<p class="MsoNormal">Roland Cube amps have a small lunchbox size unit that you can plug a microphone or guitar into and, use batteries (or AC adapter). It does a good job on guitar playing. And with an adapter that goes from XLR to 1/4" jack, a person could
plug in a microphone using a small cable.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone recommend a certain brand for a portable amplification system? These are the ones people usually use for small presentations. I have a student who can only whisper.
He is straining himself trying to be heard in large classrooms. I’ve tried an app on the phone as a mic with a bluetooth speaker but there is too much feedback for him to keep the speaker near him.
