1. Half-Mile Hailer Family

The Wireless Half Mile Hailer we purchased from you was used on October 4, 2006 to end a 14 hour standoff between a 56-year-old man holding a 4-year-old boy Hostage in Texas. The hailer was deployed by SWAT teams next to the house of the standoff. I was able to communicate through the hailer using the wireless microphone from 700 or more feet away.

Negotiators tried for ten hours prior to the hailer's deployment to get the suspect to answer a throw phone deployed in the house. It was only after we deployed the Half Mile Hailer did we get a response. The Hailer was used to get the suspect to communicate by flashing lights from the house, back to me while I made contact. I used the hailer to prepare the suspect for a second throw phone which was deployed in a different location from the first one. The suspect picked it up and spoke with me resulting in a surrender and release of a hostage 4 hours later.

If it wasn't for the clarity, wireless application and functionality of the Wireless Hailer, I'm not sure this incident would have ended as soon as it did. We're placing an order for more equipment this week. Thank you.

Thanks for the great equipment you build and make available to us. I was able to purchase a Half-Mile Hailer around 1982 for the purpose of proclaiming the gospel in the streets of America and foreign field.

It is the greatest mega...PA...horn system available. I have been around the country with street preachers and used a lot of different types of PAs. However the Half-Mile Hailer is the clearest and loudest, if needed, I have ever used. I know for a fact I have been heard clearly preaching the Gospel 3 blocks away. A great bullhorn for many events but I use it to preach.

I received the SW630 Wireless Half-Mile Hailer Kit) yesterday afternoon…just before our weekly BMX (bicycle motocross) race. I literally tore open the shipping box, pulled out the big black case, and drove to the store for batteries. Once at the BMX track, my 14 year old son and I took everything out of the bag and had it set up in a very short time. A little tweaking of the volume knob and I was ready to announce our race! The wireless mic was a real plus. I was able to make announcements from all pints on the track and the sound quality was superb. This was in spite of the fact that I forgot to plug in the wireless receiver antenna!. In sum, we are very happy with the SW630 and it is the perfect PA for our needs.

The half miler hailer we received from AmpliVox for use in our race series will quickly become an indispensable piece of equipment for us. Easy and quick to assemble, we were able to move and use it in several areas of our race with no difficulty. The sound quality was excellent with no distortion. Having a sound system of this quality definitely enhanced the day for us and our participants.

New York Road Runners has recently purchased both bullhorns and the new “Half-Mile Hailer” from AmpliVox. We find their equipment to be of superior quality, and AmpliVox to be a professionally run organization, able to meet our equipment needs on a timely basis. Adding the new “Half Miler Hailer” to our arsenal of sound projection equipment proved to be a major success. The Half Mile Mailer is a very powerful and clear system, and shows no appreciable deterioration of sound quality when used in the proper settings. This is an amazing piece of equipments and essential for any situation that requires crowd control. We highly recommend the Half Miler Hailer.

POWER AND GLORY
Talking the walk

From the fatigued expression on this man's face, he must have been in that position for long.

Yet from the relaxed look on the face of the turbaned man, he wasn't about to conclude his talk.

The young man bore it all, shouldering a public address system to allow the community elder to address villagers on how to protect Karima hill forest near Othaya town during this year's Labour Day celebrations.

Most of the forest has been destroyed by illegal loggers, we are told, and the villagers later planted indigenous trees to mark Labour Day.

I have used the Audio Buddy in a variety of room conditions and it has always come through with flying colors. The unit allows me to project my voice and sound from the video projector so every one can hear clearly. Having worked both in the education and business field for a number of years, the Audio Buddy is one of the wisest investments a presenter can make for their organization.

We are very pleased with the Roving Rostrum Sound System that we use in the Physical Education/Athletic Departments at Port Chester High School. Not only has it become very popular in our department, but in other departments at the school as well. I have loaned it to our Guidance Department for their “Career Day”. I have loaned it to our Superintendent when he held a “Conference Day’ and he needed to speak to a large audience in an open pavilion outdoors, and of course, have used it for various athletic events.

We also use the Roving Rostrum in our Physical Education Department for classes in dance, educational karate, and when the elementary schools hold their “Field Day” on our athletic field.

We’ve used our AmpliVox Roving rostrum for everything from school board meetings to graduation ceremonies, to speech class. It’s the most powerful, versatile sound system we’ve ever seen in a package that small.

Lake Paradise Camping Resort
Prior to Labor Day 2003, Lake Paradise Camping Resort and other Midwest area's around here had not had any rain since early June. Lake levels at all 5 of our lakes were down. The lakes were low enough that grass had begun to grow on the newly revealed lake shores. Large cracks were visible in the earth around the resort as well. Our resort had many Labor Day Weekend activities planned. Campers began arriving the weekend before. Many outdoor activities were planned for Friday through Labor Day Monday. As usual, I planned to travel around the resort making the necessary announcements. Friday night it began to rain. Correctly stated it poured. It was necessary to relocate activities and notify the campers. This rain was going to be a true gully washer. Perhaps you read or saw on the news about the people that perished in high water here in the Kansas City area. That was our rain storm. It rained continuously for 40 hours in varying amounts. When it became imperative to alert our campers of the flood warnings and the developing hazards the only way we had was to use the Sound Cruiser public address system. Lives and property may have been spared because of the alert. Some of the campers sheltering in their RV's had no idea of the rising waters. All five lakes were full and overflowing. Our swimming pool which is built out into our large lake was swamped. I relate this event because an integral part of our warning was the Sound Cruiser public address system. The were no lives lost and property damage was minimal. Sadly, our biggest loss, due to the torrential rains, was our public address system. Our Sound Cruiser had given its all in the effort of warning the campers. We sent the amplifier back to AmpliVox for repair not knowing how long it would take. I was extremely pleased with the repair service. The round trip repair time was only 7 days. Magnificent! Our amplifier was back just in time for our next big activity weekend.

Our lifeguards use the Half-Mile Hailer all along the beach. It’s much more effective than any bullhorns we’ve ever used in the past.

We use the SW222 Wireless Buddy to take new soldiers on bus tours of Washington, DC. We love the fact that the tour guide can set it down on a seat and talk and everyone on the bus can hear.

On Labor Day our area experienced fierce winds that devastated the Church. Yet on the following Sunday, when all we could use was our gym for services, we were able to have the liturgy using our AmpliVox portable sound system with batteries.

9. Hotels/Restaurants

Carlos Ramirez

Our restaurant has two banquet rooms, so we needed a powerful, great looking lectern that could move easily between the rooms. The Presidential Plus always looks good, no matter how many times it is moved. I’m sure it’s the wood laminate finish. Plus, it’s so easy to move around on casters. The sound is great!

That’s when (customer service) came through!… {S}he steered me towards the Wireless Buddy, which is the newer version of the briefcase I had used. She gave me a lot of information about the product, which helped me to make a decision…Then she promised she’d have it to me by Friday… The “buddy” arrived a day early, on Thursday, saved our church about $80.00 and is just perfect for our needs….I’m definitely a satisfied customer!
