The Galaxy Audio Traveler (TV8) is an AC/battery-operated portable PA system. This compact system features an 8″ woofer, 1″ horn, 80-watt amplifier, and can be configured in a variety of ways to meet your specific needs. This self-powered portable PA system has a coverage capacity of up to 600 people.
Features of the standard Traveler include: 4 Inputs (XLR/1/4″ combo, 1/4″ Mic/Line, RCA Line, and 1/8″ Aux, each with their own volume control), Built-in Bluetooth®, 2 Band EQ, and a Master Volume. Audio Outputs include a dual RCA Line Out and a 1/8″ Aux Output. The Universal Power Supply/Battery Charger allows the Traveler speaker PA system to be used anywhere in the world. The Galaxy Audio TV8 features a voice priority button, which automatically reduces the volume of the media player, Bluetooth®, and line-level input when receiving a transmission from a wired handheld microphone or wireless mic headset (either plugged into the unit or an installed wireless system). This allows for announcements to be made without being overpowered by a music program playing through the media devices. The voice priority can be turned on or off.
The Traveler speaker PA system will operate for an unlimited time on AC power and for about 7.5-16 hours on just battery power (depending on the program). A full recharge of the batteries takes about 6-8 hours. The Traveler may be operated while recharging the batteries without affecting the charge time. If a power failure occurs when operating on AC, the Traveler will seamlessly switch over to battery power.
The Traveler speaker PA system has a unique “plug-in” modular design, which allows optional Function Modules to be easily added or removed. Optional Modules include Wireless Mic Receivers (with Handheld, Headset, & Lavalier options), a media player (CD/SD/MP3 or CD/DVD/SD/MP3 options), and an Audio Link Module, which wirelessly transmits the entire audio mix from one Traveler to any number of satellite Travelers. Since all the Modules are internally wired, no external patching is necessary.
Designed smaller and lighter than the TV10, the Galaxy Audio TV8, the durable ABS enclosure still includes a convenient carry handle, retractable handle, wheels for easy transportation, and a provision for standard pole mounting with a locking mechanism. The Traveler is designed for people who need a portable, lightweight, “all in one” PA system that allows for a quick and uncomplicated setup.
**Please note that the passive TV8U Cabinet is NOT compatible with this current version of the TV8.**

“The Galaxy Audio Traveler has given us an opportunity to make announcements during lunch, audio during meetings, and music/entertainment during student celebrations. Having a battery supply to the Traveler affords us the flexibility to provide opportunities for the students inside and outside. The powerful speaker gives us the power to have the Traveler be what we need it to be. It can Bluetooth from other devices, has a wireless microphone, a lapel microphone, and is lightweight. It has served us as a guitar amp, used during a drama production, and we keep finding new uses for the Traveler.”

The Galaxy Audio Life Saver is a unique equipment stand stabilizer that may be used in a variety of ways in Audio, Video, Lighting, and Theatre applications. Any mic or speaker stand may become unstable because of a top-heavy center of gravity, a boom extended laterally, or simply because the stand is set on an uneven surface. When filled with Sand or Water the Life Saver provides enough weight at the bottom to stabilize most mic and speaker stand applications. The doughnut shape of the LSR38 ensures that the Life Saver will stay on the base of the stand, even if the stand is pushed or bumped. The LSR38 weighs 38lbs. when filled with sand, and 22lbs. when filled with water. The durable reinforced vinyl material and easy-fill water tight design allow the user to transport the Life Saver empty, and fill with water on location. The LSR38 dimensions are: 16" O.D. x 6" I.D. x 3" Thick. The Life Saver will pay for itself the first time it prevents your expensive mics or speakers from hitting the floor.

This is a little brother to the Traveler TV10 and no slouch in its own right. Built with the same quality as the TV10, but with a somewhat smaller speaker and a little less power (50W RMS, 80 W peak), but all of the flexibility, including pro level wireless mic / audio link receivers with “diversity” reception. The case is made of the same materials and thickness as name brand heavy duty travel cases. Excellent electronics.
I just obtained this unit (New, demo unit) but own 2 Traveler TV10s also. I bought those heavily used from an AV Rental company. After cleanup and minor servicing, these 8 year old rental units perform flawlessly. The quality of the Galaxy Audio Traveler TV Line matches the best of the “High End” companies, but no one has the wireless flexibility that Galaxy Audio has. To top it off, these things are bulletproof1
Modules can be easily added by anyone who has the slightest experience with electronic devices, such as adding expansion cards to computers. Galaxy Audio’s Tech Support department is world class, very friendly and very helpful!
Microphones and receivers in the Galaxy Audio Traveler Line retain their channel settings when powered down, making deployment after setting the frequencies almost instantaneous. Between the built in SLA batteries, wireless mics and wireless Audio Link, multiple traveler PA Units can be set up immediately in both indoor and outdoor venues with nothing to trip over.
