Room Ceiling Lights With Bluetooth Speaker

A must-have for use with ceiling mounted lights!

Using in church venue ceiling height 12ft. Running mono system with sub, Speaker is mounted to ceiling 51ft from back wall centered on 60 ft room width. Previous speaker a Renkhas Heinz too loud below and directly in front of speaker, dead spots in back corners of room also high end muffled dropped off significantly to the side. Did a lot of research looking at polar patterns of different speakers and the Toa fit the bill what clinched it was the ability to adjust the dispersion angle of each speaker in the array. Initally was going to mount it horizontal but the dispersion wasn't good so mounted it vertically and by adjusting the speakers the dispersion is great, not too loud in front and underneath, no dead spots in corners, highs are crisp full 180 degrees around room. Also purchased the adjustable ceiling mount.

Easily controlled & access many features with your smartphone using a free/dedicated PartyBox app. You can also plug in or run on rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Has Bluetooth, USB and AUX connectivity. The "box" really does sound great! The bass is incredible but not distorted. through the built-in and customizable strobe lights--- hours of music playback--- feature that may come in handy is that you can use the USB port to recharge your mobile device. In addition to streaming wirelessly via Bluetooth, you can also connect sound sources directly. The speaker also has a 1/4" jack for an optional wired microphone. There's also a 3.5mm stereo minijack input for another compatible audio source. This is truly an all-in-one speaker. Battery life is more than good enough for my requirements, even at higher volume with the lights on, while the sound quality is very crisp and clean. This JBL offering goes beyond the basics and offers additional functionality that is actually genuinely useful. Highly recommend!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife got this sound tower, and I am the second reviewer in the house. I have several Bluetooth speakers at home, but when I saw this beast, the MX-ST50B I was really curious if this was just about size and lights or about sound. This is a very simple speaker to operate. You can stream from Bluetooth, plug is through a RCA cable, and even use a microphone for karaoke. Personally I just wanted to hear the sound which for me is most important. This speaker does not disappoint. The lights are a nice addition as this really is a party speaker. I didn't sense they work in perfect unison with the music, but there a several light sequences to choose from, and all of them look pretty cool. I didn't expect something of this size to have a battery, but it does. Makes this very "portable" as there is a built-in handle to lift it and move it around. The battery allows for placing it anywhere you want, not restricted by a cord. I streamed some metal music from my phone and I was quite impressed with the clarity of this speaker. It also had decent bass, and depending on the song, the bass boost livened things up some more. If you're looking for a single speaker to entertain with, this would be a great choice. You can link speakers together either in stereo, or more speakers to fill out a larger area. I definitely recommend this speaker.

I paid extra for a Bose Bluetooth speaker over other brands because we used to own a Bose Wave Radio/CD player, and I still use my Bose PC speakers. I know a lot of hardcore audiophiles dislike Bose for how it manipulates the audio - but I'm no audiophile, and Bose speakers always have big sound for a small device - not just loud, but full and encompassing the space I'm in. This one surprised even me with how room-filling the audio is, especially from a battery-operated speaker that's not much bigger than a portable DVD drive. It goes with me whenever I travel now, and I take it from the living room to the bathroom when I'm showering so I can hear over the water what's being said on podcasts.

I got this for my daughter as she was headed off to college. I was looking for a bluetooth speaker for her dorm room and finally realized that the Apple product was not much more than the cheap ones I had been looking at. When we got it we were super impressed with the product overall and especially the sound (for such a small speaker).

The speaker is small looks nice you look at it and your maybe having little expectations however turn it on connect bluetooth and see how clear and amazing that sound is raise the volume and notice it fills way more then just a room a living room and more very loud to the point it actually pushes air out the speaker. Definitely buy worth it absolutely plus it has very tiny rubber point legs which keep locked in the ground and is also waterproof.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Authentics 500 was absolutely breathtaking right out of the box. Quick and easy pairing via Bluetooth made for a fast startup, and then song after song was incredible to listen to from a relatively portable speaker. The first thing noticed was the cool, retro vibe of the speaker - not as common anymore but a welcome addition to any room and much more subtle than many of today's speakers. Trying to test the full range, this speaker performed magnificently from classical music with piano solos, to guitar riffs in rock and metal, to room-shaking bass in rap. The volume, bass and treble controls on top of the speaker are easily tuned and have a great light feature which indicates the level (i.e. the higher either of these are turned, the more full the circle of light becomes). Playing drastically different styles of music allows the listener to easily hear why the product is so amazing: the three tweeters, three midrange woofers and large subwoofer create an immersive sound experience, no matter what is being played. Additionally, this speaker performs amazingly well when paired with a TV/entertainment center. When paired with Bluetooth to the streaming service, watching movies became a delight and provided rich, deep sound with stunningly clear audio for voices and sound effects. Aside from the music quality, the WiFi integration on the Authentics 500 allows for automated assistants to be readily available (also accessible via ethernet port in the rear of the unit). While the price of the Authentics 500 is near or higher than some similarly-sized speakers in the market, the look, quality and value of JBL continues to exceed expectations and this is no exception. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to invest in a great, long-term, high quality speaker to enjoy throughout the home for years to come.

The best bluetooth speaker investment choice I could have made!

I could see the next step is an in-ceiling or in-wall mount for this size speaker.
