Measuring just 290x210x175mm and weighing in at a mere 3.3kg - the 150W self-powered, integrated mixer, speaker system is a highly versatile solution for all manner of "carry-on" performance, playback, presentation and public address applications. In addition the LIVESYS5 is a powerful personal stage monitor system, either floor-standing or ingenuously mountable on a microphone stand for close personal monitoring (for drummers and percussionists, keyboard players, solo instrumentalists and singers, or DJs).
The class-D powered 5-inch speaker system, provides 150W continuous and 300W peak power, and features a low noise 3-channel mixer section with 2 mic/line inputs on XLR (balanced) / TRS (unbalanced) combo connectors and a line input on stereo phono or 35mm jack connectors. 3-band EQ, switchable 48v phantom power and on-board effect are all included.
For monitor applications, a rear mounted XLR / TRS input enables connection of a stage monitor signal. An XLR 'thru' output is mic / line level selectable (with switchable phantom power) to enable supply of mic or line signals from the LIVESYS5 to a FOH mixer, or to feed an additional monitor speaker.
"Expanding our portable PA range is a key element in increasing our presence in the MI market," says Studiomaster general manager Patrick Almond. "Products like the Livesys5 are key in opening up new opportunities for us; being so versatile, the Livesys5 offers more than just a portable PA, it is also designed for personal monitoring, using the included mic stand mounting kit."
