Overview

The Alphasonik AKDJ8BAT, AKDJ10BAT, AKDJ112BAT, and AKDJ115BAT are amplified PRO DJ Portable Speaker Systems designed for a range of audio applications, from casual listening to professional DJ use and karaoke. These systems are built with a focus on portability, durability, and high-quality sound reproduction, reflecting Alphasonik's nearly 40-year tradition in audio engineering.

Function Description:

These speaker systems are versatile, serving as portable audio solutions for DJs, musicians, and general users. They are designed to amplify sound from various sources, including Bluetooth-enabled devices, USB drives, SD cards, auxiliary inputs, and wired/wireless microphones. The integrated rechargeable battery allows for extended use without a constant power supply, enhancing their portability. A key feature is the Voice Control Volume (VCV), which automatically reduces music volume when a wireless microphone is in use, making them ideal for announcements or karaoke. The systems also include a guitar amplifier function, allowing direct connection of electric guitars.
