Portable Audio Solutions To Make Life Easier On The Soccer Field
If you or members of your family participated in soccer leagues
growing up, you know the scene: hundreds of kids of varying skill-sets and
levels playing soccer across a half dozen fields. It's a sport that has
risen in popularity among children in the United States over the last two
decades, which has prompted parents, park districts, and others to organize and
run seasonal soccer leagues.
Most of the time, the day’s worth of soccer games happens without
a hitch. But there is a challenge for those in charge of managing these
leagues. How do you communicate with so many people spread across such a great
distance at a moment's notice? Click the "read more" button below for the answer.

Preparation Saves Lives - How to Plan for Emergencies

Emergency situations require reliable communication channels between safety marshals and groups of moving – and sometimes panicky – people.
When emergency situations arise, rest assured that you have the equipment to provide students and personnel with clear instructions regarding safety procedures, exits, and timely updates. Safety of all individuals involved in a dangerous situation hinges on clear communication.
Megaphones
Be sure your facility has equipment such as megaphones, with reliable and rechargeable batteries, that are easily accessible.Megaphones are available in many sizes – some small enough to fold and store in compact locations, like desk drawers or file cabinets.
The Mini-Meg (S600) is AmpliVox’s smallest and most compact megaphone and is perfect for indoor communication up to 100 yards. One Mini-Meg per building hallway gives personnel quick access and the ability to make important announcements in the event of a crisis situation – especially when evacuation procedures are required.
When large groups of people congregate, sometimes a more powerful communication method is necessary for safety and organization. The “Hailer Family” includes portable amplifiers and radios that project sound from ½ mile to 1 mile.
Half-Mile Hailer
The Half-Mile Hailer features an amplifier with a built-in wireless 16 channel UHF receiver and a piercing siren, effective for groups of up to 5,000 people. Durable and portable, this Hailer allows freedom of movement – essential in an emergency situation.
Since crisis situations do not wait for good weather, all hailer horns are weather resistant. The “All-Weather Hailer PA System” adds additional protection with a weather-resistant case that contains the amplifier for excessively wet, snowy, and otherwise extreme conditions. For communication up to one mile, the “Radio Hailer” combines an amplifier with built-in 16 channel UHF receiver, 2 Murs radios, and a powerful siren feature. Kits that bundle the Hailers and radios with tripods and carrying cases introduce additional convenience and versatility to the Hailer system.

Budget for and insist upon funds to create a safe and organized environment when emergencies arise. Your community will benefit from your preparedness.
The safety experts at AmpliVox are available to work with you to determine your needs and custom-tailor an emergency system within your budget that will provide peace of mind for you and those that depend upon you.

You
might remember our announcement last year about our new partnership
with audio-visual furniture developer AVTEQ, Inc.

Our partnership has proven fruitful so far, as our speakers and AVTEQ’s LCD/Plasma videoconferencing carts look like a match made in audio-visual heaven. To prove it, we thought we would share a couple product spec sheets that provide both a great look at the technology, as well as a breakdown of the options and accessories available for purchase.
