Jackery Explorer Power Station 500

Overview

These are the results of using a Jackery Explorer Power Station 500 to run an L1 Model II with ToneMatch Mixer[1], two B1 bass modules, and Kemper Stage electric guitar processor.

Conclusion - Jackery Explorer Power Station 500 should provide power for moderate-to-high volume for at least five hours for a L1 Model II with a ToneMatch Mixer[1].

Update - L1 Pro Systems (Pro8, Pro16, Pro32 with Sub 1)
I have repeated all the same real-life tests using the L1 Pro systems. The power consumption is almost identical to those shown for the L1 Model II with two B1s shown in the tables below.

L1 Model II with 2 x B1 + T8S 110 205 198            2.1


Run Time Calculation Examples

518 watt hours x 85% (for inverter efficiency) = 440 watt hours.

Example: L1 Model II + 2 B1 + T4S at 100 dB

440 watt hours / 75 watts = 5.9 hours

Add draw from Kemper Profiler Stage at 12 watts

440 watt hours / (75 + 12) watts = 5.0 hours

If using a T8S instead of T4S add 5 watts to draw

440 watt hours / (75 + 12 + 5) watts = 4.8 hours

L1 Compact[2] (60 watts at 100 dB) + T4S

440 watt hours / (60 + 20) watts = 5.5 hours

Remarks

Occasionally I perform outdoors in settings where an S1 Pro system doesn't provide adequate coverage. I wanted a solution to power an L1 Compact and a ToneMatch Mixer[1].

Minimum Requirements
  • Pure Sine Wave[3] inverter
  • Minimum run time at moderate volume (85 dBC SPL) 5 hours

The smallest capacity unit I could find was the Jackery Explorer Power Station 500.

Here's my rationale that led me to test using the L1 Model II.

For most outdoor gigs:
