LD Systems ANNY 8 Portable Battery Powered Bluetooth PA Speaker – Black

Portable 80W RMS Battery Powered PA Speaker With 5-Channel Mixer, Bluetooth 5.0 TWS, DynX DSP Gen.2 & Up To 11 Hours Battery Life – LD Systems ANNY 8 Black.

The LD Systems ANNY 8 is a compact and versatile 80W RMS (160W peak) battery-powered 2-way PA speaker designed to deliver professional sound performance wherever it’s needed — from outdoor gatherings and garden parties through to school events, sports venues, bars, dance events and busking. The lightest and most compact model in the ANNY series, the ANNY 8 combines an 8" woofer and 1" tweeter with an integrated 5-channel mixer, 3-band EQ, reverb and delay effects with footswitch input, five application presets and Bluetooth 5.0 with AAC codec — all in an 8.8kg package with a practical carry handle and tilt-back cabinet for flexible deployment on the ground or on a 35mm speaker stand.

DynX DSP Gen.2 ensures distortion-free, clean and powerful sound reproduction at all output levels including maximum volume, and an integrated lead gel battery delivers up to 11 hours of operation in ECO mode or 3.5 hours at full volume in MUSIC preset. Two combo XLR/6.3mm mic/line inputs, a stereo 3.5mm AUX and RCA line input and Bluetooth 5.0 with AAC decoding cover a wide range of source connectivity, and True Wireless Stereo allows two ANNY 8 speakers to be linked for stereo operation. A priority/ducking mode automatically attenuates music when the assigned microphone is used for announcements, a USB-C port on the rear charges smartphones and tablets during use, and an integrated holder keeps a phone or tablet conveniently accessible throughout a performance. An optional backup battery extends operating time further, and the optional ANNY 8 backpack provides water-repellent protective transport with shoulder, backpack and carry handle options.

DynX DSP Gen.2 & Up To 11 Hours Battery Life

The DynX DSP Gen.2 engine ensures the ANNY 8 delivers clean, distortion-free sound at all output levels — including maximum volume — without compromise to the tonal quality or clarity that demanding live applications require. The integrated lead gel battery (14.8V / 5Ah) delivers exceptional runtime flexibility: up to 11 hours in the energy-saving ECO preset for background music and voice-only applications, and up to 3.5 hours at maximum volume in MUSIC preset for full-power party use. An optional backup battery allows the depleted battery to be swapped out for a fully charged one mid-event for uninterrupted operation.

5-Channel Mixer, Presets & Priority Mode

The integrated 5-channel mixer provides comprehensive on-board control of all input sources without any external equipment. Five application presets — MUSIC, LIVE, VOCAL, ECO and FLAT — optimise the system for different use cases at the touch of a button, and a 3-band EQ alongside reverb and delay effects with footswitch input for hands-free control give performers full creative flexibility during live use. The priority/ducking mode automatically attenuates music playback when the assigned microphone input is active — ensuring clear and intelligible announcements over background music at events, bars and presentations without manual level adjustment.

Tilt-Back Cabinet, TWS Stereo & USB-C Charging

The tilt-back cabinet design allows the ANNY 8 to be angled on the ground for optimised sound dispersion or floor monitor use, and a 35mm flange enables standard speaker stand mounting for elevated front-of-house deployment. True Wireless Stereo pairs two ANNY 8 speakers for a full stereo experience at parties and events, and a USB-C port on the rear of the cabinet charges smartphones and tablets during use — keeping devices powered throughout the performance. The integrated smartphone and tablet holder keeps devices conveniently accessible at all times.
