AIAIAI Unit 4 Wireless+ Speaker Review - The only portable speaker you'll ever need?

[@LegendaryMaoMao20]

As a DJ who doesn't have their own bedroom, this is an absolute win, I saved $94 so far, I might buy this before Christmas, this sounds so good, a lot of people say it's a gimmick, and it is for them, but for me it covers all the basics

[@Dasbeerboots]

I've been looking for a DJ video on these for a while. Thanks!

[@digitaldjtips]

Glad we could help, hit us up if you have any questions.

[@Dasbeerboots]

@@digitaldjtips I think you should mention that these are studio monitors, not PA speakers. There are a lot of pretentious and confused folks commenting on this video.

[@rombsix]

You stated at 7:03 that the transmitter has a line-in, so if that is connected to the output of an audio interface, would the transmitter power on? Or would the USB-C end of the transmitter have to be connected to a power bank? In other words, does the line-in connection power the transmitter?

[@digitaldjtips]

It needs to be connected to a power bank

[@rombsix]

@@digitaldjtips - ah, I see - thanks!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

@@digitaldjtips correct I use my small Anker power bank that works like a charm in small footprint to be truly DAW-less and portable without a computer. Works great with my small modular setups. Now I need to get a larger power bank for my synths to be truly portable jamming at the beach, forests and on the road camping.

[@estupedude21]

Beautiful, sold. Thank you sir 👍🏼🥲

[@digitaldjtips]

Glad to help

[@cosmicpuma]

These would be really cool for pool parties or out in woods with a group. Thanks Phil.

[@digitaldjtips]

Yes, "micro parties".

[@manishyuticus]

Bought these last week and they sound great. Only problem there is a delay on the headphone output on my rane performer, when I try and beat match - is this how it works or have I set it up wrong? Many thanks, Manish

[@IHavePi]

If you are an outdoor mobile DJ I would also consider buying two Soundboks GO or two Soundboks 4 and an Akiko Skaa Pro transmitter which also has ultra low latency for DJing. The Soundbokses have built in Skaa receivers. For outdoor parties this configuration is much more louder.

[@digitaldjtips]

Oh for sure - that system is in a completely different league in all ways.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Mine arrived this week and wow such fantastic monitors! I do use an Anker portable battery pack for the dongle which is the only downside to them since it requires a battery source.

[@digitaldjtips]

Yes agreed it’s the only downside really

[@bkeating]

Thanks for the review Phil! How would you say these stack up as a portable speak for a DJ set compared to the minirig 4 (ignoring price)?

[@digitaldjtips]

Louder and better suited as these can also be put onto stands

[@bassoomash]

Does this work with the Omnis duo? If yes how can I connect the transmitter without a laptop?

[@digitaldjtips]

Use a battery pack

[@tawmifm]

Does the grille really affect the sound?

[@digitaldjtips]

Yes, try any speakers with and without and you'll hear it - it's the higher frequencies that get slightly attenuated.

[@bigbadjojo4863]

Could a Denon DJ prime 4 or Prime Go connect wireless to the speakers without a laptop? I would love to see it with the Go, Because the Prime Go runs on batteries it’s self.

[@digitaldjtips]

That's a good question, we didn't test whether you can just plug the interface into any USB socket (you'd need an adaptor) then use it with the LineIn, so potentially use one of the USBs on the Prime. We'll test when we can.

[@bigbadjojo4863]

Great! be sure to test them with a usb hub, along with a usb thumb drive@@digitaldjtips

[@DayNNyteDJs]

Not an ideal setup, but I'm guessing you could go RCA out to 1/8" into the mini jack on the transmitter. No batteries or laptop needed.

[@bigbadjojo4863]

might give that a try@@DayNNyteDJs

[@igorshendarovich2409]

One again can you send me exact link for laptop stand and holder that you use for you mac that is seen on video?

[@digitaldjtips]

[@MatthewLambert-x6o]

How would u use This with the Omnis duo with your connections, not Bluetooth?

[@digitaldjtips]

No easily due to the transmitter requiring, we think to be plugged into a computer.

[@MatthewLambert-x6o]

@@digitaldjtips please test to confirm:)

[@bigtoy10311110]

In terms of sound quality alone, how does it compare with the 8020D?

[@digitaldjtips]

Sorry, not done the comparison.

[@eddiebrady2005]

I am using a pioneer V10 mixer with 6.5 trs booth outputs, which adaptor do you recommend to go into the UNIT 4 receiver (mini jack)

[@digitaldjtips]

You can go straight to the balanced TRS sockets on the AIAIAI speakers.

[@doobyscoo_2182]

Does anyone know if you could connect these with the transmitter that come with the TMA 2 studio wireless + headphones

[@digitaldjtips]

It's a good question and the answer is we haven't tried it, probably not though as ti would mean you couldn't use them both together?

[@fnk101]

Phil can you help me with info, i have just set up 4 separate dj set ups at my home i would like them to all share my one set of speakers Yamaha hs8s, what do i need

[@DataHoarders]

tune in on Tuesdays or Thursdays to their live show. they do product or software reviews then open up for questions. i think Thursdays are more open format and more question friendly. i bet he will see this question if you ask then and try to help. they are very good at that.

[@fnk101]

Thanks

[@digitaldjtips]

You need a "live mixer" with enough input channels, look at brands like Mackie.

[@fnk101]

@@digitaldjtips Ok thanks

[@bboymac84]

They need to make bigger mobile speaker versions for major gigs. They can make big money!

[@digitaldjtips]

Look at the Soundboks / SKAA solution, which is exactly that

[@bboymac84]

@@digitaldjtips true. I think SKAA needs to get in that section to get more customers

[@tombyrnerocks]

love u Phil

[@DataHoarders]

800 bucks? wow, being the first has its perks!

[@RenatoHarripaul1217]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ashleystyles6888]

Sound output of a kenwood chef. No thanks. It's for use outside. It would be nice to actually hear it.

[@digitaldjtips]

There is no point playing speakers on a KZbin channel, what would that achieve through our mics, their compression etc? If that's what you're asking?

[@DJ_DAV_iD]

£700, 16ms delay, for wireless 30watt speakers…… they will not sell. It solves a problem that does not exist. If you need wireless, Get yourself cheaper speakers, and use some kind of UHF radio audio transmitters to each speaker for a fraction of the price….

[@digitaldjtips]

Convenience. Also 16ms is fine.

[@indegruv]

Cheap gimmicks

[@Dasbeerboots]

Offer an alternative.

[@indegruv]

@@Dasbeerboots not wireless

[@Dasbeerboots]

@indegruv Sick. Thanks for the very insightful information. I bet you only use a landline and dial up internet.

[@indegruv]

@@Dasbeerboots I use what sounds best

[@Dasbeerboots]

@djstuc Power? Yes. Sounds quality? No. These are ruler flat from 50Hz to 20KHz. They are for producing music, not performances. They are also much smaller than the S1 Pro.
