I work for a hospital and present health education programs out in the community. I need a sound system that is portable, yet fairly powerful and easy to use. I originally purchased the predecessor to this sound system about 7 years ago, and had nothing but trouble with it. I decided to purchase this new model, hoping that improvements had been made. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. I often check to make sure it works before I go out into the field, but when I set up it doesn't work. The batteries are new, but it won't turn on. Sometimes if you play around with the battery pack and push it into position (it often pops out as there are 10 batteries to jam into the space) it will work. Also,no
matter how I position myself and the case, I get a lot of feedback. Sometimes it's the microphone that doesn't work even though new batteries have been used. Very frustrating. We spent over $1,000 on 2 of these products, and don't have a workable sound system. Stay away from this one!

The wireless transmitter has terrible problems and is not reliable. Sudden bursts of extremely loud static will come out of the speaker during use. It's unusable. Connecting the mic directly to the amp seems to correct the problem but defeats the whole purpose of the product. Contacted the seller but have not received a response.
