The Coronavirus pandemic has elevated the need for urgent communications, including audible public announcements.
AmpliVox Sound Systems, a returning competitor in the 2020 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, offers a complete line of high-quality, megaphones, horn-style hailers, and portable PA systems that can reach audiences from 10 to 7,500, indoors or out, or dispersed people currently separated by “social distancing”.
And the majority of AmpliVox products are made in the USA.

Megaphones
AmpliVox manufactures a complete line of lightweight, powerful megaphones for reaching potential audiences at distances of 50 feet to one mile.
Most feature rechargeable batteries to ensure power for repeated use, or normal alkaline batteries.
A comfortable pistol grip that can be folded for storage allows holding the megaphone for extended periods of time.
An exclusive battery indicator light feature only found on AmpliVox megaphones lets you always know the status of your battery life for safety and security.

In addition to talk, AmpliVox megaphones feature additional audible signals of whistle and siren.
Model S602MR has a detachable, corded microphone and shoulder strap for all-day use.
Model S606, the Safety Wand Megaphone, has a LED flashlight wand for crowd control and traffic direction.
Horn-Style Hailers
These AmpliVox products are built for wider disbursement of sound, higher quality sound, and extended use of up to 200 hours on batteries.
They include the renowned Half-Mile Hailer, Mega Hailer, and AirVox, all capable of projecting clear sound up to one half mile.
These products can be used with wireless microphones for freedom of movement by the person speaking, and can also be placed on tripods for extended range and semi-permanent placement in public places.
(For clearer sound from far away or in big indoor spaces get the AmpliVox AirVox. This new product series gives you outstanding audio range, up to a half mile away, sound clarity and the ability to reach very large audiences by adding a wireless companion speaker. Courtesy of AmpliVox and YouTube.)
The Mega Hailer PA System has a built-in 50-watt amplifier and built-in speaker, with exceptional speech intelligibility and tonal balance, with less volume drop-off over longer distances.
It has a built-in 96-channel wireless receiver that helps you address channel interference by systematically changing from one channel to another.
Plus, there is a Bluetooth module for connectivity to any Bluetooth device, enabling it to project music or other sounds as part of a workout or meeting.
Its rechargeable SLA batteries provide up to 10 hours of operation.
For even more sound distance and dispersion to a wider area, consider an AmpliVox product such as the SW664 Mobile Line Array, which features four horn-style speakers mounted on a tripod.
Vehicle–Mounted Sound Cruiser
Take your message to the streets with this powerful system featuring horn speakers on the vehicle roof and amplifier and microphone inside the vehicle, to broadcast clear sound up to half-mile.
The Sound Cruiser features a 50 watt amplifier and dynamic handheld microphone with 5-foot cord (a wireless microphone model is also available) and 16 channel UHF wireless receiver.
The unit can be plugged into a car’s cigarette lighter or direct-wired into a 12-volt car battery, or it will also run on 10 D-cell alkaline batteries for up to 200 hours.
The AmpliVox Sound Cruiser comes in either a 2 horn speaker or 4-horn speaker model.
Either model mounts easily to any vehicle roof.
The Sound Cruiser is perfect for use by emergency services and security personnel.
Portable Public Address Systems (PAs)
AmpliVox manufactures a broad line of portable Public Address Systems, with built-speakers and amplifiers, rechargeable batteries, and wireless microphone capability.
The units range from smaller models with a speaker and amplifier mounted on a belt – perfect for smaller groups of people separated by “social distancing,” handheld PAs, and more powerful models such as the SW925-96 Digital Audio Travel Partner Plus, featuring 250 watts of power and 96-channel wireless communication for low incidence of channel interference.
The Audio Portable Buddy (222A, 223A, 224A) is a complete presentation system built into a sleek compact carrying case that lets you reach up to 1,000 people.
The SW725 Wireless Portable Media Player PA System has an FM radio and allows you to play or record audio from a USB or SD card, or stream music with Bluetooth.
The Titan Wireless Portable PA, SW800 is a 100-watt system that lets you reach 2500 people.
