PikiP Booth

The PikiP Booth is a fully solar-powered sound system designed and produced in Paris, capable of powering a 500-person dance floor with zero grid connection. It combines horn-loaded acoustics, birch plywood construction, and integrated photovoltaic power for a self-sufficient, event-grade audio setup.

The Origin

The PikiP Booth was built by the French company Pikip Solar Speakers, born from the need for high-quality acoustic material that could match the demands of the event industry without depending on the grid. Every unit is designed and produced in Paris, with a build time of 30 to 60 days per system.

The core idea: bring a full DJ booth's audio and power infrastructure into a single autonomous object, ready to run day or night, on-site or off-grid.

Materials

The enclosure is built from birch plywood, fully horn-loaded with a bass reflex design that pushes SPL up to 132 dB at 1 meter. The photovoltaic panels, converter, regulator, and battery are all made in the E.U., and the whole system is engineered for repeated tour use in outdoor conditions.

Performance

Front-of-house handles 2540 W of power through two 15 inch neodymium high-output drivers, a 2 inch compression driver, and four 1 inch bullets. The return section carries an additional 330 W for DJ monitoring. Frequency response spans 40 Hz to 20,000 Hz (plus or minus 6 dB), driven by a three-channel Class D amplifier with Green Audio Power Technology. Connectivity includes XLR analog input, SPEAKON output, and Bluetooth for iOS and Android sources. Four acoustic presets ship out of the box, and the system is configurable via SIGMA STUDIO.

The power side runs on a 330 Wc photovoltaic supply backed by a battery pack rated for 20 hours of autonomy without sun, plus AC input at 110V or 230V for hybrid setups.
