Buying new sound equipment is a big expenditure, and not one to be taken lightly. After much research into reinforcement speakers that could replace my current Wharfedale Typhons. In the process, I looked at many battery powered systems that might also allow me to play without a power source. Very few offer big, quality sound along with long battery life… And then I found the Soundboks generation 4s!
The standout feature of these units is their total independence from mains power. Running on a detachable 12VDC lithium battery, they boast a theoretical lifespan of up to 40 hours. In real-world testing at a recent local outdoor function, we ran them at high volume for six and a half hours, and they consumed less than 40% of their charge. The build quality is rock-solid yet remarkably lightweight and easy to carry. Sonically, the clarity is outstanding, delivering an impressive punch of low-end frequencies that you wouldn’t normally expect from a battery-driven setup.

While we recently paired these alongside our daily-driver 1400W Wharfedale speakers to create a massive, wide-broadcast frequency spectrum outdoors, their sweet spot is indoors. They are absolutely ideal for medium-to-large rooms that demand a bold, bassy presence without cluttering the floor space with a massive, dedicated subwoofer.
With full app-based Bluetooth tuning and ultra-high-quality SKAA wireless transmission for linking multiple units, managing your sound system has never been cleaner. There is even a handy USB-C port to keep your playback devices or DJ accessories topped up all night.
Whether you need standalone wireless sound hire or a reinforced audio layout, these new arrivals are ready to deliver pristine, uninterrupted audio across the region.
