The ER-1000 hands-free megaphone: Allows your hands to do important things while you are making announcements.
TOA's ER-1000 hands-free megaphone has a whole new look and feel, combining a waist belt-fitted speaker with a headset microphone. Offering complete freedom of movement, this megaphone is the perfect tool for so many jobs, from announcing special offers on the retail sales floor to giving guided tours, issuing instructions at the factory or worksite, leading school field trips, and more.
This product features a lightweight, high-performance, 100mm-diameter cone speaker. Even in noisy outdoor environments, this megaphone will get your message across with crystal clarity. It can also be placed on a table for use in large meetings.
The ER-1000 is a compact, lightweight, hands-free portable public address system with a rated power output of 6 W (9 V DC when used with six AA-type batteries). The system can be wrapped snugly around the waist and using the supplied headset microphone allows both hands to remain free, making it ideal for such applications as conducting factory tours, directing traffic, instructing in sports facilities, and security-and-safety-related applications.
