Elevating the Voice of Safety and Integrity: Our Support for Mary Cole

At AmpliVox Sound Systems, we've always believed in the power of clear communication. As a local small business, we've seen firsthand the importance of community, safety, and the values that bind us together.

Today, we want to use our platform to amplify a voice that resonates with our core values: Mary Cole, a candidate for Lake County State's Attorney.

Mary Cole's commitment to ensuring the safety of our community aligns perfectly with our mission.

Just as we aim to provide clear and effective communication tools, Mary seeks to bring transparency, integrity, and justice to our criminal justice system.

Her vision of a safer Lake County is one we wholeheartedly support.

Mary's personal story, growing up in Deerfield, is a testament to her deep-rooted connection to our community. Her parents chose Deerfield for its safety and quality education, values that Mary aims to uphold and enhance.

As a local business, we understand the importance of a safe environment for our families, employees, and customers. Mary's dedication to preserving and improving this safety is commendable.

Her journey through the legal landscape is both inspiring and telling of her commitment. From her early days advocating for domestic violence victims to her tenure as a public defender, she's seen the system from multiple angles. This comprehensive understanding ensures that she's not just another politician but a seasoned professional ready to make impactful changes.



Attorney Mary Cole announces bid to be Lake County State's Attorney behind an AmpliVox Flat Hardrock Maple Lectern
The current State's Attorney's office has faced criticism for its approach, which many believe is too politically motivated. Mary has been vocal about the need to depoliticize the office and focus on the core mission: justice and safety. Her insights into the current administration's shortcomings position her as a candidate who's not only aware of the problems but also equipped with solutions.

Mary's vision goes beyond just addressing the current issues. She promises to restore trust, honor, and integrity to the State's Attorney's office. Her commitment to removing politics from the equation and focusing solely on justice is a refreshing and much-needed stance. With Mary at the helm, we can expect a balanced, compassionate, and effective criminal justice system that truly serves the people.





In recent times, the State's Attorney's office has been swayed by political agendas that don't necessarily prioritize the safety and well-being of our community. Mary Cole's stance against such politicization is a breath of fresh air. Her focus on the community's best interests over political experimentation is a direction we believe in.

Election Day in November 2024 is not just a date on the calendar; it's an opportunity for us to shape the future of Lake County. We urge our fellow community members to get involved, learn more about Mary Cole, and consider supporting her vision for a safer, more secure Lake County.

In a passionate display of unity and concern, postal workers and their supporters gathered on Chicago's South Side to address a pressing issue that's been causing distress in the community. The safety of postal workers has come under threat due to an alarming rise in violent attacks on mail carriers in the city.

Organized with the aid of AmpliVox Sound Systems' megaphone, the rally served as a rallying cry for immediate action to protect these essential workers.

As the number of violent incidents against mail carriers continues to escalate, postal workers and their advocates have raised their voices in a call for attention.

The alarming trend has left workers worried for their well-being and has the potential to disrupt the regular delivery of mail services. The urgency of their plea was matched by their call for elected officials to step up their efforts in ensuring the protection of these workers who serve our communities.


AmpliVox Sound Systems played a vital role in the rally, with their powerful megaphone amplifying the voices and concerns of the workers.

Elevating Guided Tours with Portable Sound Systems

Guided tours are a popular way for people to explore new places, learn about history, culture, and local attractions. While the role of a tour guide is crucial in providing insightful information, the use of a small portable sound system can significantly enhance the tour experience.

Improved Audibility

One of the primary advantages of using a portable sound system during guided tours is improved audibility.

Especially in outdoor or crowded environments, it can be challenging for participants to hear the guide's voice clearly.

A sound system ensures that everyone in the group can hear the guide's commentary, even those at the back of the group.

Reduced Vocal Strain

Tour guides often need to project their voices for extended periods, which can lead to vocal strain and fatigue.

By using a portable sound system, guides can speak at a comfortable volume, avoiding the need to strain their vocal cords.

This not only benefits the guide's health but also ensures a consistent and energetic delivery throughout the tour.

Enhanced Engagement

A guided tour's success depends on the guide's ability to capture the audience's attention and keep them engaged.

With a portable sound system, guides can use a variety of vocal techniques, storytelling elements, and even music or sound effects to make the tour more captivating.

This dynamic approach fosters a deeper connection between participants and the tour content.

Focus on Content

Tour guides often have a wealth of knowledge to share, and a portable sound system allows them to focus more on the content itself rather than projecting their voice.

This enables guides to provide in-depth information, answer questions, and share anecdotes without the distraction of vocal strain.

As a result, participants receive a richer and more comprehensive tour experience.

Adaptability to Different Environments

Guided tours can take place in a variety of environments, from bustling city streets to serene natural settings.

A portable sound system can be easily adjusted to suit different acoustic conditions.

Whether it's managing ambient noise in a busy market or ensuring audibility in an open outdoor space, the adaptability of the sound system ensures a consistent experience across diverse settings.

Professionalism and Credibility

Using a portable sound system showcases the guide's professionalism and commitment to delivering a high-quality tour experience.

Participants perceive guides who use advanced tools as experts in their field, enhancing the tour's overall credibility.

Incorporating a small portable sound system offers a range of benefits that ultimately contribute to a more immersive, engaging experience for participants.

From improved audibility and reduced vocal strain for guides to enhanced engagement and adaptability, the advantages are clear. By embracing technology in this way, tour guides can elevate their tours and leave a lasting impression on their audiences.
