"The original FreePlay was incredibly versatile and powerful, but we knew we could add even more value,” says Ryan Cassady, Mackie Product Manager. “Not only is the new FreePlay LIVE even more compact, it offers a built-in battery and integrated mic stand mount, eliminating the need to buy additional accessories to get those capabilities.”
Mackie introduces its FreePlay LIVE speaker as the perfect personal PA for anyone who needs a lightweight and great-sounding solution for music performance and speech presentations with plenty of power on tap. It can run on either AC or battery power, with the built-in high-capacity rechargeable battery offering up to 15 hours of rich, powerful sound. FreePlay LIVE features inputs for microphone, guitar, keyboard, or playback device, and allows users to stream music wirelessly from any Bluetooth enabled device. Plus, with the FreePlay Connect app, users get mobile freedom to control levels, EQ, reverb, and more for amazing sound in any situation.
“FreePlay offers an unmatched listening experience from a speaker this portable and affordable,” remarks Cassady. “But we wanted to deliver that same incredible sound quality to even more people in two new ultra-portable music-dedicated models.”
