Technomad Turnkey PA Systems
Get the sound your team, venue, or event deserves!
The Problem: You know you need a real sound system... for too long you’ve put up
with hard-to-hear speech, and music that sound like it’s coming through a telephone.
The problem is, what kind of loudspeakers to get? You want something that’s going to
last, but most “weather-resistant” loudspeakers only survive a season or two if you’re
lucky (and sound pretty terrible anyway). Then you have to figure out what kind of
amplifier to get, choose a mixer with all the connections you need, get a microphone,
pick the right cables, hook everything up correctly... What a hassle.
The Answer: Good news! Technomad, manufacturer of military-grade loudspeakers
for the US Armed forces and theme park and cruise ship customers around the globe,
presents its new Turnkey PA Systems. These are complete, ready-to-use PA systems
that include Technomad’s mil-spec weatherproof loudspeakers, mounting brackets,
speaker cables, and a pre-wired control rack with an expandable mixer (with mic and
CD-Tape inputs), a hand-held microphone, and a transport storage case. All you have
to do is plug in power, attach the loudspeaker cables, and... you’re done!
You don’t need ANY special audio knowledge to install and use a high quality PA
system at your stadium or venue (and we have mobile systems too, in case you need to
use your sound system in several places).
There are 3 sizes of system: small, medium, and large. The medium system handles
an entire high school football stadium with ease - home, field, and away sides.
The sound quality? Better than any outdoor audio system you’ve ever heard - speech
is clear even at long distances, or in windy / noisy environments, and music sound
great, with detailed highs and deep bass. No music store PA or cheap plastic “all-in-one”
PA system can compete with the military-grade power and realiability of Technomad.
And yes, you can install the loudspeakers permanently outdoors - they need no
special protection to sound great in any weather, for years and years. Read on to pick
your PA system, and finally get the PA system- and the sound quality - you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
» Are Technomad Turnkey PA Systems REALLY weatherproof?
The loudspeakers included with Technomad Turnkey PA Systems are completely weatherproof. They are
impervious to rain, snow, sleet, salt fog, UV radiation, insect attack, rough handling, and more. They are
Military-Grade, and are constructed from thick, one-piece polyethylene. No other commercial loudspeaker
comes close to the physical and electrical reliability of Technomad. You can install your Technomad loudspeakers outdoors, permanently, year-round. The "control rack" - amplifier / mixer racks - can get wet when their lids
are attached, but should be protected from moisture when in-use.
» What makes these systems better than "music store" systems?
"Music store" PA systems are intended for general purpose, indoor sound reinforcement. They cannot survive
outside installation (the loudspeaker cones will break down, the cabinets will rot, metal will rust, etc). Also,
these systems are unable to project sound powerfully enough to cover large, outdoor areas. Speech will be
unclear, and music will lack impact. In contrast, Technomad Turnkey PAsystems offer an unmatched combination of military-grade reliability and powerful audio reproduction that handles large outdoor areas with ease.
» What makes these systems better than "all-in-one" systems?
People sometimes attempt to cover their indoor or outdoor even using a compact, "all-in-one" PA system.
While these systems are useful for small, low-volume indoor events (board meetings, etc) , they
are not powerful enough to project sound in large outdoor areas or in noisy, reverberant gyms. These systems
tend to be operated at the edge of their capacity, and sound strained, distored, or clipped when pushed too
hard. Sound quality suffers, and speech clarity is very poor. Also, these all-in-one systems are highly sensitive to
weather (rain, moisture, etc.) and cannot be installed permanently. A Technomad Turnkey PA system offers
VASTLY better music and speech quality than cheap plasticall-in-one systems, and and are orders of magnitude
more relaible.
» How clear / intelligible is speech through a Turnkey PA system?
Technomad Turnkey PA systems offer unmatched speech and voice clarity, freeof horn-mouth distortion and the
limited frequency range of other systems. Theresult? Speech is clear, intelligible, and natural sounding, even in
noisy orwindy environments. Choose Technomad Turnkey PAsystems for the best voiceclarity available.
» How is the sound quality? Can I play music through a Technomad Turnkey PA?

amplifiedinstruments all sound great when reproduced by a Technomad Turnkey PA system.
» Why should I used Technomad Turnkey PA systems instead of a "horn" system?
Horn systems degrade speech and destroy music quality. Technomad TurnkeyPA systems handle voice paging
and music playback, and do it all vastly betterthan a horn system or a "music store" PA system.
» Where can I install them?
Technomad Turnkey PA systems can be installed on a building, press-box, pole,or other sturdy structure. Note :
there is a best placeto install speakers in a stadium for best sound quality. See below... In general,Technomad
Turnkey PA systems can be used virtually everywhere.
» What is the best place to install loudspeakers in a football stadium? or a baseballstadium?
TThe natural instinct is to install loudspeakers on poles, facing the "homeside" stands. This is a mistake!

Read More! For baseball use, you should install speakersright behind home plate in a cluster, on loudspeaker
pointing @ 45 degrees left and the other @ 45 degrees right.
» What kind of power do they require?

football field, and some of the fielditself - @ 500+ people. The iPA2 or mPA2 (medium install or medium mobile
systems)will cover and ENTIRE football field - home side, field, and away side - @ 1000+people. The iPA3 or
