The USS Midway Museum is a historical naval aircraft carrier museum located in downtown San Diego, California. The museum is housed on the USS Midway aircraft carrier, which was commissioned as the largest ship in the world in 1945 and is now home to an extensive collection of aircraft, many of which were built in Southern California.
The museum offers exhibits on various decks of the aircraft carrier, guided tours, educational programs, overnight experiences, and other live public and private events.
Tina Chin, the Education Director at USS Midway Museum, expressed her appreciation of Anchor Audio systems on board the Midway and shared a photo of one of the museum educators using the Mini speaker along with a wireless collar microphone while addressing a group of students. Tina highlighted the usefulness of the soft carrying bag with the Mini speak, saying it allows the museum to offer guided tours in crowded and noisy environments, giving tour guides an extra boost of volume to their voices so that nobody misses out.
For their guided tours, the USS Midway Museum uses the Anchor Audio Mini portable PA system, in part because it is a lightweight and compact PA solution. Many of the museum's programs are volunteer-led, and volunteers come in all ages and sizes. For these tours, the Museum needed a solution that was both portable and practical. The Mini fit the bill. The Mini weighs only 2.5 lbs, making it easy to carry and use by everyone. The Mini can be powered by AC or batteries, providing the flexibility to use it indoors and on the flight deck.
With the ability to last 10-12 hours on a full charge, the Mini delivers clear and loud sound. The system allows you to link up to two wireless microphones and one wired microphone, offering versatility in communication options.
The Mini also has Bluetooth connectivity, enabling tour guides to stream music or other audio content wirelessly from compatible devices. This functionality enhances the educational experience by providing engaging audio resources for presentations and interactive sessions.
The Anchor Audio Mini is a practical and reliable audio solution for museum educators like Tina Chin at the USS Midway Museum, enhancing visitor engagement during educational sessions and tours.
