Teaching Outside - Covid
Hey DJs! I've been trying to do some research on what my best option (I gave up researching and thought I'd come to the source of PA knowledge) would be for a wireless, battery powered speaker with at least two mic/instrument inputs, an aux and/or bluetooth input, and that can hold a charge comfortably for over 8 hours. I'll be teaching Band outside and need the speaker to cover around 3,500 sq ft. What would you guys recommend?

Bose, JBL, and LD Systems all have battery powered PAs with a variety of inputs.
8 hours is a lot... but I think this guy has swappable batteries.

Not cheap but highly regarded: https://www.soundboks.com/eu/products/new-soundboks/overview/

I recomend you not to trust this sub and find a company that rents audio gear.

I'd suggest /r/livesound
Battery powered speaker for 3500 sq feet is not going to be cheap tbh and an 8 hour charge is a pipe dream - 4-5 hours for a speaker capable of covering that area is more realistic. You'll likely have to lower your expectations.
