The Electrotec Stage One is a battery-powered, fully wireless PA built around SKAA, and I put a full four-box rig through its paces on the balcony: two Stage One tops and two XB subwoofers. It might be the most fully-rounded PA for DJs we've reviewed.
I cover why SKAA beats Bluetooth, how one transmitter feeds up to four speakers, battery life, every input and output, how it sounds and how big a crowd it covers. I also get into latency, the 37ms standard mode versus 19ms SKAA Pro, and the two easy ways to beat it, plus prices and who it's for.
