I'm still in testing mode for the sound system. Basically the Anker battery adds a little hiss to the speaker output. I tested a different power bank and found no hiss at all. So I am getting a splitter for an Easy ACC powerbank as this seems to be very clean and zero hiss on the output.

I'll be testing my VT3 system for the 1st time tomorrow at Baltimore Comic Con. Can't wait to see how it work's in the real world instead of my basement.

Let us know how it goes. I need to know if you get any feedback from the MIC and if you find any problems with crowd noise getting into the device. What is your set up BTW?

ebay you can get 100000mah usb battery packs for around 20 bucks

shame they are a bit long, would be good to put into the belt, will get a couple of these to keep running all day :)

I don't 'know why it came out upside down... but it is the sound that matters... And I'm lazy. :twisted: :roll:

@FLIGHTLDR SERPENTINE, I can't play it either -- at work. :censored:
Either I.T. has it blocked or my antique web browser can't play the file - it is a webm video.

Hopefully you can get to hear it someway, cause it is COOL :sunglasses:

Here is what I'm using, everything is old... :oops:
Windows PC (Vista) I can see it in my out-of-date Chrome (49.0.2623.112 m) and Firefox (42.0), but not my out of date I.E. (9.0.8112.16421IC).
And I see it on my Android phone, running Chrome in Marshmallow.

I know GoldCylon and bishopdonmiguel use Apple tech, but not sure on exact applications.

Webm is a Google format, generally supported by their products but not much else. Safari will not play it (without add-ins) but VLC Player is up to the task.

Ahhhh.... ha!
I'll just try to zap the sound out of my video to an mp3. Then most should hear it, and be able roll down the road listening to it too! :D
