Teachers, seminar leaders, trainers, tour group leaders, and other presenters to up to fifty people often need help projecting their voices. Even talking for an extended period of time can strain the vocal cords and cause sore throats to the point of needing assistance.
Our 5-Watt VoiceSaver is a miniature PA system consisting of a lightweight headset microphone (HBM319) and an amplifier/ loudspeaker that can be belt-worn or placed on a desktop and other flat surfaces. In addition, the PA285 can be used to amplify audio from video projectors & computers to enhance presentations.
The amplifier/loudspeaker is housed in a durable ABS plastic enclosure which is shatter-resistant so it will stand up to day-in and day-out uses. It has a 1.5-inch wide belt clip on the back and a rugged steel grille on the front protecting the cone driver. The package includes an on/off switch and companion LED status indicator, as well as a volume control, a 3.5-mm microphone input, and an auxiliary input to connect with laptop computers for enhanced audio amplification.
