ZaVox Speech Amplifier by Zabonne Ltd. |
The ZaVox Speech Amplifier is a small portable aid that is worn on the body. It is useful for people
who have quiet speech. The ZaVox amplifies the speech. Only outgoing breath, such as a whisper, is necessary to
enable ZaVox to provide amplification. |
Anyone who has a very quiet or weak voice may be an appropriate user of the ZaVox. The volume of speech
is amplified through the ZaVox with no change to clarity. A Speech Pathologist should be consulted to determine
suitability. |
The ZaVox is also used by people who need to talk for long periods or raise their voices for specific
activities. We know of classroom teachers who use the ZaVox to prevent vocal abuse caused by straining the voice.
|
Others who are currently finding the ZaVox useful are people with Parkinson's Disease and Motor Neuron
Disease — conditions in which the voice may become inaudible. The volume of speech may be reduced by a range
of conditions and the ZaVox can be used to amplify speech regardless of the cause. |
The ZaVox amplifier measures 4.5 x 2.75 x 1.25 inches (114 x 70 x 32 mm), and weighs 7.8 oz. (221 g). It
can be worn around the waist on your own belt or the belt supplied. It is powered by a 9V battery. A choice of
microphone locations can be used but better results are achieved with a microphone closest to the mouth. The
ZaVox can be ordered with the headset microphone, the lapel microphone, or with both. One push-button controls
On/Off, two push-buttons control the output volume. Output is one watt. The speaker cone is made of durable
polyester. |
