American Audio APX12 GO BT, Battery Powered 200W Active Loudspeaker 12" (Display Model)

The 12" American Audio APX12 GO BT is a 200W battery-powered PA speaker that’s portable, versatile, and simple to use. Its all-in-one design can function as a main PA and cover an audience up to 150. The onboard 3-input mixer and LCD interface offer a variety of playback options for everyone from yoga instructors running classes in the park to DJs playing poolside sets or street vendors selling their wares to buskers performing in subway stations.

The speaker provides wide coverage with a sensitivity of 93 dB, offering plenty of volume for small venues and mobile applications. The highly efficient 65W RMS Class-D amplifier (200W peak) powers the 1" high-frequency driver and 12” woofer, providing crisp, detailed sound with a wide frequency range from 18 kHz down to 40 Hz. At 35 lb and featuring a retractable handle and wheels, the APX12 GO BT is a truly portable option. The integrated rechargeable battery provides 8 hours of use and includes a battery-life meter.

The rear panel features a built-in audio player that can stream audio from any compatible portable device, such as smartphones and tablets. Additionally, the player includes an SD card port and an USB port to playback MP3 files onboard as well as an FM tuner for playing your favorite radio stations. Channel 1 of the 3-channel mixer has an XLR and a 1/4" mic input with a dedicated level control. Channel-2 has a 3.5mm aux input, dual RCA, and an XLR line input with a dedicated level control, while channel-3 offers a level control for the Bluetooth/MP3 player. A master volume control and treble & bass tone controls round out the mixer control options.

A dedicated XLR line output is available for daisy-chaining to additional speakers for expanded coverage. All three inputs are mixed to a mono signal internally and are passed-thru the Mix Out XLR connector. For a true stereo L/R operation, two APX12 GO BT are needed with each to receive independent the left and right signals respectively.

Additionally, a wireless remote is also provided, which allows wireless control over playback, track skipping and volume functions. The system also incorporates a UHF wireless microphone setup, with a receiver built in to the cabinet and a battery-powered handheld mic included as standard. The APX12 GO BT ships with a power cord.
