    I do agree 100%. However, I do think that it club DJs have usually consciously decided to specialize, and in that sense they tend to master their craft in their chosen genre and are highly valuable in their specialty. I would say that wedding DJs, are definitely more well rounded and multi-skilled individuals. They also have to master the skill of business and most club DJs do not have to focus on the business end. Excellent points that showcase the skills and what we wedding DJ's bring to the table.

    Great Video. DJLu here... I also do weddings, parties, etc. and I have this speaker. Recently, I bought the S1 Pro + that just came out, and I also bought the transmitters (both XLR for mic, and 1/4 in for guitar, or any other sound source. They are phenomenal! All of my setups are like yours, except I use all battery powered systems for complete autonomy. I have even been praised because I used these as indoor backups when the power went out at an event due to weather. These are not cheap, but are very reliable and sound great.

      Sorry for the late reply. It depends on the application. You could do 100 people for sound fill or something similar with a pair. But I wouldn't rock a party with two of them. Not without a subwoofer at least- even then, It would be pushing it.

      You could do a small party with two of them. They are smooth and clear, but you'll definitely be lacking that low-mid response. If I were you, I'd pair them with a subwoofer for the best sound- and even then, I'd probably not count on them to do more than a 100 people. Good luck and sorry for the late reply!

    I love this speaker/PA so much, I bought two! I have the backpacks you can get for them, and really lightweight aluminum stands in a heavy duty bag. I am a professional violinist that plays with backing tracks and I have been extremely successful playing on the street with this setup. It's a real experience and makes it feel like you're really inside of the music especially with two of them. The money that I've made on the street has paid for all of my equipment two or three times fold. I also highly recommend the investment. 🤩
