Enhancing Fourth of July Celebrations with Superior Audio Solutions




As the Fourth of July draws near, communities across the country are gearing up to celebrate the birth of our nation with all the pomp and pageantry it deserves.

Among the grand fireworks, barbecues, and parades, one element plays a crucial role in making these celebrations a success: high-quality, reliable sound systems.



Enter AmpliVox, a pioneer in sound equipment and presentation furniture, dedicated to enhancing your Independence Day festivities with its state-of-the-art products.

AmpliVox's commitment extends beyond facilitating excellent sound in indoor settings. Our products have proven to be invaluable assets in outdoor environments as well.

The AmpliVox Sound Cruiser Car PA System, for example, is a favorite among local police departments during Fourth of July parades. It broadcasts music and official announcements over a wide area, ensuring that the crowd is not only entertained but also well-informed.

Its ease of installation and compatibility with external devices like smartphones make it a go-to choice for events that require a powerful and versatile sound system.

In Mikana, Wisconsin, the "Biggest Little Fourth of July Parade" faced a perennial challenge with their sound system. Many attendees complained about the lack of clear audio during the event.

However, with the help of AmpliVox, they implemented a sound system consisting of two Half-Mile Hailer Systems, additional speakers for each Hailer unit, and two wireless microphones.




The result? For the first time in over 30 years, everyone could hear what was happening, and there were no complaints about the sound.

In the spirit of Independence Day, AmpliVox's dedication to "Made in America" quality, reliability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal has solidified its position as a leader in the sound equipment and presentation furniture industry.





So, as you plan your Fourth of July celebrations, remember that AmpliVox is here to ensure your event sounds as good as it looks!
