Anchor Audio's New BEACON TM Portable PA System — A Complete, Public Address and Music System in One Compact Package

To fill the need for a highly portable, yet powerful, public address and music system in one inclusive package, Anchor Audio, Inc. - an industry leader in state-of-the-art audio systems -introduces the BEACON TM, a new, fully-featured sound system within a completely self-contained, durable enclosure that brings hi-fidelity sound quality to any remote location. An array of 11 powerful speakers (8 midrange and 3 bass), a 300-Watt (AC) amplifier and mixer, a battery capable of delivering 60 Watts, and the ability to accommodate two wireless microphones or optional CD player rounds out this complete, go-anywhere portable PA system.

"The BEACON fills the need for a portable public address system, that also plays music and doesn't require an audio engineer to operate," says David Jacobs, CEO and President of Anchor Audio. "With 'plug and play' design, you simply roll it into place, open it up, and start broadcasting high-quality sound with enough power to fill an auditorium or small stadium."

Placing portability first, the BEACON portable PA system resides within a durable, airtight, sealed and lockable enclosure that affords maximum mobility via built-in rollers and a retractable extension handle. The patented case snaps open to reveal an array of eight midrange speakers mounted on an expandable housing that deploys to stand six feet tall, thus eliminating the need for a separate speaker stand.

A built-in amplifier supplies 300 Watts of power on AC, enough to cover a football field with crystal clear sound. The BEACON public address system also includes a 110/220 VAC converter, making it possible to travel the world without worrying about power conversion. The rechargeable, on-board DC battery packs 60 Watts of power for 4-6 hours, providing maximum flexibility for setting up a portable PA system wherever needed.

Applications for this portable public address system include: field sporting events, county fairs, outdoor concerts, hotel banquet rooms, a school auditorium, pool side, a rally, the theater, corporate meeting rooms, dance halls, on the steps of city hall, church functions, transit centers, weddings, and even emergency situations such as a shelter or near a disaster area.

"Whether you are a classroom teacher, sports coach, theater manager, banquet director, church leader, parks and recreation director, minister, city official, emergency crowd-control officer, corporate communications executive, union officer, or concert promoter, the BEACON portable PA system can get your program or message out with little fuss," says Jacobs.

Two universal input jacks add to the BEACON's capability as a public address system. An active distortion limiter permits maximum volume, and an internal dynamic equalizer enables smooth frequency response and cleaner voice projection. Additionally, a "voice over" function can automatically lower the music volume when a microphone is activated, allowing clearer speech projection.
