ChatterVOX®
personal voice amplification system
model “6”
User’s Guide
enhanced listening technologies corp.
products that make a difference everyday

Thank you for purchasing the “new” ChatterVOX® model 6 personal voice amplification
system. Since 1998, our compact portable voice amplifiers have set a worldwide stand-
ard for excellence, performance and value. They are recognized as valuable tools of
vocal conservation and improved audience retention by speech pathologists and educa-
tional audiologists.
Years in development, the model 6 fills a niche in the speech reinforcement market that
we believe we were not adequately serving with the “Original” patented ChatterVOX®
design. We needed a little more power...a little more “reach” to serve the needs of PE
teachers, Job site superintendents, Coaches, Band directors and Tour guides working in
high noise areas. At the same time we needed a design that retained the ease of use
and comfort afforded by our original product.
Reference “the EGG”, one of nature’s finest packaging designs and an inspiration for the
model 6. Flattened on one end to fit the loudspeaker and shaved on one side to fit the
hip and we achieve a loudspeaker design of extraordinary performance for its size and
weight that preserves the freedom of movement physically active presenters crave.
To drive this new speaker, we have added a more powerful and efficient low distortion
class “D” amplifier circuit, an intelligent, rapid charging system and a tool adjustable high
frequency boost/cut control to custom tailor the amplifiers performance with a wider varie-
ty of microphones.
For comfort and convenience, we have developed a unique tension/suspension waist belt
that doubles as a shoulder belt for the amplifier or for its durable “bowling bag” style tote.
We sincerely believe you will find this product a joy to own and that the listeners you
reach out to will enjoy the added impact it will lend your voice.
Again, our thanks for your purchase. I would love to hear your comments and sugges-
tions Email: [email protected].

GeneralOperangGuidelines
1. Fit the ChatterVOX® amplifier “snuggly” around the waist on the right hip.
(NOTE: to project your voice to a group following behind you place it on
the left hip. You may alternatively use the waist belt as a shoulder strap.
2. Fit the included headset microphone around the back of your head and
over your ears.
3. Position the microphone boom as close as possible to the corner of the
mouth (NOT in front of the mouth).
4. Insert the microphone plug completely into the microphone input jack.
5. Turn the power switch/volume control clockwise gradually increasing vol-
ume to the required level. (NOTE: you are standing BEHIND the speaker,
IT IS LOUDER than you perceive).
6. When YOU “perceive” your voice is loud enough ,slightly reduce the vol-
ume. (This will help reduce the potential for acoustic feedback)
7. When using high volume levels BEWARE of walking up to hard, highly
sound reflective surfaces. These can baffle your voice from the speaker
back into the microphone resulting in feedback (squealing or howling).
8. If at any time you hear a ringing sound in your voice you are very near the
“feedback” level. Reduce the volume slightly.
