Columbia City, IN – Ultra Electronics USSI is pleased to introduce the first Record/Play Microphone to the Acoustic Hailing Device market.   Typical hand-held microphones, when used with acoustic hailing devices, frequently cause audio feedback when the live microphone is too close to the speaker, resulting in potential equipment damage and/or temporary hearing loss. To overcome these problems, audio systems will purposely decrease the volume output, consequently reducing the communication range. The HyperSpike Record/Play Microphone eliminates this problem, ensuring full communication range at maximum audio output levels.

Designed specifically for use with the HyperSpike acoustic hailing product line, the pioneering Record/Play Microphone raises the bar for operator safety and ensures maximum communication range. With a simple push of the “record” button, the spoken message up to 60 seconds is quickly recorded and stored in the hand-held microphone’s internal memory. The patented, over-sized “play” switch is easily activated to play back the message through the HyperSpike acoustic hailing device – without feedback and at maximum volume. Additionally, the traditional live microphone function is still available in the side-mounted Push-To-Talk (PTT) for conventional applications.

The MIL STD 810 and IP56 rated housing is water resistant and designed to withstand the harsh environments encountered by military and law enforcement security personnel. Compatible with all Hyperspike Acoustic Hailing systems, the HyperSpike Record/Play Microphone will become the standard microphone accessory with all HyperSpike products.

Ultra Electronics USSI is a global and innovative supplier of highly intelligible, ruggedized, long range acoustic hailing devices and mass notification systems. Being deployed world-wide, these products are used in diverse applications such as crowd control, mass notification, border/port security, law enforcement, maritime security, perimeter protection and more.
