I considered the battery-powered options, building my own PA with a mixer, a 12V car audio amp, speakers and an AGM power-sports battery, and using a car battery, inverter, and a 120V portable PA.

If I go portable and get the use out of the freedom the batteries offer, this might be a good guitar amp, but it's lacking as a PA for vocals.

There are some other portable PA's with that feature built-in like the Mackie Freeplay and Reach.

An EXCELLENT portable PA system!
