Anchor AudioBigfoot 2 Portable Sound System with Dual Wireless Mic Receiver

JBL, QSC, Yamaha, Mackie, Bose, Danley Sound Labs, JTR, Behringer, Yorkville, Peavey, and many of the pro audio companies make better sounding PA speaker than this portable PA system. Anchor Audio is a good company, but this product isn’t great. It’s only okay. I don’t think it’s worth more than $1,000. The 8-inch woofers don’t go any lower than 55Hz +/- 3Db, so the woofers won’t provide much deep bass, so that means no thumps or rumbles, they won’t shake even your house windows, it won’t knock things off the walls, they won’t shake your walls, they won’t shake your floors, they won’t shake a glass of water even if it’s a foot away from the woofers, etc. You’ll need at least a subwoofer that goes down to 40Hz or below to shake things and satisfy your audience if they like bass. If you like bass, stay far away from this system.

I've used this in my school district for over 5 years. Pep assemblies, marching band, and the like. Give us the volume we need to cover a broad area. This unit doesn't advertise concert quality bass. That's not it's purpose. Perry Wright and his Vine Voice badge can stick it. I

Seriously one of the worst sound system ideas ever conceived. To begin with, 8” speakers are far too small to create any impact beyond about 30 feet. This thing might sound loud if you are standing right next to it, but across a football field, 300 feet away, it will sound like a peanut. Having the controls on the back is totally inconvenient, the mixer and power amp should be at a distance where the operator is so you don’t have to walk over to the speaker to make an adjustment. Avoid any "powered" type speakers. Separates will give better performance and serviceability in the long run and short run too.Battery power is unnecessary, I have never seen a football field that didn’t have 120 volt electric outlets; batteries are heavy and troublesome, if you forget to charge them they go bad and are expensive to replace.You need 15” speakers and 18” if you want some modern bass sounds.If this sold for 300-400 it would still be crackpot, but at over 4,000 it is ridiculous. Save your money and get a real sound system.
