Help please. We have a PA speaker system we use for events in work but it is only as portable as the length of the extension cable! How can I use this in the middle of a field? Can I buy a portable power supply and if so what wattage conversion would I need for say 800 watts speaker system. Or would I need a power invertor to a leisure battery? Again what size?
Welcome to the forum!
Talking about length, that's a mighty long thread title! 😉
Details of your PA speaker system (make and model) would be helpful in determining its average current draw ("800 watts speaker system" is not particularly meaningful in this context.)

😂 I thought that was where I put description at first.
We have this one

Batteries will run out, so a generator would be better.
Seems like at least 100W to 200W is needed.

According to the data sheet, "dynamic output power" is 200+200 W = 400 W, so total max power consumption is at most 600 W. You need a 600 W power generator.
I've extracted the relevant information from your link for easy reference:
- Dynamic: 400W (200W + 200W)
- Continuous: 360W (180W + 180W)
- Power Requirements: 100V - 240V, 50Hz/60Hz
- Power Consumption:
- Idle: 30W
- 1/8 Power: 70W
Before you start shopping for power supplies it may be worth taking an energy monitor to a few events to see what the actual consumption is.

From Yamaha Stagepass 400 page:
- so possible 70*8=560W maximum consumption, full blast.
After all, you will use it : "in the middle of a field" and that means high power.
As mentioned above, batteries won´t last long, it is very common to use a small gasoline generator.
