Germany - LD Systems has introduced the ANNY series – a battery-powered PA system for musicians, singer-songwriters, street art performers, and ‘users who appreciate the lifestyle convenience of a Bluetooth speaker and still value high-quality sound and professional equipment’. Whether for mobile live gigs, speech reinforcement in clubs and schools, or simply for quality sound on the go, far away from any power socket – ANNY is a fully fledged PA system that transforms any location into a stage, says the company.
The ANNY 10 is available as the first in the series. The active two-way full-range loudspeaker with 10" woofer and 1" tweeter combines an integrated six-channel mixer, three-band EQ and effects (reverb, delay), Bluetooth 5.0 streaming, and a footswitch input for hands-free effects control with a compact and robust housing that can be moved effortlessly from place to place thanks to its wheels and telescopic handle. The connection options include two microphone/line combo inputs, a stereo channel with 3.5 mm jack (AUX) and RCA inputs. The ANNY 10 also impresses with a battery life of up to 25 hours (ECO mode) or 5 hours at maximum volume.
In addition to the basic version, LD Systems also offers the ANNY 10 as a set version with up to two wireless microphones. For this purpose, the ANNY has two rear slots for receiver modules with their own volume control and sync function, which can be retrofitted separately if required. You can choose from sets with one or two handheld wireless microphones, one or two headset microphones including bodypack transmitters, or a combination of handheld and headset microphones. All wireless components can be purchased individually and are also compatible with future ANNY models.
For voice applications and announcements while music is playing, the ANNY 10 not only has a DSP-based VOCAL mode, but also a priority function that can be activated. In the settings, users can specify which connected microphone – whether wired or wireless – should be prioritised. As soon as the selected microphone is used, ANNY reduces the volume of all other signals. This ensures that announcements can be heard clearly and distinctly at all times.
In addition to the versatile application possibilities, the True Wireless Stereo (TWS) function allows you to connect two ANNY 10s wirelessly to enjoy music in stereo – a quick and easy upgrade to provide powerful sound for larger events and parties.
