Every Saturday night throughout the spring and summer, South Dakota auto-enthusiasts head to the bleachers of the Miller Central Speedway to watch the Green Flag fall and to root for their favorite drivers. Miller Central Speedway is a half-mile oval dirt track located in central South Dakota. Home to WISSOTA Auto Racing events, the Speedway features Late Model, Street Stock, Superstock, as well as Pump-N-Pak Purestocks. MSC is a longstanding institution in the Miller community and the Speedway celebrated its 50th racing seaon in 2015.

Several improvements have been made to the Speedway since new owners Dale and Susan Hargens took charge. Pit work, track re-shaping, and an improved concession selection were the first upgrades on the to-do list. An enhanced audio experience has been the most recent. In spring of 2018, the Miller Speedway team worked with Jeff Hanson of Unique Sound Installations to upgrade the horns that had been broadcasting track events since 1975. Jeff pointed the MSC team towards Technomad’s Paris loudspeakers. The Paris loudspeakers are compact, completely weatherproof and powerful enough to compete with the ever-present roar of engines at the Speedway. Four Paris Loudspeakers were installed on the Miller Speedway press box.

“I included an easy-to-operate sound processor with a strong amp and microphone. They loved the sound quality!” says Mr. Hanson.

A week before the first big race of the season, Jeff received a call from Dave. The audience for the first race was going to be larger than expected, could they add two more Paris speakers?

“With short notice, I contacted Technomad and explained my situation,” says Jeff. “Without hesitation, you guys shipped the speakers that day and I was able to install the additional two speakers the day of the big race. Thanks to the people at Technomad. You helped me secure a customer and make a few friends along the way.”

We’re proud to know that the Paris loudspeakers are going strong at Miller Central Speedway and appreciate partners like Jeff and Unique Sound Installations that invite us to be a part of cool projects like this one.

In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, about halfway between Hawaii and Australia, lie the Marshall Islands. The Republic of the Marshall Island’s is spread out over 29 coral atolls, made up of over 1,000 individual islands and islets. Technically part of Micronesia, history buffs will recognize the Marshall Islands campaign from World War II. The turquoise waters and white sand beaches of the Marshall Islands are also infamous for nuclear testing sites such as the Bikini Atoll.

On one of 1,000+ islands, sits the U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll/Kwajalein Missile Range (USAKA/KMR) and on the Kwajalein base sits a range of Technomad products. The Technomad collection is perched on the roof of a three-story building and where the Berlin loudspeakers and PowerChiton amplifiers broadcast sound over a 1 mile by 0.5 mile radius.

The system which ran uninterrupted for more than 7 years, withstanding heavy wind, salt spray, and everything else the tropical environs throw its way, was upgraded in early 2018.

Even after 7+ years you can see minimal rust and no structural damage on the Technomad Berlin despite years spent in one of the world’s most extreme environments.

If you’re one of the thousands of people who have enjoyed a Club Med experience, you might have also unknowingly enjoyed audio broadcast to you from Technomad loudspeakers. To date, Technomad loudspeakers can be found in four international Club Med locations, the most recent being Club Med Punta Cana.

Located on the gem-colored waters of the Caribean, Club Med Punta Cana boasts colonial architecture, white sand beaches, and a palm tree-studded coast. Guests can relax like VIP’s in Tiara, a 5-Trident luxury area; be pampered in the Zen Oasis, an adults-only hideaway; or experience Creactive, a Cirque-du-Soleil staffed circus playground for adults and kids.

If you’re enjoying a game of beach volleyball in the ocean-side courts or a fruity drink in your private thatched-roof cabana, you’ll hear the beats of meringue pulsing through the property, broadcast by Technomad’s very own Berlin loudspeakers. These powerful, full-range loudspeakers are IP56 weatherproof making them impermeable to the ocean-spray and strong wind-gusts of the Carribean coast.

Club Med Sandpiper installed Berlin loudspeakers in their location 5+ year ago. Oliver De Kegel, owner of systems integration firm Axxentos, who handled the Sandpiper install had this to say about why he chose Technomad:  “I’ve learned what gear can survive in harsh environments over the years, and from all the outdoor installations I have done, only one company reliably endures the elements — and that is Technomad…They also produce great sounding audio.”

The Berlin loudspeakers broadcast crystal-clear sound and can be seen mounted on palm-trees throughout the Dominican Republic Club Med property.
