Battery Powered Ceremony | Maui 5 Go, Bose S1 and Denon Prime Go

[@lavishlifedjs]

Great video. Subbed. I use the Maui 5 Go with an IPad. Very convenient very sleek. I get lots of compliment. Side note...your content creation skills are dope...from the videos, framing, editing, audio, etc...keep it going

[@AaronStrawn]

I'm with you. I think the Maui 5 Go and iPad are the best combination. Thanks so much!

[@madzen23]

I’ve been at this for about 15 years. I have to say, your presentation here is so clean & you make so many great points. Like most, i’ve slowly evolved my outdoor ceremony setup to what I thought was a perfect situation for me. Well you just gave me a couple more great ways to improve. Thanks brother!!

[@AaronStrawn]

Thanks! My setup is always changing

[@jeffreynichols803]

You got me with the …”but nobody brought a beer”.

[@TheSingingDoctor325]

Great video - helpful information and entertaining.

[@AaronStrawn]

Thanks!

[@RoxiTamaka]

The gooseneck mic is a great idea

[@AaronStrawn]

Still using it. Only advice, it can sound creaky when they move it, so mute the mic first

[@frankarechavala5957]

@@AaronStrawn thanks Aaron for the great mic stand idea . where can i get the gooseneck part for the mic stand and will it work on any mic stand?

I did my first battery powered ceremony yesterday and it was so awesome. Setup in one trip in about five minutes and it sounded great. I'm running the Bose S1, Sennheiser Wireless Lav, Jackery Explorer 240 power station. Officiant could be heard clearly 100 feet away at 12 o'clock on channel one on the S1.

[@AaronStrawn]

Boom! Love it

[@carlosrowe6729]

Arron? With s1 pro what is the largest ceremony you've done with it I have a wedding at the end of the month and I'm wondering if I should use the s1 or l1 pro 8 there's 150 people I'm leaning towards the l1 pro 8 what do you think I'd love your opinion

[@StuartBeesoon]

Hi nice video as usual... what's the model name or brand of the mentioned powerbank please? It look nice and very compact

[@AaronStrawn]

Thanks! I have the link to the power bank in the description for you

[@djpc4246]

Thanks, this video was very helpful. I just got the Maui 5 Go for ceremonies and to power the wireless mics, I use the Lithium battery power bank. I plan to use an ipad for ceremonies since it's a cheaper option. I am getting the table you recommended :)

[@AaronStrawn]

iPad, Maui Go and baby table, you’re good to go!

[@craigparry282]

Nice informative video, got some ideas from this thanks :)

[@sideejay1]

You can completely eliminate any of the wireless problems you're having by having a directional paddle antenna. Then you can go back to wireless without any fear whatsoever. I used two of them with my ceremony setup along with two of the Sennheiser omnidirectional lavalier microphones.

[@AaronStrawn]

Def interested in checking out paddles. Thanks Robert!

[@iankleier8919]

I agree - in 2019 I started using a wired mic at all outdoor ceremonies

[@AaronStrawn]

I’m was like setting up a wireless mic outside and saying a Hail Mary lol.

[@familylegacydjs]

Good Stuff! Great video and review!

[@AaronStrawn]

Thanks for watching!

[@djdannybhtx]

Nice bro. I use the same ceremony setup. Bose S1 Pro, tripod and the same stand.

[@AaronStrawn]

Can’t go wrong!

[@djtroymichael5372]

nice tips..

[@donnycollins1797]

LMAO! That generator part!

[@Stefonewheel]

Hi. Thanks for the content. Why didn’t you put the s1 pro tripod on the descriptions?

[@AaronStrawn]

Thanks for watching Billy! Just cause it was nothing special. Just a normal tripod. I have a link to the one I use at my Kit page which is on my main channel page

[@TheRealDjMikeStone]

Great video!!. Lots of great tips. What battery pack do you use. I am considering investing in one and wanted to get your thoughts? Thanks again Aaron

[@AaronStrawn]

Thanks Mike! I use this one- amzn.to/3C4B7tp I have been able to power my J8Mix during cocktail hour for several hours

[@SuperKingDingo]

Great video! Although I saw the link for the goose neck but you didn’t specify what length you use was it 6in-13in or 19in? Thanx

[@AaronStrawn]

13

Am I crazy? I cannot find😀 Would you also provide the links for the iPad holder and the metal thing that gets attached to the speaker pole?

[@bleeju85]

Great set up! On the Maui 5 Go, can you plug in 2 mics instead of just one? Assuming you arent using a mixer or an extra controller and you plug in everything into the speaker itself. I noticed that the Maui has one XLR input for microphone. Can you use the 1/4 for a second mic, eve though it says it can be used for guitar

[@AaronStrawn]

I think you could connect a mic with an XLR adapter, but I wouldn't do that. If you need to hook up more than one, I would suggest a small mixer like the Yamaha one I got

[@davedenboer9422]

Aaron, I really appreciate the nice job you have done with the video. I belong to a non profit group that does outdoor ceremonies. 25% of the event will be music, 75% speakers (officiants). We are looking at portability so this video helped a lot. I had narrowed my choices to Bose S1 and JBL EON One, till I saw the MAUI5GO. My question is will one of the first two do the job for outside venues that will be under 75 people? Mostly worried about the speaker (officiant) being heard. Or if having to go to the MAUI5GO, greater expense plus the Yamaha mixer for added push of the mic which also means the battery pack for the mixer...... more $$$.

[@AaronStrawn]

Ok- so my opinion is that if you run an XLR mic for the person speaking, the Bose and Maui are about the same volume. If you are having more than 100 people, you will def need either a wireless mic or the mixer to get more volume, but for 75, either should work great. I lean more towards the S1, I'm not terribly impressed with the Maui. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching Dave!

[@mangadolo]

One time DJPro crashed all of a sudden and had to reopen it. I was using it on a brand new 12.9 iPad Pro 2020 paired with Pioneer DDJ- SB3. Luckily I was just practicing at home but it makes me so nervous.

[@AaronStrawn]

I've never had that happen, but I do worry about that. I've got all the music in apple music in a playlist ready to go on my ipad just in case

[@musiconions5562]

Hey Aaron--loving the videos! Question about the Denon Prime GO setup. I'm thinking to buy 2 S1 Pros and connecting them to a Prime GO with XLR cables. In your experience, is there any lag when spinning from the GO? Thanks!

[@AaronStrawn]

Thanks for watching! That's a cool idea. I haven't seen or experienced any lag with Go, and I have used it for ceremonies and receptions. Can't go wrong with XLR either!

[@musiconions5562]

@@AaronStrawn awesome. I just bought 2 S1 Pros, and they sound great. going to test them out with a Prime GO this weekend. thanks again!

[@AaronStrawn]

@@musiconions5562 you got it. Tell me how it goes

[@musiconions5562]

​@@AaronStrawn got the Prime GO and the 2 S1 Pros. Wow, they sound incredible. My buddy brought over his Maui 5 Go, and that sounds amazing as well--better low-end for sure. I just like the portability of the S1 more. XLRs to the S1's worked fine. And I also ordered some guitar transmitter receivers to connect the Prime GO to the S1 Pros wirelessly, and that also works perfectly! No lag. I bought 2 pairs of these: Getaria Wireless Guitar Transmitter Receiver Set 5.8GH.

[@AaronStrawn]

@@musiconions5562 love it! You should be set

[@AaronStrawn]

EDIT: The DJAY app does charge annually. It's still worth it though. I may pick up the Reloop Buddy to use with it.

[@cduemig1]

Did you see the mix by DJ Angelo on the Reloop Buddy? Shockingly good. I’ve got neural mix pro for getting acapellas and such. If there was an all in one that did this I’d be first in line.

[@ojloera3306]

How big of a ceremony do you recommend the Maui 5Go?

[@AaronStrawn]

1 should be fine for 200. The music is plenty loud, you'll just want to make sure you get good coverage with the mic. So adding an extra mixer or using the Prime Go should be a good enough push if the group is that big.

[@Bayenke]

are two bose s1 worth for outdoor parties with 50 people?

[@AaronStrawn]

That should do it

can the battery be used with the basic Maui 5 ? thanks

Not that one, I recently got this one, and it powered my RCF J8 and EV 30m. Here's the link: amzn.to/2WNGnmg

[@hammelgohard]

@@AaronStrawn Hey, are you sure that's the right battery pack for the systems you mentioned? Because the item description says "It can't power the devices which rated over 350watts (Max)" on Amazon, but the J8 for example is 700W RMS/1,400W peak. Thank you for the video by the way!

too bad it doesn't have phontom power

[@chrisperry3525]

interesting..you don't trust a $1000 wireless mic or a GTD which I've found to be fantastic, but you rec bluetooth? c'mon man, BT isn't nearly as reliable.

[@AaronStrawn]

It's not so much the mic, but the other factors that can cause issues. I will say that I didn't follow through with this, lol. I used my wireless mic all season

[@Anh-Áo-Nâu]

Wired mic is best. "Good" Bluetooth is reliable too. I have both.
