When you’re trying to play an evangelistic video on your phone, what’s the most common problem for the huddled crowd trying to view it? Most often it’s going to be actually hearing what’s going on from the tiny (not-so-loud) speaker on your mobile phone. One of the best ways to boost your phone’s weak speaker is to connect an external speaker so everyone around can hear. But how do you know which one is best for your mobile ministry endeavors?
Our friends over at Mobile Advance have just updated their review of pocket speakers, portable speakers, and standalone media players for mobile ministry. In their review, they provide a detailed listing of all technical specifications and their findings for the 13 different speakers they tested.
Be sure to also read their first review of portable speakers for mobile ministry from 18 months ago – the brands and models have changed, but the article is a good intro to why you might want to use a portable speaker.
Take a look at the latest Mobile Advance review of 13 different portable speakers for mobile ministry:
From the media specialist perspective (producer, trainer, advisor), I have been packing and using the Bose Soundlink Mini the past year doing projects and training for OMF, SIL, OM Arts/HSI, Christar and local ministries globally. Bluetooth or Aux connectivity. Fills a moderately sized room of people with realistically detailed audio, the most important component of a production. Solid build, road worthy as well. I expect it to last for many years of projects to come.
