Sports & Outdoor in Education

Sports & Outdoor: The trusty old megaphone (loudhailer) is ideal for getting a quick message out there for all kinds of outdoor events, including sports days and evacuation drills. Battery-powered speakers offer a little nicer ‘full-range’ sound and are ideal when music needs to be played without being tethered to cables and power points.

Battery Powered Speakers for Sports & Outdoor

They’re not just excellent for outdoor events like sporting carnivals, battery-powered speakers are also handy to take away on a school camp.

Megaphones/Loudhailers

The humble megaphone is an essential item to grab when it’s time for a fire drill (hopefully you never need to endure the actual event). They’re also a staple for outdoor events such as sporting days and training. Two commonly used versions are the ‘standard’ version, where you raise the megaphone top your mouth and pull the trigger to engage the mic, or the ‘fist mic’ version, where the microphone is conveniently on a curly cord, away from the loudspeaker horn component.

Stands & Shot Bags

Outdoor events require a little more consideration when it comes to getting a speaker elevated on a stand. The ever-present threat of a gust of wind could cause something to teeter a little dangerously. Drop some shot bags over the legs of the speaker stand, and keep things safe.
 
Make sure to choose heavy-duty speaker stands, like the GS (German Standard) rated stands by Konig & Meyer.

Sports & Outdoor in Education

Outdoor messaging isn’t limited only to sporting events at school. Any announcements for the outdoor PA system (or indeed, inside classrooms) need to come through loud and clear. It doesn’t matter whether it’s as simple as letting everyone know when lunch is over, or as important as an evacuation message, intelligibility is key.
