A Cost Effective Solution to Traditional Cumbersome PA Systems

April 8, 2008 - PRLog -- On the deck of the USS George Washington, crewmen are setting up the ships PA system for the morning announcements and daily briefing. With over 120 pounds of sound equipment to lug back and forth, setup on this United States aircraft carrier is no simple task. Due to the weight and excessive amount of use, not to mention it takes 2 people 45 minutes to connect all the cables and wires, the ships PA system was rapidly deteriorating.

Enter Anchor Audio’s patented Beacon Line Array PA system. For over thirty years Anchor Audio has remained the industry leader in portable sound systems. The company enjoys an excellent reputation for fabricating rugged, versatile and lightweight equipment while remaining a cost effective solution. “The Beacon is a life saver!” says Kenneth Faulkner, a crewman upon the USS George Washington. The Beacon, a truly new system that delivers high fidelity sound within a self contained, durable enclosure with out the need for a tripod stand was the perfect solution for the Navy’s PA system needs.

Anchor Audio’s Beacon delivers 300 watts of crystal clear speech in the AC mode and 60 watts in the DC mode. It also has all the features that Anchor Audio is recognized for in the industry. The system is available with up to two built-in UHF wireless receivers and an external CD player. Each wireless receiver has 16 UHF channels. Because the UHF frequency is selectable, a simple turn of the dial on the microphone and receiver eliminates chance of interference from local broadcasting sources.

“The sound quality is superb. Everything is completely wireless and easy to use. The best part is how mobile it is. It folds to the size of a suitcase,” says Kenneth Faulkner. The Beacon is truly flexible and AC/DC operational, which allows use of an AC power source should the battery supply be exhausted. The 110/220 power supply makes it possible to travel the world with your Beacon without worrying about power conversion.  A large capacity battery allows a battery life of four – six hours.

Kenneth Faulkner uses the Beacon almost everyday. “With our old PA system, it took us about 45 minutes to carry all of the equipment, set it up, and do a sound check. We now do it in less than 2 minutes with the Beacon system.” Maximum flexibility is achieved because the Beacon was conceived and designed with the user in mind.  In a durable case with rollers and retractable extension handle, the Beacon is easy to transport, easy to set up and easy to use.

Over the past decades Anchor Audio has grown to become one of the largest privately owned manufacturers of portable, professional sound systems in the world. Anchor Audio is a vertical manufacturer that designs, develops, and tests each product it makes at every stage of assembly in the Torrance, California factory. This explains the reputation for building the highest quality products available on the market.
