For added height, place the speaker on a compatible stand using the integrated 35 mm pole socket.
