Technomad: Not Just Another Plastic Loudspeaker
Technomad loudspeakers are often compared to the many other lines of
plastic loudspeakers. Several important factors in the Technomad design
and
manufacturing process greatly distinguish Technomad from the growing
field of plastic loudspeakers.
Design
Technomad loudspeakers are designed for higher performance and
output applications than all other plastic loudspeakers available.
Technomad also offers a wider range of features making Technomad loud-
speakers the only choice for year-round, indoor, outdoor, permanent,
semi-permanent or mobile applications. No other plastic loudspeaker can
match Technomad in application, flexibility, fidelity durability, options, price
and performance.
Manufacturing
Technomad enclosures are manufactured of military grade polyethylene
and cast as an extremely rugged one piece unit. Our cabinet manufactur-
ing process
produces an incredibly uniform linear wall thickness of .5” with .75” thick
corner areas. Technomad’s loudspeaker construction process sets our
loudspeakers apart from all other plastic loudspeakers in two ways: The
cabinet walls of most
plastic loudspeakers are 25% to as much as 65% thinner than the cabinet
walls of a Technomad loudspeaker. A Technomad loudspeaker cabinet is
able to endure greater abuse than any other commercially available loud-
speaker - regardless of construction materials and manufacturing meth-
ods. Also, a thicker cabinet wall has better acoustic properties than a
thinner loudspeaker cabinet wall. The thicker cabinet wall prevents distor-
tion and/or inefficiency problems due to wall flex. Technomad loudspeak-
ers produce a full, articulate sound, comparable to the performance of a
multi-ply Baltic birch cabinet.
Compliances/Specifications Met
Technomad self-casing loudspeakers are designed to meet and exceed
ATA-III, and fully comply with United States Military Specification 810E.
No other
commercially available plastic or wood loudspeaker can make that claim.
Technomad polyethylene cabinets have many advantages over traditional
wooden cabinets. Unlike wood, high quality recycled polyethylene is a renew-
able resource. Polyethylene is impervious to moisture, virtually all sol-
vents, mold, mildew, and UV radiation. There is no waste in the
Technomad cabinet manufacturing process. Because they are cast as
one solid piece through a low stress manufacturing process, Technomad
cabinets are extremely strong and do not splinter or crack when subjected
to abuse.
Polyethylene Cabinets
Technomad carries a full line of high quality Mil-Spec trunk, briefcase and
rack mount cases. Made to the same high standards as Technomad
loudspeakers, these cases offer unmatched protection. Unlike injection
molded cases, Technomad cases will hold up to years of abuse. Thirty
percent lighter than
traditional wood laminate and metal road cases, Technomad cases are
also stronger and more resilient. There are three categories of
Technomad cases.
Trunk Cases
Technomad offers a wide and diverse line of trunk style cases. Gray is
the standard case color for trunk cases, but all other Technomad colors
are available as special order items.

There are three configurations of foam lining: bare with no foam, lined
with 2” or 1” foam, or lined with 2” or 1” foam and filled with 1” or 2” layers
of foam.
ProRack Cases
These rugged 19” rack cases are the best plastic rack case available.
Unlike injection or vacuum molded plastic cases, Technomad ProRacks
will stand up to almost any abuse. Available in 4U, 6U, and 8U sizes,
ProRacks have the options of mounting brackets for removable legs and
casters, rear rack rails, and catches and strikes to lock stacks of
ProRacks together as one unit. Black is the standard case color for
ProRacks, but all other Technomad colors are available as special order
items.
Tote Briefcases
Technomad Tote briefcases provide quality protection for small items at an
modest price. Available in 4 sizes, these lockable cases are waterproof to
100 feet. All sizes come filled with Hex-a-pluck foam which allow each
case to be customized by the user. Black is the standard case color for
Tote cases and no other colors are available.
