• Hands-free mobility for flexible and more effective presentations
• Aux-in connects audio from computers and other media players

The Califone 5-Watt VoiceSaver is a miniature PA system consisting of a lightweight headset microphone (HBM-316) and an amplifier/ loudspeaker that can be belt-worn or placed on a desktop or other flat surfaces.

The amplifier/loudspeaker is housed in a durable ABS plastic enclosure which is shatter-resistant so it will stand up to day-in and day-out uses.

The package includes an on/off switch and companion LED status indicator, as well as a volume control, a 3.5-mm microphone input, and an auxiliary input to connect with laptop computers for enhanced audio amplification.
