I came across a portable amp when Maru visited the UK a few years ago. I got a link from him for an amp module which was what they used though it was soldered and customised with casing over the module itself. It ran on 4 C or D Batteries and powered two average speaks which was loud enough for playing on the street.


I don't have a better picture of this I unfortunately lost the file though might have it stored somewhere. It looks like this.


How it looks with two Gameboys ran though a portable mixer and a portable amp

Though the amp module was only available to purchase in Japan and the site no longer exists. I went into an electronic store to talk about it and they said what I was looking for was called an Amp Module. I did some research and found some alternatives for a portable amp:-


Digitech  - 2 x 15 Watt RMS Portable Stereo Amplifier (8 AA Batteries) - http://www.jaycar.co.nz/productView.asp … TID=1009#4

This portable amp is stereo though only has one 3.5mm stereo input as opposed to two phono for input. It's 15watts and can be powered by 8 AA Batteries.

Does anyone else know about Portable amp modules like these? They're ideal for carrying around and light weight compared to car batteries or other amplification.

Not exactly directly related to the OP, but I figured I'd throw these links in here:
