5. Hospitality Businesses Make a Great Impression with AmpliVox Lecterns

S1697 2.4 GHz Wireless Microphone Guides the Front Line Trolley Tours at the National Naval Aviation Museum




When the tour guides from the National Naval Aviation Museum were looking for a new headset microphone to use on their Flight Line Trolley Tours, they tested and fell in love with the AmpliVox S1697 2.4 GHz Universal Digital Wireless Microphone Headset.

Hank Martin, a trolley driver and tour guide was so pleased with his observations of the S1697 that he wrote back to us and said:



"During this past week, on different days, six trolley drivers used the S1697 wireless headset during a fifty-minute flight line tour on our 35 passenger trolley.

We spoke continuously using the headset.

The headset was plugged in to the trolley existing radio shack 40-watt amplifier that is connected to two typical small box speakers located overhead.


Total time that the 1697 was "on" is five and a half hours. The blue charge lights are still on! Could probably go several more tours. Every driver was impressed with the S1697 capability!

Following are individual comments regarding the headset:
  • 'sounds like a stereo system in the trolley'
  • 'clarity is outstanding'
  • 'no static feedback'
  • 'walk around capability is super'
  • 'no interference while trolley heaters, fan or air conditioning systems were operating'
  • 'love the wireless, hands free operation'
  • 'makes driving around the aircraft much safer'
  • 'headset is amazingly comfortable to wear - even under my hat'
bottom line... we all want one! "



The AmpliVox S1697 is an easy to use and affordable Universal digital wireless headset microphone system.

Its compact and lightweight design is a great solution for expanding your audio needs.

Plug receiver into any audio device (microphone / line in jack ) with a speaker and amplifier and start talking.
