#50 Fender Audio Elie 6: $299.00 Amazon $299.00 eBay

Pros: A compact three-way speaker with a built-in four-channel mixer. The XLR and 1/4 inch combo input, with 48V phantom power and a -14dB pad, takes a microphone, guitar or line source and plays it alongside Bluetooth, with two more channels for optional wireless mics. Reviewers describe a clean, midrange-focused tuning where vocals and acoustic guitar stay clear instead of being buried under bass, and the downward-firing subwoofer gives surprisingly deep, controlled bass for a 1.79 kg speaker. Up to 18 hours of battery, USB-C power-bank output, a 3.5mm line out, and stereo pairing or Multi mode for up to 100 Elie speakers set by a physical switch with no app needed.

Cons: Single-cabinet mono sound with no bass or treble knobs on the speaker. Treble can sit a little behind the mids and bass, it is not tuned for heavy bass, and it loses composure near maximum volume; a larger room needs 80 to 90 percent volume. Rated at only 96dB at 1 meter, and owners report that sources without their own volume control can leave it short of volume. IP54 splash resistance only, with an exposed maple wood top that should be kept out of the rain. Playback is limited to about 70 percent of maximum volume while charging from an adapter under 20W, and there is no track skip on the speaker.
