"We are thrilled to receive the Silver Astor Award for the Mega Hailer, one of our most powerful and versatile sound systems for outdoor use," commented Don Roth, AmpliVox CEO.
The Mega Hailer is a wireless mobile PA system, with a 50-watt amp that broadcasts highly intelligible speech for up to half a mile. The horizontally aligned horn speaker reinforces sound, making it louder to audiences over large wide areas. The system also supports Bluetooth streaming of music from external devices, amplified with crystal clear audio quality.
The durable, battery-powered Mega Hailer unit sets up in moments, with no need for cords or external power. It travels easily with its built-in carry handle and detachable shoulder strap, ready to go at all times for public safety operations and other outdoor events. It is especially useful in emergency situations, delivering clear messages even during power outages.
