I happened to come across this yesterday while browsing the Internet. It seems that Laney are also in the portable PA game, with a setup that looks very much like the JBL EON 210p that I wrote about some time back. From the picture, those woofers like like they can really dish out loud volume but then again, looks can be deceiving. So let us get down with what this offering from Laney is
Apparently, The AH210 is Laney’s compact solution (look familiar?) to portable PA. This offering from Laney consists of two speaker enclosures equipped with a 10″ woofer and 1″ compression driver each. These speakers are connected to a clip-off 6 channel mixer with an on-board Digital Media Player capable of taking an SD card or a USB memory stick and Bluetooth to allow audio streaming from any Bluetooth equipped audio device. Now THAT, in my mind, is pretty good. The AH210 6 channel mixer features four XLR mic inputs and two phone-line level inputs. Each channel features Bass, Treble and Echo controls. The mixer section also has RCA inputs, plus a stereo AUX in, a monitor feed and RCA outputs.
Specifications-wise, this is what this AH210 has to offer:
- Integrated 6 channel mixer
- 2 x 400 watts
- 35mm pole stand fitting
- Neat Clip of storage compartment for cables
- Phantom power
- Clip off 6 Channel mixer
- Play music Via USB or Memory Stick
- Lightweight and portable
- Integrated MP3 player
- Item dimensions: 490mm x 315mm x 312mm (HWD)
- Carton dimensions: 555mm x 635mm x 365mm (HWD)
- Item weight: 18.70kg
Remember I said in the beginning that the speakers look beefy? Well, they must be to handle 2 x 400 watts. That is not too bad for this unit. Also, the built-in player is a plus. The Stagepas 500 that I have does not have that and I have to hook it up to a separate sound source for that. All in all, it looks pretty good.
