In a typical application, the PowerChiton is installed on a lighting pole, connected to AC power supplied by the pole. The PowerChiton drives a cluster of up to three loudspeakers. The Breakout Box is wired to the PowerChiton via the umbilical cable, with the BoB installed at eye-level on the pole for easy access..
A coach or other user can walk up to the BreakoutBox, unlock it and immediately make announcements via the microphone or play music by connecting an iPod or similar source.
Together, the BreakoutBox series and PowerChiton eliminate the need for a dedicated equipment room or press box. A complete PA system can be installed ‘naked’ on an outdoor structure or post, ready for use at a moments notice.
