Upgrading from “Commercial Grade” Loudspeakers to Technomad

Technomad military-specification loudspeakers offer significant advantages over typical “commercial” or “consumer” models from other manufacturers. These advantages include:

• Better fidelity (music and speech are much clearer)
• Much better throw (ability to project sound despite high background noise levels, or outside)
• Simplicity of installation
• More robust / rugged construction » See “torture-testing” videos
• Fully weatherproof construction
• Abuse/ vandalism resistant
• Electrically reliable – can take electrical abuse that destroys other brands
• Unaffected by ultraviolet light, chemicals, insects, moisture, etc.
• 14 available Colors
• Excellent power handling and efficiency combined with wide dispersion pattern means many projects can be done with 20-30% fewer Technomad loudspeakers than typical brands, and with better fidelity and reliability.
• MUCH lower total lifetime cost-of-ownership

Following are some normal substitutions of Technomad products for other brand. Note that you may not need to make a 1-to-1 replacement – Contact Technomad to discuss the best loudspeakers for your project. All non-Technomad brands and names are property of their respective owners.
