Common hand-held microphones, when used with loud acoustic hailing devices or public address systems, frequently cause feedback to occur when a live mic is placed too close to the speaker. Potential equipment damage and temporary hearing loss can occur. To overcome these problems, many audio systems will purposely reduce the volume, consequently reducing the communication range.

The innovative HyperSpikeTM Record / Play Microphone raises the bar for operator safety and long communication range. With a straightforward push of a button, a message is recorded in the microphone. The large button in the middle of the microphone triggers the playback of the custom message through the acoustic hailing device - without feedback and at maximum volume.

Additionally, the typical "live mic" function is available for traditional applications. With the new R/P microphone, HyperSpike Acoustic Hailing systems outperform the competition while protecting personnel.

RECORD - up to a 60 second message is recorded while the easily identified, white Record button is depressed

PLAY - located in the center of the microphone, the over-sized Play button will broadcast the custom message to the acoustic hailing device when depressed. To repeat the same message, press the button again.
