CBWI August 2001 Astatic’s MobileMax™

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a new echo box. I think RF Limited up until this one was the only company still making an echo box. The problem with these add-on boxes has been RF feedback. RF Limited units seemed immune to this type of problem in most installations. They did quite a […]
