*A quiet **Generater.Systems** , love the dual fuel capabilities, camper is 50 amp but the adapter helps and found it still handles the load. Haven't taken a camping trip yet, that's in a couple of weeks. Will see how well it does over a long weekend.*

For a simple ceremony setup many hours 10+

[@mexicanpower544]

We have used the kzbin.infoUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

4:16 A few years back, I got fed up with trying to reach into the back of my amp/mic racks to try and connect external stuff. What I did to fix that, was to buy some panel mount XLR's, Speakon connectors, and a pre-punched 1U 8 hole rack plate from Ali Express (eBay should also have them). I then mounted the connectors to the plate and labeled them. I even added a USB port connector so I could charge my cellphone and tablet if needed. The only pain was cutting, stripping, soldering and then heat shrinking all the extended wires sections to the back of the new connectors. That took me a few hours to do, but it was well worth it. Setups and strikes are so much easier/quicker now.

[@terrancejohnson8239]

Been using the Jackery 240 for about 2 years for ceremonies. Love it!

I have been using a Jackery for 2 yrs now on my ceremony system they last 8 hours easy on a wireless mic and a peavy dark matter 12 powered speaker and a mackie board. love my jackery.

Great video. I used to have a ceremony set up similar to this one but it wasn't battery power. However for the last three years I have been using a Bose S1 speaker and sennheiser AVX microphones. It is super portable. I traveled to Cancun with my ceremony set up on a backpack.

[@borg386]

Nice! I use a jackery 150 to power all my wireless mics, my mixer, and my Bose L1 compact. No fuss no mess! As he said you don't need much to power these systems.

[@DeeJayShowTime]

Rick use the following Neutrik NA3MDF. you can drill it into the blank plate for your xlr mic connections. great video.

[@CoroaEntertainment]

I don't think that's the locking version.

[@sypho23]

19:42 - Pro Tip(lol): I leave my XLRs plugged into the mics. I use 2 small/short bungies and hook them to the screw holes. To those bungies, I have two Velcro ties that I use to bundle the XLRs (15') when in transport or not in use.

[@DJ-Coma]

I use the Jackery 240, which is what I think you’re recommending as the lower model to get and I agree. One advantage I see with your battery is there are multiple ac outlets. Mine just has one, but of course that’s not an issue if you’re always using a power strip with one or two open outlets if you need them. I basically use the 240 for just a wireless mic, sometimes a small fan to keep me cool, and sometimes a laptop charger. I’ve never drained the battery below 60% by the time the ceremony is over, and rarely go under 85%.

[@chrishaney1954]

The bluetti eb3a is a beast, usually 209 bucks on Amazon can do 600 watts of power and 258wh battery. I have 3 of them now. I ran speakers off of them for well over an hour when power went out at a gig.

Very nice setup, I definitely have to buy the Audio Technica microphones, I use a Bluetti battery, it’s definitely pricey but I also use it to shoot off two of my cold spark machines away from power for those send off photos at night. 😎

Great video brother

[@Tweel_Weight_Plate]

I'm a DJ, I got molded plastic PA cabinets, I installed commercial movie cinema woofers & tweeters into the cabinets, I get tons of positive feedback regarding quality of sound, (great for weddings).

[@bigpartyorchestra]

can you share a picture or some info on this?

[@Tweel_Weight_Plate]

@@bigpartyorchestra You need to contact a supplier and order/buy a commercial cinema woofer, tweeter & crossover, then somehow install them into a smaller transportable speaker cabinet.

[@Elniniss]

I power 3 receivers with one 28,000mah battery bank that’s smaller than one receiver. I use usb to 12v adapters. I have a small acoustic band so I’ve used it like that about 8 hours in one day and still had half battery left.

[@superdad8274]

Awesome . For the mic.. how does the receiver reach all the way to the back so you can connect the antenna?

I use a powercases dg600 battery to power a light that i want in a spot that has no outlet or they are all in use and it can power a kam led party bar v2 for ovet 10 hours

[@DjRickProduction]

Hey Ricky, if you use the Shure combiner you can combine the combiner. So I think Shure says you can combine 5 combiner into one combiner. In a big setup you can use 25 receivers. If you use the Shure axient series with there quad receiver (Shure AD4Q) you theoretically could use 100 Wireless mics. I don't know were you could possible need and use 100 Wireless mics at the same time but its possible and if you have unlimited money, don't quote me on that, you could use combiner from professionalwireless and combine even more wireless systems xD Sorry for my bad englisch :D hope you like the information :D

[@DJMikeLoverSmitty]

Great build , i would have add the xlr and 1/4 inputs 2x

[@motleychristian6462]

Hi DJ Rick why not put two more holes in the plate for the XLR......????????

[@DJRickWeb]

Yeah I mentioned that. Probably a summer project to add to the rigs

This. Not changing it lol.

[@Jonathan_Knight]

how about a full system? what Generator would you recommend? Mixer, speakers etc...any thoughts?

[@DJRickWeb]

Full system jackery 500 or 1000

[@DJ.StevoD.Entertainment]

Rick Webb. You use Audio Technica mics. Do you have the link for the 3000 series with wireless lapels? Your link goes to handhelds. Also link for the rubber washers?

[@DJRickWeb]

All the mics are on back order. So you have to do some searching on those. No clue where to get washer comes with the antenna

[@djtwilite318]

thanks for the video. do you think the jackery you have or the cheaper one you recommended can power the numark mixstream pro? i want to use the mixstream pro for ceremony for all battery set up with my jbl eon one pro

[@DJRickWeb]

Absolutely. My DJ just used it to walk around a car show for 2 hours playing music on the midstream. Used like 15% battery lol

[@therealdjmikej]

[@alexmusic2387]

How to power a pair of JBL PRX815 for an acoustic Duet for at last 8 hours? Any portable option?

[@DJRickWeb]

Gas Generator. Or a battery generator that you can hot swap batteries like the ego one

[@rickneiheiser5091]

How do you eq your lapels and mics to combat feedback.

[@DJRickWeb]

Speaker placement is step 1. How you place your lapel on individuals is second. Then it comes down to gain structure to avoid any unnecessary gains in the system that can cause it

[@djpyramidz3756]

Hey DJ Rick! Getting back into DJing after a long time! Could you show a beginner friendly ceremony setup? that would be awesome

[@davidhughes8574]

Welcome back! I use what I think is a very simple and clean battery powered ceremony system. I have a small one shelf metal booth with white cloth panels. I use a Denon Prime GO as my controller for complete control, Denon says it has a 4 hour battery life. And in a pinch I have it ready as my backup unit. I use a Denon Prime 4 for my main setup. Next I use a simple Shure dual mic system, which I run on a Colorado sound and light battery pack. For sound, I use a JBL Eon Pro, It has a shorter batt life than my Maui GO 5, but it has better outputs. It's a very clean looking system, super portable and easy to setup! I don't user a mixer or one of those huge rack mounted antenna setup's. I talked to Shure about those big rigs, thinking I was doing something wrong and they assured me for what most mobile DJs do the standard dual mic is more than enough. I've only had one drop out issue and it was my fault for not scanning for channels while setting up! Just good old operator error ! Good luck :)

[@DJRickWeb]

No clue where to get them. Contact the dealer you bought the sennheisers from

[@djlev1734]

Thanks for the awesome video bro. 2 questions: Are you able to close the back lid and leave the antennas on? Also why are you using that 3 prong passive connector? Couldn't you just go straight from antenna combiners to the rack mount?

[@DJRickWeb]

Yes leave antennas plugged in at all times plenty of room in the lid. I don't understand second question

[@801DJVIC]

As to the 2nd question. He is using the passive combiners to convert the 2 original antenna of each unit into one larger or longer antenna per unit and gain back the same amount of power signal per unit with the updated customized antennas and save space. Hope that helps

[@kertinaproduction5486]

Great content. What do you think about this mic Audio-Technica ATW-1322 System 10 PRO Dual Handheld System.

[@DeeJayShowTime]

i have a set and they are great. but i dont trust them for ceremonies out doors.

[@DJRickWeb]

Those mics are wifi based and like someone else mentioned would not trust outdoors or in general won't use. The wifi band is so congested compared to the radio waves between 400 and 500 hz which are what my mics use. Ben stowe made a super in depth video on this. I think it is in the dj vault

[@DJ.StevoD.Entertainment]

Rick, Can you run a JBL Eon One Array off of the Jackery bigger battery you have? I was thinking it would be great for a ceremony away from power not wanting to run long ext cable

[@DJRickWeb]

It should be able to. It has a bunch of power. And they male bigger jackery

[@petenicezz]

hi, i need help. what you reccomend for a portatable power station to use for djing outside, thx

[@brendenorth187]

Rick, question. So I see there are two lapel mics and two handhelds, with two receiver units. Maybe I missed it, are the 2 lapels working off one unit and the 2 handhelds off the other? Then lastly, do they sell them in pairs or did you just order another handheld and body ack? Thanks man!

[@DJRickWeb]

No only two mics can work at once. So we can do two lapels for ceremony than switch to two handhelds at ceremony. And i bought extra handhelds to allow for this

[@DJ-Coma]

What size and what kind of drill bit did you use for the holes in the rack panel?

[@DJRickWeb]

Its a metal stepper bit. And i just kept going one more step until it fit.

[@DJ-Coma]

Do the antennas fit with the case lid on or do you have to remove them before closing up the case?

[@DJRickWeb]

They fit with the lid. Do not need to remove them

[@BxChamber]

In your opinion would the jackery battery hold strong to power a asus zflow 13 pc tablet ,pioneer sb3 controller, and a soundbox 2 speaker for a 5hours?

Hey bro… quick question… what type of Jackery or other power station do I need to power 2 Rane Twelves mk2, a Pioneer S11, my MacBook Pro and a little Bluetooth speaker, power all of this…to be able to practice in the garage that I don’t have any power outlets or power at all…so what do you think I need to power those things?… and no I don’t wanna buy a power generator because of gas or propane and releasing carbon dioxide and being enclose in the same room with me, I don’t wanna run it all the way to the outside either because people anybody can pass by and steal it while I’m practicing closed doors. 😆…let me know … thank you 🙏

[@DJRickWeb]

The big boy jackery should work. It's like the 500 model. A better thing you can do to figure out what to get. Buy a watt o meter. It measures the power draw of stuff plugged into it. See what your system pulls. Then buy a battery that has enough watts to power it / for how long you want. Also consider if you have any other battery things tools etc what you can get. Like me personally I have an ego lawn mower, blower etc. They make a battery generator that uses the same batteries.

[@superdad8274]

Hey I need to do the same. What did you get?

[@travisharris6453]

How to be a mobile DJ

[@riffism]

I'm just playing devil's advocate here: The portable battery doesnt have the clean form factor that you get from a rackmount battery. So with that in mind, when would you ever need to use that tiny Jackery battery for another element of your show? If you lose power to your laptop, youve also lost power to your FOH speakers...which are NOT going to be battery powered at a corporate gig or wedding reception. If you.lose power to one...you lose power to ALL of your necessary elements for a show. So why make your setup look much more "amateur" with an orange battery pack under a table or on the floor nearby. Personally, if the highest level of fee and setting myself apart from the competition as more professional is part of the equation, I'm leaving tue ugly battery units at home and spending the money on a rackmount.

[@DJRickWeb]

It's under a covered table no one sees it. And the highest end companies in this industry all use them.
