Product Overview
The TOA ER-1000A-BT AMQ is a wearable personal PA system worn on the waist, delivering up to 10W output through a built-in speaker with up to 9 hours of battery life. It includes a 3.5 mm headset microphone, a 3.5 mm AUX line input, and a built-in Bluetooth receiver (v4.2) for wireless audio streaming from smartphones or tablets. Designed for guided tours, fitness instruction, traffic direction, event presentations, and retail demonstrations.
Product Description
The ER-1000A-BT AMQ's curved body fits securely on most waistbands with an adjustable elastic belt (0.5 to 1.2 m). Output power is user-selectable by battery count: 6 AA batteries (9V configuration) deliver 6W rated / 10W max with an audible range of approximately 100 m; 4 batteries (6V) give 3W rated / 4W max with 80 m range. Battery life reaches approximately 9 hours for both voice and Bluetooth music playback. The included headset electret condenser microphone clips over the ear with a 1.3 m cord. A rotary volume control and power switch on the main unit provide simple operation. No battery charger is built in — replaceable AA alkaline (LR6) or rechargeable Ni-MH (HR15/51) batteries are used.
