Looking for suggestions for VERY portable "FRFR" or PA

[molul]

Soon I'm gonna be travelling between two cities for a while and I'd like to have some portable guitar equipment with me.

I currently have a Helix LT and a Headrush fr108, and I'm thinking of getting a HX Stomp and I'd like to find some equally small "FRFR" monitor (I use Helix's amp sims). Ideally, I'd like something half the height of Headrush fr108 (like Roland Microcube, for a real example). Not much power needed.

Any recommendations?

For your own monitoring or for an audience?
iLoud micro monitors from IK Multimedia are good for close monitoring at low volume.

For home use only.

6.5 pounds; 95 dB rated; sturdy enough to handle moves; no idea how it sounds: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/B105D--behringer-b105d-50w-powered-monitor-speaker

I’m think there’s a Mackie one too, that might be nicer, though not necessarily.

EDIT
Yikes. Three times the price though.

Mackie SRM150 150W 5.25 inch Compact Powered PA System

150W Active PA Speaker with 3-channel Mixer, 3-band EQ, and 5.25" Driver (each)

To be fair, tye 5.25” Behringer is $179, so not thrice the price.

For home, these are awesome.

Flatulence range; flatulence response

I bought a Roland Micro Cube to pair with my HX Stomp for portability's sake, for a completely battery powered rig. It's more expensive than that little Behringer speaker.

I use the Roland Cube Street at home. It’s stereo, and sounds good enough in the house. Depending on your budget, I would consider powered studio monitors.

Would not want even one studio monitor for portaging between cities - a driver's gonna get murdered. Or a pair of ilouds either - ugh dongle fest of two boxes with a link cable, etc.

Fwiw, did you consider a Yamaha THR (10 or 30)? In case you're lazy, you could even grab just the amp and IMO it serves rather well as an active stereo monitor for home usage alike scenarios.

I vote Stereo Portability.

I've seen how you throw your pedalboard into the caddy -- those things wouldn't last one trip!

 

[Boudoir Guitar]

Not at all. The term describes the phenomenon accurately.

Xerox accurately describes an office equipment manufacturing brand. The problem isn't the term, it's the general public's use of the term that is the problem.

Yeah, I guess they are not as military industrial complex stout as that Behringer is.





Still think stereo is a more pleasing option in the long run.

In all seriousness; both topics are at a general standstill. Buy an amp, buy a CLR you don't trust to stay working or even receive. Or buy a Meyer sound.

I mean -- there is some semblance of a grill cloth covering the driver on that Behringer!

My understanding was this thing was for moving back and forth between cities regularly. If that's not the case, then yeah, get a pair of monitors and park them.

Try and find a used Carvin QX5A. They're cheap and sound good for acoustic, electric and vocal. 3 channels, one of which is set up for backing tracks. 5" speaker, 150 watts, 6 lbs., mounts on a mic stand.

This has to be the single turdiest recommendation thread ever on this Forum.
