Ron Stelzer
knows the challenges of Parkinson’s Disease all too well. Diagnosed with the
neurological disorder in 2007, Stelzer has had to deal with a range of difficult
symptoms, including problems with the volume and intelligibility of his speech.
Fortunately, as CFO of AmpliVox Sound Systems, Stelzer had access to experts in
the science of helping people’s voices be heard. AmpliVox sound technicians
worked with Stelzer to adapt the company’s S207 BeltBlaster Voice Booster to
amplify and clarify his voice with a wearable mini-PA that goes anywhere.
The
BeltBlaster Voice Booster is a lightweight, battery-powered 5W sound system
that is worn on a belt for hands-free convenience. The unit connects to either
a lapel or headset microphone, and provides sufficient sound coverage for
groups of up to 75 people. It also includes fingertip controls for volume and a
handheld mute button that is easy for users to operate. The unit’s rechargeable batteries last for up
to six hours on a single charge, and can be replaced with standard AA
batteries. A weather-resistant neoprene cover protects the unit and enhances
its acoustics.
“The
AmpliVox BeltBlaster Voice Booster helps me project my voice much more
strongly,” notes Stelzer. “The critical feature it has is an on/off button that
lets me easily mute my voice when I don’t want to be heard. The Voice Booster
can help anyone who needs assistance being heard, for whatever reason.”
The
BeltBlaster can be seen in action in this instructive video. For more information about the BeltBlaster Voice Booster and other
