Is it loud enough for busking? The setup would be in a pedestrian zone (no car noise) and I would like it to be clearly heard from 30 feet away.

Yes. I played under a big pavillion in a public park for over 100 people and it was easily heard. I was pleasantly surprised at the loudness (and everything else about it also).

I do not know what busking is, but the amp is moderately loud. Sounds like you would probably need a powered speaker to be able to throw that distance, especially if it is windy.
1949219
yes it is loud enough for busking but 30-40 ft might the limit to hear it at good volume.

I know the Cube Street EX gets loud enough to hear from 30 feet away. I don't know about the non-EX version.

this thing is very loud I read the other answers and was surprised I mean you can hear people talking pretty clearly if they're having a loud conversation from 30 or 40 feet so this thing you can hear from hundreds of feet. I mean of course it's going to be degraded as you go farther away but the point is this man gets really loud for playing outside I mean you're not going to be able to play it at full volume unless you want to be offensive to people so this is perfect for playing out in the street the only thing is you might want to get the bigger one if you really want to rock and be able to play also like in in small venues thats thats all its a bit more expensive this thing is very loud I read the other answers and was surprised I mean you can hear people talking pretty clearly if they're having a loud conversation from 30 or 40 feet so this thing you can hear from hundreds of feet.

I use my speaker outdoors when I work out and even though i have it on the highest setting I wish it were just a tad bit louder. I think if the classroom is small it might work.

It is as loud as a .22 caliber pistol. I wear hearing protection when using the device. I would not suggest using it in an urban setting.

it could be loud enough most likely, but it is just a voice amplifier and it has a tinny sound. it works well speaking as what we got it for but not sure you would be happy singing through it

I never tested to see how loud it could get, but the louder i made it go, the worse it sounded. you should be able to hear it withinn 10-20 ft. w/o any issues; you just might not like what you hear. I purchased it for music; sports or news may be OK.

Yes. It's loud enough to play outside. I have used it for small get togethers and baroques.it works good.

It's not particularly loud. I would say you could hear voices clearly up to about 5 ft away, but after that it's hard to make out what is said. Music or sound is better. I used it for a RR crossing bell in the pocket of a Halloween costume and it was clear enough to tell what it was for 5-10 ft away.

I use it out in the yard; it is plenty loud for maybe 10 people. In fact, I have to turn it down so we can talk most of the time. If there are more than 10 people, however, I would imagine the crowd din would drown it out.

Not super loud. More like annoying. I've only heard mine up close. Haven't tried to see what it sounds like from a distance. Anybody checked to see if the sound can be heard from a distance?

I wouldn't recommend putting the volume too high especially in the library but in the bus should be fine. It's not as bad as the Beats leakage.

Well, this is a small speaker. It would be hard pressed to hear 2 rooms away. If you turned it up as far as it goes, you might hear some distortion. This speaker is best used within 30 feet or so and not turned up to max. This is just my opinion.

We use ours in an outside bar and it is plenty loud enough. Not sure if you are wanting to use this just to play a song / songs during the ceremony (which should be fine) or wanting to use it for the reception party (def will not be sufficient). If just wanting to play some background music or a special song during the ceremony it should be fine.

It's as good as you make it. Keep in mind it's a modeling amp... Customize the presets you want to use before you try them out live. Thats what practice is for... And yes, it can be as loud as drums. I have mine about 12 feet from our drummer and use it as a monitor. Haven't had the master volume up past about halfway depending on the preset.

When I used this around the home, I keep it well under the 1/4 mark and that's still very loud.When I take it outside or to the beach, I play it near max (generally a little lower so the base isn't blown out) and you can clearly hear it from a far distance. I've had dance parties on the beach and it this rocks it.While it can be used inside, it's really meant for outdoors or large areas.

I would say no. Although this speaker can get 'loud" I wouldn't consider it a good choice for DJ uses especially if used in very large rooms, or outdoors.

Not sure what you're asking... depends on how loud you want your music it should be good

I would say no. No shotgun mic is going to do a great job at that distance. It really needs to be a couple of feet away to work well. I would suggest using a lavaliere mic.
