MEGAPHONE

WITH MP3 PLAYER, WHISTLE, AND SIREN

Thank you for choosing Polsen.

The Polsen MP-25 Megaphone is a powerful

and durable solution for voice amplication and

is ideal for high-noise areas and large open spaces. With a maximum output of 25 watts, the MP-25 is audible over 1,500 yards away.

The MP-25 features an attached hand-held microphone with a coiled cable allowing operators to face a different direction than the crowds they are addressing. The microphone can also be mounted on the mic holder enabling easy, one-handed operation.

The MP-25 also features a built-in MP3 decoder

that plays les stored on SD cards or ash

drives. Since the microphone and MP3 player have independent volume controls, users have the option of speaking over music or prerecorded audio. For more playback options, mobile devices such as MP3 players or smart phones can also be connected to the MP-25 through the 3.5 mm auxiliary (Aux) input jack.

Tough ABS construction of the outer shell protects the megaphone from impact and the demands of outdoor use. The included adjustable shoulder strap provides extra support during periods of extended use.

Among the benets you’ll enjoy:

• Audible speech more than 1,500 yards away

• SD card slot, USB port, and Aux input

• Built-in MP3 player

• Attached microphone with coiled cable, locking

talk button, and volume control

Speaking over music

The microphone remains active while the MP3 player or mobile device is operating.

1. With the MIC VOLUME CONTROL set slightly above minimum volume, adjust the volume of the music:

Use the V+ and V- buttons when using an

SD card or ash drive.

If using a mobile device, use the volume

controls on the device.

2. While music is playing, set the microphone volume to the desired level using the MIC VOLUME CONTROL.

Note: The MIC VOLUME CONTROL acts as a master volume control. By decreasing the volume of the microphone it will also decrease the volume of the MP3 or mobile device. However, it will not increase the MP3 or auxiliary volume beyond the level at which it was originally set.
