Megaphone Information |
||
|
Megaphones and Bullhorns are basically interchangeable terms these days, but originally old-style megaphones were basically large cones that could amplify your voice, but not a great deal. These were used by cheerleaders, movie directers, drill sargeants, and police. Bullhorns were the electrically amplified models that came about later. Most of today's megaphones and bullhorns are amplified with electric power and can amplify and project your voice much more than the old-style type. When purchasing a megaphone you need to consider a few things to make the best choice. |

Factors to consider when purchasing a megaphone
Will you be using the megaphone indoors or outdoors?
Most indoor applications will not require as large a unit as an outdoor use would unless you would be in a very large indoor space such as a large auditorium or arena. For many indoor uses the Champion MP4W or the MP2W would be sufficient. If the space was large and noisy then the Champion MP12W or MP16W would be recommended. If you are outdoors in a small area that is not very noisy then the MP4W could work, but if the area has a lot of background noise such as a city street then a megaphone that is more powerful would be needed such as the MP12W or the MP16W
Will you be speaking more than a few sentences at a time?
Megaphones with batteries installed can be a bit heavy to hold up in front of your face for any extended period of time. Some of the larger units can weigh 4 lbs or more. If you will be speaking for any longer periods then you should consider the detachable mic model such as the Champion MP16W This megaphone will hang from your shoulder or it can be placed on a table or on the ground. No need to hold a big heavy unit up in front of your face when speaking, and it allows for easy eye contact with your audience.
Do you need a megaphone with the loudest possible volume?
The loudest megaphone available is the Champion MP16W. The detachable microphone allows for louder volume because the mic is separate from the speaker unit which helps to control feed-back. Feed-back squelch is a common problem with all megaphones, but it can be minimized with this detacable mic feature. The MP12W is a good choice if you need the pistol grip feature. Not quite as loud as the MP16W but still very powerful. The MP16W and the MP12W are favored by the police, military, fire departments, and factory floor needs |
