LD Systems has expanded the ANNY series with a new model: thanks to the ANNY 8, good sound is possible everywhere – in the park, on the street, at the club, or at the next party. The battery-powered Bluetooth PA speaker is the most compact model in the ANNY series and is available in four modern colours to suit individual design preferences: black, white, green, and grey. For versatile use, the ANNY 8 has an integrated five-channel mixer with multiple inputs and a wireless microphone in various versions.

The ANNY 8 is an all-in-one solution for anyone who wants to make music with friends or simply listen to music in the highest quality while out and about. Whether for musicians, DJs, or a whimsical meeting in the park , the battery-powered two-way PA system with 8” woofer and 1” tweeter offers more than an ordinary battery-powered speaker and combines a robust, compact housing with a sound and range of functions unrivalled in its class.

The ANNY 8 lets you realise numerous playback set-ups on the go. The spectrum ranges from singer-songwriter sessions in the park to outdoor workouts, impulsive karaoke evenings, and party sound systems. In addition to the two combo inputs for microphones and line instruments and the integrated wireless microphone, there is also a stereo input (mini jack or RCA) and Bluetooth 5.0 for flexible playback of music and other content, and thanks to the True Wireless Stereo (TWS), true stereo streaming when two ANNY 8s are used.

With the latest generation DynX DSP, the ANNY 8 offers a distortion-free, transparent, and powerful sound even at maximum volume. In addition to the five application presets MUSIC, LIVE, VOCAL, ECO, and FLAT, effects such as reverb and delay are available, which can also be switched on and off hands-free using the footswitch input. The ANNY 8 can be continuously operated for up to 11 hours when set to energy-saving ECO mode. And even with the controls fully turned up, the MUSIC mode only ends after 3.5 hours. A spare battery (Li-Ion) that can be replaced in no time at all is also available for longer sessions.

Anyone who spends a lot of time en route with their ANNY will be delighted with the sophisticated design of this compact all-in-one solution. The ANNY 8 offers a holder for a tablet or smartphone including a USB-C port for charging. The housing is also angled at the rear so that the speaker can be tilted backwards and used like a stage monitor. The ANNY 8 can be quickly moved by grabbing hold of the sturdy carrying handle on the top. In addition, the 35 mm flange allows the speaker to be optionally mounted on a speaker stand. For longer transport (and safe storage), an optional ANNY rucksack and rain cover are available.

The ANNY  8 is available as a basic version (without wireless module) and as a version with wireless microphone or headset microphone incl. bodypack transmitter in the colours Stage Black, Pure White, Adventure Green, and Urban Grey.
