LD Systems Roadbuddy is a full-range, portable, AC/battery powered, PA system that includes a 16-channel handheld wireless microphone with automatic tuning. Roadbuddy 10 PA also has a built-in media player that can read, support and play MP3, WAV and WMA files (FAT16/32), directly from the SD card or USB slots on the rear panel, or stream directly from a connected Bluetooth device within a range of 10m. Roadbuddy 10 models have moulded speaker stand mounts, compatible with 35mm speaker stands.
There are three input channels available in addition to the inbuilt UHF receiver; Channel 1 can be used to connect a stereo device such as CD player, smart phone or media playing device, with input options of single stereo 3.5mm jack socket or dual RCA phono socket inputs. A switch situated above the channel inputs allow the user to switch between the auxiliary source or the internal MP3 media player. Channels 2 and 3 can be used as microphone or line by using the 6.3mm Jack/XLR combination inputs and the line/mic switch, while an ‘Echo’ control allows the global application of effect to the wireless microphone channel and input channels 2 and 3. A 6.3mm jack line out socket is provided to send the global signal, controlled by the master volume control, to a separate amplified speaker for additional dispersion.
Powered by an internal Class D amplifier 2-way Roadbuddy 10 can produce 120W RMS (480W peak) for up to 8 hours. The 10-inch woofer and 1-inch high-frequency compression-driver produce a frequency response of 55Hz to 18kHz, and two-band equalisation gives the user the option of fine-tuning the output signal. A 4-stage LED display shows the remaining internal battery life.
Wheels are integrated into the bottom-rear edge for easy transportation.
