Meet Beacon 3: Portable Audio Built for the Way Athletic Programs Move
Mar 31, 2026
Athletic programs rarely stay in one place. Equipment moves from storage rooms to fields, from practice areas to game venues, and sometimes across multiple locations in a single day. Because of this constant movement, audio systems used for athletics need to be just as mobile as the teams they support.
That’s exactly where Beacon 3 shines.
Designed with portability and convenience in mind, Beacon 3 delivers reliable field-ready sound while making transport, storage, and setup easier for coaches, athletic directors, and event staff.
A Portable PA System That’s Easy to Move
Many traditional PA systems are difficult to transport. Multiple components, heavy speaker cabinets, and complicated setup can slow down event preparation.
Beacon 3 takes a different approach. Its nested speaker design allows the system to collapse into a compact form that’s easier to move and store.
When extended, Beacon 3 reaches 72 inches tall, helping project audio across athletic spaces. When collapsed, the system reduces to just 28 inches, making it far easier to transport between fields or store when not in use.
Combined with rugged wheels and a telescoping handle, the system can be moved quickly, even by a single staff member.
Designed for Real-World Storage Challenges
Athletic departments often have limited storage space for equipment. Bulky sound systems can quickly take up valuable room in storage closets, equipment cages, or maintenance areas.
Beacon 3’s compact nested design helps solve this challenge.
Because the speaker components collapse into the main cabinet, the system occupies significantly less space when stored. This makes it a practical option for schools and sports organizations that need powerful audio but don’t have room for large, permanent systems.
Battery Power That Works Anywhere
Another major advantage of Beacon 3 is its battery-powered operation, allowing it to be used on virtually any field without relying on nearby power outlets.
With over seven hours of battery runtime, Beacon 3 can support:
- Full-length games
- Track meets and tournaments
- Practice sessions
- Outdoor school events
This flexibility allows athletic staff to place the system wherever it’s needed—sidelines, midfield areas, or temporary event setups.
Clear Sound for a Variety of Athletic Events
Beacon 3 provides strong, clear audio that works well for a wide range of athletic environments.
Common use cases include:
- Soccer and baseball fields
- Track and field events
- School pep rallies
- Multi-field tournaments
- Outdoor announcements and ceremonies
For larger venues that require maximum output, systems like Bigfoot 3 may be the best fit. For practices or smaller spaces, Liberty 3 offers a compact solution.
Beacon 3 fills the middle ground—delivering balanced power and portability for athletic programs that need a system capable of handling multiple event types.
A Flexible Addition to the Series 3 Lineup
The Series 3 family was designed to give athletic programs options based on their specific needs.
- Liberty 3 – Compact and easy to deploy for practices and smaller events
- Beacon 3 – Portable, space-efficient audio ideal for everyday athletic use
- Bigfoot 3 – Maximum output for larger venues and high-energy events
By offering solutions across different performance levels, the Series 3 lineup helps schools and organizations match the right system to their fields and events.
Built for the Pace of Athletics
Athletic environments move quickly. Equipment needs to be easy to transport, simple to set up, and reliable from the first whistle to the final announcement.
Beacon 3 was designed with these realities in mind, delivering portable, practical audio that keeps up with the pace of athletic programs.
Whether it’s moving between practice fields or preparing for game day, Beacon 3 provides a flexible solution that helps ensure every announcement is heard clearly.
