What Makes the Q-Audio FreeStage6 Special?

The FreeStage6 combines the functionality of a compact PA speaker, small mixer and portable playback system in one enclosure. Its first two channels feature XLR/6.35mm combination inputs with selectable microphone, line and guitar modes, allowing microphones, instruments and other audio sources to connect directly without requiring a separate mixer. Independent level controls, reverb and two-band EQ also provide useful control over connected sources.

Its internal rechargeable battery makes the FreeStage6 particularly useful when mains power is inconvenient or unavailable. Add Bluetooth streaming, USB media playback, TWS stereo linking, a balanced line output and USB-C device charging, and it becomes an extremely versatile solution for portable performances, presentations and general sound reinforcement.

Who Is It For?

Singer-Songwriters & Acoustic Performers

Connect a vocal microphone and guitar directly to the FreeStage6 and create a compact performance system without needing an external mixer. Independent reverb and EQ controls provide simple sound shaping for each input.

Presenters & Public Speakers

Battery operation, microphone connectivity and straightforward controls make the FreeStage6 well suited to talks, presentations, demonstrations, meetings and community events.

Fitness & Dance Instructors

Bluetooth playback and rechargeable operation make it easy to move the FreeStage6 between studios, halls and temporary spaces without needing complicated cabling.

Schools & Educational Environments

The combination of microphone, line, Bluetooth and USB playback options allows one portable speaker to accommodate a wide range of classroom, assembly and performance requirements.

Mobile Performers & Buskers

At approximately 6.6kg, the FreeStage6 is considerably easier to transport than many conventional PA systems while still providing dedicated microphone and instrument connectivity.

Small Events & Functions

Use the FreeStage6 for background music, announcements, speeches and lower-scale entertainment without setting up a traditional separate mixer, amplifier and speaker system.

Why Choose a Battery Powered PA Speaker?

Battery powered PA speakers provide far greater freedom over where a sound system can be positioned. Instead of planning your setup around available mains sockets and extension leads, a rechargeable PA can operate independently in locations where access to power is limited.

The FreeStage6 also offers significantly more flexibility than a conventional portable Bluetooth speaker. Its dedicated microphone and instrument inputs, mixer controls, reverb, EQ and professional audio connections mean it can handle live performance and speech as well as recorded music.

Connectivity & Mixing

The FreeStage6 features an integrated 3-channel mixer designed to accommodate multiple audio sources.

Channels 1 and 2 each provide an XLR/6.35mm combination socket with selectable:

• Microphone sensitivity
• Line-level sensitivity
• Guitar sensitivity

Each channel also includes independent:

• Level control
• Reverb
• Low-frequency EQ
• High-frequency EQ
• Signal indication

This makes it possible to connect combinations such as a microphone and acoustic guitar, two microphones or other compatible instrument and line-level sources directly to the speaker.

Channel 3 handles media and additional playback sources, including Bluetooth, USB and wired audio connections.

Bluetooth & USB Playback

Bluetooth connectivity allows compatible smartphones, tablets and computers to stream music wirelessly to the FreeStage6.

An integrated USB media player provides another convenient playback option for compatible stored audio files, with dedicated playback controls located directly on the speaker.

This makes the FreeStage6 particularly useful for:

• Backing tracks
• Interval music
• Fitness classes
• Dance sessions
• Presentations
• Background music
• Parties
• Rehearsals

Rechargeable Battery Operation

The FreeStage6 contains an internal 12V / 6Ah rechargeable battery, allowing it to operate away from mains electricity.

A battery level indicator helps monitor remaining charge, while the speaker can also run from its standard mains connection when required.

Actual battery operating time will depend on factors including playback volume, programme material, battery condition, connected equipment and use of the USB-C charging output.

TWS Wireless Stereo Linking

The integrated TWS function allows two compatible FreeStage speakers to work together for wireless stereo Bluetooth playback.

This gives users the option of starting with one compact FreeStage6 and expanding to a two-speaker configuration where increased coverage or stereo reproduction is required.

USB-C Device Charging

A built-in USB-C 5V / 2A output can supply power to compatible portable devices.

This can be particularly useful when a smartphone or other device is being used for music playback during an event or performance.

The USB-C socket is intended as a charging output for external devices rather than the charging input for the FreeStage6 itself.
