Recent Minirig 4 convert, wanted as close to zero latency as possible. Demod some popular choices such as tribit max sound plus, soundcore motion + and uboom L. Uboom l was my favourite of those but baaad latency and preferred Minirig sound felt closer to studio. If you are playing in beats on 404 latency can be a real barrier

Heard from a couple of sources that the Earfun Boom I is pretty good IF you tune the settings. Check Alan Ross Reviews on YouTube or here: https://canadianomad.com/best-portable-bluetooth-party-speakers-battery-powered/#Soundboks_gen_3_%E2%80%93_Most_well-rounded_powerful_battery_powered_speaker Remember though, if you’re going for ultraportable DJing then really one of the major things you’re fighting is that physics really isn’t on your side. You can only push so much air about with a small speaker, and they almost invariably sound muddy when you get to high volumes. If it sounds shit, people will feel fatigued quicker, and will lose dancing energy. It’s just one of those things. Since as a DJ your main concern is often getting people to dance, or at least enjoy music, then you should be absolutely concerned about this. And as I said, for ultraportable DJing this is a bigger thing as you’re necessarily doing it with smaller equipment which doesn’t have the same headroom thanks to *physics*. I’d generally recommend you go for minirigs. They’re more expensive, I know. But it’s a one time purchase, and they are the best you can get. Anyway, I’m curious - what’s the rest of your setup look like (or planned to be)? Mine’s 4x minirig 3s, 2x Minirig Sub 3, iPhone 12 or iPad Air, djay pro, numark dj2go2 if using the iPad, apelab apecoins for lighting. But thinking I might swap to the new Hercules one as it would allow me to go fully on to the iPhone.

Minirig speakers are awesome. I know they're pricey ... but just go for then if you want small portable sound. They're effectively modular so if you just need 1 Minirig then just take 1 Minirig (e.g. 3-5 friends going away for a weekend), and if you need a 2.1 or 4.2 or whatever for a bigger thing then take that.

Dunno if this is interesting but I have: - 1x iPad Pro - Djay Pro AI - Numark DJ2GO2 Touch - 4x Minirig speakers - 1x Minirig sub (considering a 2nd) - Lots of wires - 5x Apelight ApeCoins  - Battery packs This is pretty much good to keep a small party going strong for 8hrs. I've used it for kids parties at ~50 kids but they don't want really loud music. I suspect it's not suitable for that number of adults, you'd probably want another speaker to reinforce the sound. I think Minirig are bringing out a new Doppler speaker in the foreseeable future so if you can hold on until that's ready (no timelines but prototypes have been in testing for a while) you'd be good. But yeah, a party for ~20 adults that can go completely off grid yet you can carry the whole thing in a backpack plus a change of clothes, a bottle of rum, a bottle of coke and some water :D

The minirigs are EXTREMELY loud for their profile size. I don't think another speaker that is as small can make the same clarity and volume as the minirigs. They are 3"x 4" and pushing 30w for the Minirig 3, the new Minirig4 are pushing 40w. HOWEVER, they are really a nightmare to get connected correctly wirelessly, and the fact that the speakers are proprietary (which those Rock steady speakers look to be) makes it even more cumbersome to set up. I feel they are best used in a wired situation, which they seem designed for mobile DJing to begin with anyway. There is much better value in solid all in one party/boombox speakers that will deliver easier/funner experience. You have to think about the effort in taking each individual speaker, placing it where you want it, powering it on and waiting for connection, testing for correct synced sound, I haven't really been in the market for speakers so I don't know about the Rock steady speakers. I would tell you that if size is not an issue, get a Teufal speaker, else, even if you decide to get any speaker with a physical audio output(rocksteady speakers), you can connect them to any other speaker with physical audio input later on(minirig3/4, or other), for more dynamic sound staging. The biggest concern at that point would be making sure the audio input/output has little latency as possible. It's all literally based on your use case scenario.

I have Minirig 4.2 setup. I have tested the frequencies at low and high volumes for the subs, and they seem to fall off at the 29hz mark But above that and they can push the bass cleanly. I run the setup through a Qudelix 5k Bluetooth receiver.

:) For clarification, I am meaning to say that the Minirig Sub's bass is lacking for sub-30hz bass, which is probably what you are seeking. I am aware of the physics restraint from the smaller driver size. The Brane speaker you mentioned seems interesting with this as they claim using sound cancellation technology to artificially increase the interior resonance. I don't seem be able to find much info/reviews for it. But yeah, that price! :( I have been hoping Minirig will release a better subwoofer since they released the Minirig 4. But TBH the Minirig sub delivers enough for my ears :) sorry I don't have a frequency response chart from testing, I just do testing with different wave patterns using free apps. I don't own a professional microphone or silent recording room.

Minirig 4. (Plus Minirig subwoofer, or another minirig 4 if you don't mind another 50$) Loudest sound you can get for the size, and you can carry like 6 or more in your backpack or have them attatched on your waist. They're modular so you can take as many as you want with you, and you can sync up as many as you want even wirelessly Just recently DJ'd a wedding with Minirig 4 + Minirig Sub and everyone loved it. (About 20-30 people\*). I always get people impressed by the sound and quality for their size, planning to get another to make it a 2.1 setup.

If portability is a huge priority, then I will be a Minirig stan. I've DJ'd a small wedding (Friend favor, no speaker budget) to playing a sundown set at the park with them and they went great, and are super loud for their size. I recommend 1 Minirig 4 + Minirig Subwoofer, should roughly be around 400$, but if you don't care about bass then 1 minirig is 200$ You can also wire into it as well for 0 latency (Aux)

Well if you change your mind, it can charge your phone/laptop through USB-C connections. Also in a review regarding its splash resistance: "I have to say, the Minirig endured more than it should have had to. It was dropped on one hard and then one muddy surface, it was (lightly) rained on, a beer was thrown over it and at one point, we left it sitting on a very wet surface for several hours before realising. I don’t recommend trying this with yours, but the Minirig (which is sold as ‘splash resistant’) is clearly built to endure" [https://www.buymeonce.co.uk/blogs/research/a-minirig-review](https://www.buymeonce.co.uk/blogs/research/a-minirig-review)

\* AIAIAI UNIT-4 (no subwoofer, I wish they made one) is excellent. Uses either AUX or their ultra-low latency wireless transmitter that has low ms of delay (not perceivable while mixing). Very clear and transparent sound. \* 2x Minirig 4 + 2x Minirig 3 subwoofer is the slightly more portable version. Has more bass extension due to the subwoofer setup and can be scaled up or down as needed. I use both with the OMNIS-DUO + DDJ-FLX4 depending on the setup and needs. (UNIT-4 also make for amazing portable booth monitors if I have a bigger setup, e.g. with my RX3.)

fistful_of_dollars • 7 months ago

Presumably AIAIAI would need offer a sub that would have wired outs to the speakers, or adapt the wireless module to emit to both a sub and speakers and set a calibrated crossover frequency. The Minirigs *feel* like they have more bass extension because the subs are separates, even if the numbers say otherwise — that’s my subjective experience. In particular, the advantage of adding a sub with crossover would be to help the UNIT-4 drivers work across a shorter frequency range - you can hear the cabinet’s limitation in the speaker and a sub would help them open up more. But to my ears, even if they’re a bit more clinical (and optimized for monitoring, since they’re much more revealing) I’d pick them over the Minirigs if space is not at an absolute premium.

Yo, I got two of these speakers, and they're lit! They're like having a boombox on my bag, but they're so small and light that I don't even notice they're there. Most people are into that fake bass sound, so I'm not surprised these speakers aren't more popular. But the bass on these Minirigs is on another level. It really opened my eyes to what a portable Bluetooth speaker should sound like. I do not claim that it is the best, but it is a progress.

Tomer46 • 7 months ago

I understand your perspective, and I acknowledge that the Minirigs may not be as widely accepted as other speakers due to their size and the requirement for two units and a separate cable for the bass. However, I believe that the upcoming Minirig Sub 4, which is expected to be wireless, may address some of these concerns. In my personal experience, I find the Minirig 4 easy to use, with just two clicks on the power buttons to turn them on and connect them in stereo. The combined size of the two Minirig 4 speakers is smaller than my JBL Charge 3, yet they produce louder sound than my JBL Xtreme 3, which I find impressive while maintaining excellent sound quality. I understand that the price point may be a deterrent for many, but I believe that the exceptional sound quality and volume output compared to other speakers of similar size make them worth the investment for me personally. While I acknowledge that the Minirigs may not appeal to the majority of consumers, I believe they have potential as single speakers, offering high-quality sound and impressive volume in a compact form factor. Although it may be a niche product, there are still many fans of this speaker. I am curious as to why not many people have voted for this speaker. Minirig only needs 28 votes, which I believe is not a problem. Perhaps most Minirig users do not trust Rtings or care about them much.😅

Minirigs are a smaller independent company so much less reach than the larger brands rtings normally review. I'm sure if word was spread then enough people would upvote them to get a review. However I always prefer to just try things out myself and send them back if I don't like them. The modular approach is niche but what's interesting is that Minirig have always pushed that mono speakers are the best way to produce sound.. with two separate speakers required for stereo. Other brands carried on for years trying to produce stereo sound through small speakers until they finally realised a few years ago that it's pointless and sounds crap. Hence why most smaller portable speakers are now mono (JBL I'm looking at you!). Bass and volume is a tradeoff.. Minirigs go twice as loud as anything else for their size because of the design choices they have made (large driver, sealed enclosure). Then the sub can be added if you want it. Yes it's easier to have one speaker but the alternative in terms of portability is owning several speakers of different sizes.

From what I’ve measured it’s quite flat and doesn’t have the normal coloration I’ve heard in Bluetooth speakers (boosted mid bass, harsh highs or recessed mids). I A/B tested them against my Genelec 8030 studio monitors and I felt like they had a similar sound profile though a bit more forward (I usually turn treble down a notch in the app) and with less low end below 100hz. You’re right that these aren’t bassy speakers by any stretch but otherwise they sound very “hifi” to my ears.

2 of the 3s and 2 subs. The new 4s just came out that have USB c charging ports. If you're looking to buy some I would stick with the newer ones with USBC charging unless you can get the older ones at a good deal. The barrel jack charger is the absolute only crappy part about the speaker. Outside of that, they are the best portable speakers on the market. This opinion is coming from somebody with probably $2,000 worth of other brands of speakers. Minirigs are built like tanks and sound absolutely amazing.

minirigs are bomb - I've owned 8 in my lifetime Nothing, and I mean *nothing* on the market can match the raw fidelity and output in the same size. Either as a single unit, dual TWS, or with the sub. For me I go with 2.2 Subwoofer system and it has better output and fidelity than 5" studio monitors - but they're BT and battery powered Minirigs just doesn't have a fraction the resources/marketing/budget that Soundcore/JBL/Bose does - and the price is quite high which automatically excludes like 80% of buyers but as the best of the best?

I have mini rig but no sub.  It's good for goofing around with friends in like a 3m^2 room not much more.  Does sound good though!  I'd look at an ElectroVerse Everse 8 for what you want.  Clean up to the redline and lots of bass.  Battery powered.

I have two speakers and a sub and took them to Italy last year where we had an elite villa for 15 of us - DJ'd every afternoon by the pool. They are the best, hands down. Have DJ'd with them at my old work and at a friend's 50th just a couple weeks ago. Elite.

I also give a 👍🥇 to Minirig. Great sounding and aftercare from their Bristol based team is excellent. Had an issue years ago with the charging cable. Sent 2 emails and they sent a new cable to test, problem solved. But they were going to arrange getting the speaker sent back and tested/fixed or replaced. I now have the new speaker and any old Bluetooth problems are fixed. Although I never had any issues with old speaker, but many folks did.

Hello, You can add 2 latencies in bluetooth speakers: 1) bluetooth latency Latency depends on the bluetooth audio codec. The lowest latency speakers decode bluetooth aptx (or variants as aptX HD, aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless), with 40ms latency. Using aptX codec requires a source (Intel AX210 card) capable to send aptx bluetooth. Intel AX210 board is capable to send an aptX bluetooth signal, but you may have to install the aptX codec. 2) DSP in the speakers Compact bluetooth speakers often include a DSP to enhance the sound, which adds latency. => A solution of low latency aptx speakers are Minirig 3 / Minirig 4 speakers: they have no DSP (because they are super powerful) and they are aptx.

Reviews for minirig are a strange breed indeed. There's no denying that you can't get anything better as far as output to footprint is concerned BUT Minirigs credentials with regards to quality control and addressing obvious issues with hardware and app software is historically poor. Not sure if theres some beef between mainstream media and Minirig....conspiracies at the ready😜🤯 I held off a loooooong time before getting 2.1 system...one speaker failed and never bothered replacing it because the app for the MR3 and the stability of a wireless stereo set was so poor. Still, there is no denying the quality and power of 1.1 or 2.1 minirig set up...how other manufacturers haven't followed suit and improved on the modular design is beyond me!?!?!🤔🤯 And yes, Rtings is a pile of.... Horses for courses and each to there own....

You do have your Soundboks, Mackie Thump Go and larger party box speakers from the likes of JBL and Sony...JBL's new ones seem to have garnered good feedback, but theres nothing better then hearing a device in person. Then, as mentioned, you have speakers from what one would refer to as the luxury speaker market, like the Devialet Mania, Brane X and Cabasse Pearl Myuki, which offer serious sound in a luxury package. I don't tend listen to advice from rating guides like rtings....Which is why I own things like Minirig and Libratone Zipp2's, which are great despite their caveats. Personally, despite some feedback on Reddit about the Brane X, I'm looking to save up for one, but I I'm in no hurry as I'm quite satisfied with what I already have.....

Minirig is best in class. After that, look at Everse8, Bose S1, Thump Go

Yup i did, and value is not the word i'd use here🤣 i rather have a whole speaker as a package than a few tuna cans connected with wires. That was a terrible idea

If you enjoy it it's fine, but in this reddit or any bluetooth speaker forum, minirigs, philips, a company that is better at hair shavers than anything else. Those are on the complete bottom of the list. The worst speakers pretty much. Minirig is definitely few levels above companies like philips, but it's wiped by even soundcore which for some reason you crap on it without owning any of it.

Try the Minirig speakers, powerful and can be paired up for stereo, you can also add a sub, all Bluetooth and great British manufacturing. Batteries last for an eternity.

Came to say mini rig as well. I have the 2 of them and the subwoofer. Sounds fantastic. Great soundstage. Nonetheless they sound so good I end up just using one in mono lol.

I’ve used a bunch…. Tried to love mnirigs, what a waste of time effort and money that was. The Everse8 is astounding. I love it. It’s just small enough that I can put it in a backpack and take it to the beach. I put it in my luggage and went to South America… it’s a bit big for that but it was well worth it to have. I think I may have gone for the Bose but I wanted the output not to be lacking. Everse8 all the way…dynacord powered Bosch made water proofish rugged battery powered killer…. So happy with this speaker.

Low is relative…. Is 60 Hz @ -3 db low enough? I did a 5 hr set of deep house on the beach yesterday and everyone seemed to understand the physics of a single 8” battery powered speaker (outdoors) isn’t going to be shaking bones. 😂 Minirig has the same frequency response… this is not the same as spl.

I second this! Two minirigs in stereo are the most impressive sound experience I had so far, even though I listened to >3000€ sound equipment. Being able to place them perfectly as they are so small makes for great listening. Obviously the bass is not as good as a big setup, but wow are they impressive :)

I had 2 Minirigs which stopped working after less than 2 years! I like the size and sound a lot but I dare not buy another one due it’s unreliability.

They're very practical. Ideal if you have decks on the go ,in a caravan etc . Lucky enough to live near their depot in Bristol UK and the service is great with full demos ,maybe a perk being close but the sound quality is worth the price as is the build quality ,that betters any soundcore ,tribit set up I've had before.

If you are close to Bristol, call in and test listen the Minirigs in person and see what all the fuss is about. You will NOT be disappointed. AND Minirigs are made to be repaired / upgraded / battery replaced. Mine are 5 years old and running perfectly but the repair ability is icing on the cake and good to have .
