AmpliVox Supports School Safety Legislation with Emergency Communication Products




According to the National Council of State Legislatures, the period of 2017-2019 has seen state legislatures propose 1005 bills and resolutions related to school safety.


Many of the bills have provisions for emergency communication procedures for school emergencies, and AmpliVox Sound Systems supports those measures.

AmpliVox has long been a key provider of emergency sound control for schools, as well as school traffic safety.

AmpliVox exhibited many of its school emergency communications products as well as products to enhance school presentations and learning at the National Catholic Educational Association April 23-25 in Chicago.






"We realize how vital school safety has become and we are fully committed to helping educators and parents meet evolving safety procedures," said AmpliVox CEO Don Roth.

"Our many high-quality emergency communications products such as megaphones, hailers, Safety Wand Megaphone, and even a Sound Cruiser for mobile voice reinforcement help the school safety cause."


AmpliVox's large array of portable sound systems provide clear, reliable communication in all types of situations from daily school operations to emergencies, traffic control, assemblies, athletic events, to any other activity involving large groups.



Project Wireless Sound for Multiple Presenters

Emergency leadership may need to direct response teams and civilians from remote locations.

Powerful portable sound systems can provide closed communication networks to cover large areas, indoors or out, using MURS two-way radios and radio-connected hailer speakers.



Keep Megaphones on Hand for Swift Response

Megaphones pack a great deal of versatility and power into compact, portable units.

These easy-to-use sound systems are ready for action when needed, even under harsh conditions.

For clear, powerful voice projection from an easy-to-use unit weighing just 2.5 lbs.



Combine Visual Cues with Audio Support


Visibility can be greatly enhanced, even in dark or smoky situations, with simple tools like lighted traffic batons.

Useful in any traffic control or crowd management situation, the Safety Wand Megaphone is especially helpful in emergencies.



Use Vehicles As Mobile Command Stations

When covering large areas, roof-mounted sound systems on emergency vehicles provide the most mobile and effective means of communication.

Durable, powerful hailer loudspeakers can be heard for up to half a mile.

They can be attached in minutes and powered directly from the vehicle.



AmpliVox was also honored as a Silver Award Winner in the Homeland Security Awards sponsored by American Security Today magazine, as the Best Mass Notification System-Hardware.

AmpliVox Boosts YMCA Sound Quality and Fundraising Success




For its annual fundraising gala, the North Suburban YMCA in Northbrook, IL, turns to AmpliVox Sound Systems to make its auctions, presentations, and announcements intelligible to everyone.

And this year, the event was at a new venue with an acoustic challenge to overcome.


"The country club where this year’s event was held had a beautiful ballroom with a Crestron distributed house audio system," said Don Roth, AmpliVox CEO and a past YMCA board member.

"For many events, the venue’s house sound system works fine.

But the YMCA auction is a particularly noisy event with 400 people attending and multiple activities during the evening.

Intelligible sound is absolutely critical to its success.

It was decided that AmpliVox equipment would work better."



AmpliVox set up an SW925 Digital Audio Travel Partner Plus with 250 watts of power and wireless microphone.

To further enhance the sound coverage and clarity, two S1297-70 Wireless Powered Dual Speaker Kits – a total of four speakers -- were also added, with the speakers placed at key spots around the room.

In addition, the official videographer for the event was happy to be able to plug his equipment directly in an SC800 Titan Wireless Powered Companion Speaker, resulting in a direct pick-up of the audio track for his video recording with superior sound quality.

"The key is that our equipment enhanced the event’s sound without needing a house I.T. person," said Roth.

"It’s all portable and easy to set-up and use."





The effective sound clarity for the YMCA event helped the event organizers raise a total of $270,000.


"The sound system from AmpliVox was essential to our success," said Howard Schultz, President/CEO of the NSYMCA.

"Without the enhanced sound provided by AmpliVox, our presenters never would have been able to pierce the ever-present background noise heard everywhere in the room.

This year’s Strong Kids Casino Night was a tremendous success for all concerned.

Everyone enjoyed themselves, and their generosity has enabled us to meet our fundraising goals in grand style.


"We’re honored to pledge our support to the mission of raising funds and awareness to the Strong Kids Scholarship Fundraiser.".
