Imagine a speaker that produces enormous sound pressure – but doesn't need a power supply to generate its outstanding output. The built-in rechargeable battery of the Proel V10 Free makes this all possible. Equipped with a 10" woofer and a Class D amp, the V10 has a variety of inputs and an integrated media player that can play WAV, MP3, and WMA files, using either a USB stick, an SD card, or a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. The sound can be fine-tuned with the V10's practical mixer, with an echo effect available for any microphones being used. The Proel V10 Free is easily compact enough to be carried to the venue or on stage, and can be simply placed on the floor or elevated with an optional speaker stand. To complete the setup for live gigs, Proel also manufactures wireless microphones. A power cable to charge the battery is, of course, included as standard.
The V10's lithium-ion battery delivers up to ten hours of sound. This little powerhouse – its mostly synthetic housing means it weighs only 10kg – is equipped with a 10" woofer with a 1.5" voice coil and a horn-loaded 1" neodymium compression driver, all of which provide plenty of power over its 60°/90° V/H dispersion pattern. The Class D amplifier offers 400W peak and 200W continuous output, and the speaker delivers up to 122dB SPL and operates in the frequency range from 60Hz to 20kHz. Three inputs are available, the first of which is for connecting the media player or a line signal via a mini jack or RCA cable; the other two are equipped with XLR/jack inputs. A simple treble/bass control allows users to optimise their sound - and for recordings or attaching a second speaker, Proel has also thrown in a line out. After five hours of charging, the Proel V10 Free is ready for the next gig.
Beginners will find that the Proel V10 Free is an ideal speaker for amplifying their performances independently of a power connection. And although it's very easy to operate, thanks to the streamlined mixer on the back of the device, the V10 still delivers a lot of sound pressure, making it especially appealing to entertainers who use playback; they'll also love its flexibility, in terms of both storage media and the file formats it's compatible with. For first-time performers in small venues, or for salespeople in need of stress-free voice amplification at a trade fair stand, the rechargeable battery not only eliminates long power cables, but also drastically reduces setup time. The input section offers sufficient inputs for solo artists (or indeed duos or trios), and mobile DJs can simply connect their sound source to the line input. Its ease of use also makes it ideal for house parties, office presentations, and shows at schools or youth centres. Wherever it's used, the summing EQ gives the V10's sound that extra bit of polish.

Their equipment is trusted worldwide for its reliable performance and simplicity.
The Proel V10 Free will turn virtually any space, indoor or out, into a venue suitable for a live gig. This might mean busking on a street corner, or simply concerts in locations where the closest power socket is too far away – this rechargeable speaker lets the performers decide exactly where they want their next show to take place. When on tour, too, the V10 will also hugely simplify arrangements between the venue's management and the artists themselves. And they can make their gigs even easier with one of Proel's wireless microphones. The receivers are simply plugged into the USB inputs of the V10's mic channels: The Proel U24H handheld transmitter is ideal for singing and speaking, with the Proel U24B headset perfectly suited for more active performers like stand-up comedians or personal trainers giving fitness classes. After use, they can quickly pack up their speaker for the next gig in the Proel V10 Free cover, which is sold separately.
