LD Systems ANNY 8 Backpack

The backpack is great, but I think it's somewhat overpriced and I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't included for free in a promo.

What's great is that one side opens up and lets you play the speaker while in the backpack, so you can play it while carrying it.

There are two issues with the backpack that, if fixed, would make it worth the price.

1. You can aim it forward or back if you're carrying it on your shoulder. But if you carry it on your back, it only plays to the left side. There's no way to aim it to the rear or to the right when carrying it on your back.

So it doesn't really work as a speaker for a group on a long trip, whether it's for a group of kids, for sightseeing or pilgrimage.

2. You need low profile angled patch connectors. A zipper pocket (or a small pouch) where the connectors are would be very handy, or the manufacturer could include a set of extension patch cords with the backpack.

3. The controls are unavailable. Again, a zipper pocket would fix this problem
