TESTIMONIALS

Science teacher and Cheer Coach, Brandi Turnbow, at New West School in Los Angeles, California got an AN-Mini for her classroom and outdoor science camp locations. She knew she needed to speak loudly and clearly to make sure every student could hear her above ambient noise in her classroom. The "hum" of the air conditioner and the "buzz" of background noise is a challenge for every instructor. Ms. Turnbow was also concerned with the strain on her voice as the day progressed.

The Anchor Audio portable sound system AN-Mini solved the problems for Ms. Turnbow. The students in the back of her classroom could hear her instructions, but she didn't have to scream to be heard above the background noise. Industry studies show that the average grade school student does not hear about 25% of what the teacher says. The AN-Mini offers sound reinforcement to reach the back of the room and offer students the opportunity for better comprehension and retention.



The AN-Mini became the cheer squad sound system once Ms. Turnbow took it to practice. She got a soft case with a shoulder strap, slipped it on and was giving instruction to her cheer squad just as easily as she used it in the classroom.

An interview with Brandi Turnbow

How did you use your Anchor Audio portable sound system?
I am a science teacher and a cheerleading coach. I used the AN-Mini sound system during outdoor science labs and during cheerleading practice. The cheerleading squad also used the sound system during rallies and games.

What types of applications can the AN-Mini be used?
The AN-Mini sound system can be used for any event that requires your voice to be amplified. All the teachers who saw the AN-Mini wanted one for themselves whether for the classroom or gathering in the auditorium.

Did it solve any problems?
The AN-Mini sound system saved my voice. As a teacher and coach I often have to raise my voice above students working in groups, or cheerleaders chanting and cheering. The sound system amplified my voice loud enough that students and cheerleaders could hear me right away and were able to get my directions loud and clear. During rallies the cheerleaders were able to communicate with the crowd and each other using the AN-Mini sound system with less effort and greater success.

Was it easy to use?
The AN-Mini sound system was so easy to use. The interchangeable microphones take seconds to switch over. It's easy, you just plug in the microphone or the transmitter, turn up the volume, and you're ready to go. The carrying case is so light and unobtrusive, it's like it's not even there.

Would you recommend Anchor Audio to other people? Who?
The AN-Mini is so versatile it could be used in many different venues. Definitely a must for coaches of any type, PE teachers, camp counselors, lecturers, college professors, large business presentations...the sky is the limit.

The AN-Mini is available in red, blue, clear, yellow or black so it can line up with most school colors. The traveling soft case is available in blue, black or red. It is available with a wired microphone or wireless hands free microphone that transmits from a distance of 250' from the sound system itself. Weighing in at 3 pounds and operating on rechargeable or alkaline batteries, the AN-Mini can be used for any campus activity for crowds up to 100 people.

    • The AnchorMAN has been a perfect fit. I love the feel of it. It fits right on my belt clip, and it is very easy for my students and I to use. I like the fact that it is portable because we are not always in the same place when we perform.

  • Beacon

    • The portability and ease of setup are unmatched by any other product that I have ever used. I can literally roll it in to an event and have sound within a few moments. The battery power is great when you are in a location where power is not available. I really like the lights that let you know the battery status. When I am in the field and I see the green light letting me know that the battery is full I don't have to worry that the system will shutdown in the middle of an event! I like the fact that the microphones are useable by all the Anchor Audio products. We can use the same microphone for the Beacon as well as our Liberty's and Xtreme's. The inputs and outputs are versatile and support anything that I have ever needed to plug in. I can use the cord that is attached to the CD player and plug that into my iPod for playback of music. I also very regularly hook in a media breakout box for the local television news and radio stations to record their audio from. I have received many positive comments from the local news media on the quality of the sound.

  • Liberty

    • I purchased a Liberty sound system from Anchor Audio after my Chain of Command saw the Liberty being used by another squadron in Qatar in the Persian Gulf. It stood head and shoulders above the system we were using at the time. Jealousy, plain and simple, was the motive for the purchase. Simply put, we have to have the best. We use the Liberty in an airplane hangar for large crowds, and the people in the back of crowd can hear every word.

    • Since 1996 Morelli Ministries Int'l began a vision to plant worldwide 1,000 teams for remote evangelism. We equip these teams with the Mega-Vox portable sound system from Anchor Audio. I have placed these systems throughout Tanzania, Cameroon, Chad, Rwanda, Haiti and India. The systems are light weight, powerful, durable and work very effectively in public gospel outreaches. I did lots of research and found the Mega-Vox to be the best sound system for the best price. You can hear the sound clearly for more than 1/4 of a mile from the source. Their customer service and product delivery is also excellent.
