Audio enthusiasts in search of a portable, battery-powered PA with microphone inputs, voice priority, and Bluetooth audio streaming should look no further than the Galaxy Audio TQ8X Traveler Quest, a portable, lightweight, all-in-one PA system that's well suited for schools, houses of worship, corporate functions, fairgrounds, and other live-sound applications. The speaker can run indefinitely on AC power or up to 24 hours on the included batteries.

The TQ8X utilizes a 150W amplifier to power the 8" woofer and 1" horn, which combine for a 70 Hz to 18 kHz frequency response and a peak SPL of 105 dB. Two XLR-1/4" combo inputs work with microphones or line-level inputs and each are equipped with their own volume controls. A third channel offers stereo RCA or a 3.5mm AUX input for line-level sources. The speaker has a 3-band EQ with master volume control and a built-in media player with Bluetooth. You can play audio from a USB drive or from a Bluetooth-enabled device. The speaker is equipped with an integrated handle for easy transportation and has a 1-3/8" speaker-pole mount with locking mechanism for a secure mounting. With a voice priority button, it reduces the volume of the media player, Bluetooth, and line-level input when it receives a transmission from a wireless or a wired handheld microphone.

A: The Galaxy Audio GT-INST-3 is a wireless portable horn microphone system designed for use with most horn instruments including saxophones, trumpets, tubas, trombones, and French horns. If you are looking for a similar wireless microphone system for a lecturer to wear, then you will want a system that includes a microphone designed for capturing speech, such as the Galaxy Audio GT-V Trek Series Battery-Powered, Compact Wireless Lavalier Microphone System (B&H # GAGTVX) or the Compact Wireless Headset Microphone System (B&H # GAGTSX). Any of these Galaxy Audio wireless microphone systems can be used for broadcast, but the lavalier and headset microphones are better suited for capturing speech than the horn microphone.
