Somebody was suggesting that doing small outdoor events might be possible later in the summer and was wondering if there was any way of streaming the audio so people could maintain a significant distance from each other and the performer (and maybe even listening in their cars like at a drive-in movie?) I've been thinking about it and not sure what you'd need to make it work. I suspect Bluetooth is too local to be much help. Some kind of streaming over wifi or mobile signal maybe? Could that be done roughly in sync with the performance or would there be a real lag? Any thoughts?

You can link multiple units with WiFi. They might even do a rental deal on them?
I've got a couple and one of the subs which is excellent. I've even mic'd up my little champ and run the sub as an extension to give more low end when I want it. They're super versatile, built like tanks and sound brilliant
At 40 watts each they're really loud to.
I've done house parties with my set up too.
They link with Bluetooth together. With the newer ones you can have as many as you want. Each device has a sender and receiver so you just keep on linking them up and easily far enough for social distancing. I'd say they'd be a really good solution.
They also link with with cable too.
I've had three subs and 4 minirigs connected which was mega, I've even used them for jams through a preamp! There's some funny videos with people linking loads up in parks etc.
They're the real deal and battery last ages too. On full volume you can easily get 7 hours out of them.
I think if you called them up and let them know what you trying to do they'd be really helpful. They were originally an idea that came from the speakerplans forum which is basically a fretboard for people that are into PA rigs.
I think they're great! Would interesting to see if you could rent some off them to. Be interesting to see what you end up doing with them!

We already gigged a silent stage (no back line) other than the drum kit, so our drummer just brought along his Roland kit.

AM/FM has no security in that respect. Hiring the equipment isn't that expensive I believe and a broadcast licence for an evening is just a matter of filing forms and paying a fee
Just a thought and you could reach all over the world with that.
The professional drive in productions are using short range FM to car stereos (needs a license and a transmitter) or an adequately sized outdoor PA.
The issue with silent disco and similar tech is that you then have to manage the distribution and collection of hardware to every attendee and the hygiene complications that now come with that.
