Protesters Rally Using the Mity-Meg Bullhorn

Protesters gathered last week to speak out against the findings of Lake County State's Attorney Mike Nerheim, clearing a Zion police officer of a teenager's fatal shooting.

17-year-old Justus Howell of Waukegan IL was fatally wounded by a Zion police officer after a foot chase that ended with Howell being shot twice in the back.

Police said moments before the chase that the teenager had been involved in a scuffle while trying to steal a handgun during a street sale.

Nerheim said the teen, was armed and turning toward officers with his weapon when he was shot and killed. The officer who shot Howell is a nine-year veteran who has been placed on administrative leave.

Protesters have peacefully gathered since the April 4th fatal shooting and have held marches and demonstrations through the streets of Zion, rallying at the police headquarters demanding "Justice for Justus".

Howell's shooting happened amid a wave of controversial use of force by police nationwide, followed by complaints about the rarity of criminal charges against police. Despite the lack of charges, Justus' mother, LaToya Howell, said she will continue to advocate on behalf of her late son and local youths.

"We need to stand up for them because no one else will" - LaToya Howell

Protesters use of the S602MR Mity-Meg Plus Rechargeable Megaphone gave them an effective range of up to one mile, allowing them to easily:

• Lead the march
• Direct the crowds
• Speak to the rally
• Peacefully demonstrate
• Get their message out

Parkinson's Audio Voice Solutions: Voice Booster

Ron Stelzer knows the challenges of Parkinson’s Disease all too well, a terrible ailment that sometimes makes it difficult for him to speak clearly.

Diagnosed with the neurological disorder in 2007, Stelzer has had to deal with a range of difficult symptoms, including problems with the volume and intelligibility of his speech.

Fortunately, as CFO of AmpliVox Sound Systems, Stelzer works for a company that designs products that can solve problems like his and has access to experts in the science of helping people’s voices be heard.


AmpliVox sound technicians worked with Stelzer to adapt the company’s S207 BeltBlaster Pro with an on / off handheld button that helps him mute his voice when he does not want to be heard.

The BeltBlaster Voice Booster is a lightweight, battery-powered 5 Watt sound system that gives you a strong clear voice and freedom to move while you are talking.

The unit connects to either a lapel or headset microphone, and provides sufficient sound coverage for groups of up to 75 people.


It also includes fingertip controls for volume and a handheld mute button that is easy for users to operate.

The unit’s rechargeable batteries last for up to six hours on a single charge, or can be replaced with standard AA batteries.

A weather-resistant neoprene cover protects the unit and enhances its acoustics.

“The AmpliVox BeltBlaster Voice Booster helps me project my voice much more strongly,” notes Stelzer.

“The critical feature it has is an on/off button that lets me mute my voice when I don’t want to be heard. The Voice Booster can help anyone who needs assistance being heard, for whatever reason.”

The BeltBlaster can be seen in action in this instructive video.

Baseball Field Outdoor PA: Public Address Sound System

Bring the thrill and excitement of a Major League Park to your local baseball field by adding an outdoor PA sound system to your next Little League or High School baseball game.

Enhance the enthusiasm of the crowd and the passion that our young players bring to the ballpark with the support of baseball field PA system.

Quickly transform the feel of any game, keep the fans involved and push the experience over the top for both players and spectators alike.

• Make Start and End Game Announcements
• Pre-Game National Anthem
• On-Deck Batter Walk-Up Music
• Between Innings Music
• Concession and Team Promotion Announcements
• Sponsorship Announcements
• 7th Inning Stretch Announcements
• Post-Game Tournament Award Ceremonies and Announcements

Make Start and End Game Announcements

Command the attention of everyone in the area and communicate information to the teams and crowd all at once. The use of PA system during game play allows you to make all sorts of announcements before, during and after the game such as start times, field changes, or weather forecasts.

Pre-Game National Anthem

Gets players and fans ready for a game with the singing of the National Anthem. Feature a live singer or play a pre-recorded version to ensure a consistent and quality performance.

On-Deck Batter Walk-Up Music

Playing batter walk-up music and announcing the batter's name before their plate appearance is a feature that the players will enjoy the most. Nothing gives a Little League player more of a rush than their name blaring over the loud speakers, accompanied by their favorite pump-up song. This aspect really gives a professional feel to a baseball game, and allows the announcer to have some fun as well.

Between Innings Music

Playing music while the teams change sides keeps the energy level at the ballpark high, and gets fans singing and dancing along. It also makes the players feel like big-leaguers, as they warm up in the field with the music pumping, and energizes them to get back out on the field, rather than meandering back to their positions.

Concession and Team Promotion Announcements

Having a deal on hot dogs and soda at the concessions stand? Or is a team having a fundraiser by selling candy bars? Great! Rather than relying on fans to wander by the concessions stand, a PA system lets you to spread the word quickly and efficiently, ensuring that everyone is aware of the current deals or promotions.

Sponsorship Announcements

A PA system can provide a great new source of revenue for your league as well, through sponsorship announcements. While jersey sponsorship only allow for a finite number of sponsors, the potential here is unlimited, allowing you to make as many announcements as necessary. Sponsors will be quick to jump on board, as they realize the potential for reaching the entire audience with creative, appealing announcements.

7th Inning Stretch Announcements

A PA system allows for the playing of the traditional "Take Me Out To the Ball Game," as well as making any necessary updates or announcements that might arise during the course of the game.

Post-Game Tournament Award Ceremonies and Announcements

Award ceremonies simply aren't feasible without a PA system. Relying on the tournament director to shout the names of players and award recipients is a recipe disaster, and is easily fixed by the implementation of a PA system. This allows for players and coaches to be properly recognized for their efforts, without having to yell to be heard. A PA system also lets you make announcements on upcoming games or tournament schedules, making sure everyone is on the same page.


Baseball fields can be arranged with a permanent, temporary or mobile public address system and speakers.
