Hello,
I got a boom second hand and want to use it on my bike. It'll be fixed on the bike ... It shall be powered by a battery...
Is car voltage ok i.e 12 to 14.4V ?
Or does it need 12VDC flat?
Can the boom be used as an amplifier for say an iPhone via analogue in? Do I need Logitech Media Server for that?
Thanks
Jeronimo

p.s. Seems like an odd choice as almost all the primary functions of the Boom will require you to be connected to the internet or a local network at least. Yes, you can use it as speakers/amp with an iphone attached, but it seems there would be better (and smaller) options.Location 1: VortexBox Appliance 6TB (2.2) > LMS 7.7.2 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet)

Are you riding a tandem? Might help the high power consumption if feeding
through a dynamo :-)
