Mini Public Address System (MPA)

The MPA provides the highest level of acoustical volume. This system is very loud. The large speaker and powerful battery enable the MPA to serve up to 100 listeners.  It requires a large solar panel and it is not practical to recharge the batteries with a hand crank generator. The MPA is simply an amplified speaker and does not have a portable media player built in. The MPAcan also be used with a microphone to amplify the voice of the teacher.
