Fran, you really need to learn Ohm' Law. That's why I posted the link to the calculator - it makes it a lot easier for those with little or no electronics expertise. Maybe you should take the time to learn a bit about those AA batteries as well.

Primary (non-rechargeable) zinc–carbon (dry cell) AA batteries have around 400–900 milliamp-hours capacity, with measured capacity highly dependent on test conditions, duty cycle, and cut-off voltage. Zinc–carbon batteries are usually marketed as "general purpose" batteries. Zinc-chloride batteries store around 1000 to 1500 mAh are often sold as "heavy duty" or "super heavy duty". Alkaline batteries from 1700 mAh to 3000 mAh cost a little more than zinc-chloride batteries, but last proportionally longer.

Now, look at the specs, Fran. The TOTAL current draw is 410-mA, which at 12-volts-DC translates to 4.92-watts - THAT'S IT! Did you take the time to use the calculator? Did you happen to notice that in the spec sheet put out by Roland they never mentioned wattage?

If you use the calculator and input the figures for AA batteries, which in this case is a series connection, you're not going to get a lot of wattage before the battery voltage falls below a usable level, and that's if you use the best batteries available.

Sorry Caass, sometimes I get a bit upset when someone makes totally irrational statements about electronic gear then try to back it up with crapola.

I need to get away from this place for a while,

Gary cool

I just find the Bose Compact smoother sounding and much more powerfull. But I'm glad a have the BA 330 too. Perfect for low volume in and out gigs. With the effects, and four channels, lite weight, what's not to love? smile

Come on Gary..when you are wrong ..you are wrong... smile
Everything I stated is 100 percent fact...I proved it over and over..How can you dispute the batteries (rechargable) last over 10 hours...far more than the minute at most you said it would.. smile

No crapola here... shocked

R and R may be in order for you.. wink

Hey guys why don't you both get a pair of QSC K-8 speakers and use those they blow all the stuff you guys are talking about away under 20lbs small in size and can do just about any room with 2 of them 1000 wt the best speaker on the market.

How do the wav k8 stack up against the Bose compacts?

So, how does the Roland BA330 stack up to the HK Nano's?

I'd say pretty darn close sound wise, headphone ....
just a bit different in versatility & design. Both excellent for stereo applications for smaller gigs 25-95 pp. Both very easy to transport. BA330 has EFX also.

What is it that you don't like about the sound on the BA330.... ??????

Lots of good points but one really bad one

Great mixer, speaker layout, size, weight, stereo link, built well, BUT NO GUTS !!!!!! As I said before if they put in a good stereo class D amp and I would buy two tomorrow
