ATTACHMENT 2<br />
An AM/FM/CD radio with PA shall be installed in the RH parcel rack at the front of the <strong>coach</strong>. A<br />
public address system shall be installed that enables the driver to address passengers either inside or<br />
outside the <strong>coach</strong>. A minimum of 26 interior speakers shall broadcast, in a clear tone, announcements<br />
that are clearly perceived from all seat positions at approximately the same volume level. Speaker shall<br />
be provided outside above the entrance door so that announcements can be clearly heard by passengers<br />
standing near the door(s). A driver controlled switch shall select inside or outside announcements. A<br />
separate volume control shall be provided for the outside system if volume adjustment would otherwise<br />
be necessary when switching from inside to outside. The system shall be muted when not in use. The<br />
microphone shall not interfere with the operation of the mobile radio system.<br />
The microphone shall be a Clever Devices SpeakEasy hands-free microphone. The unit shall be<br />
composed of a microphone, electronics, tamper resistant metal housing including conduit and wiring<br />
from the housing to the <strong>coach</strong> PA system and existing speakers. The microphone shall provide handsfree<br />
operation. A foot switch shall be provided for activating SpeakEasy for inside announcements.<br />
The system shall use the existing PA amplifier for the inside announcements. The inside audio will be<br />
controlled with existing PA volume controls. An LED shall be provided for indicating that the system<br />
is recording.<br />
An outside announcement shall be recordable via a push button on the SpeakEasy metal housing. Once<br />
recorded, the outside announcement shall be triggered automatically upon opening the door by a 24 volt<br />
DC discrete signal input. No external amplifier shall be required for the outside announcement. An<br />
LED shall be provided for indicating that the system is recording.<br />
An additional on/off switch will give the operator the ability to disable playing the outside message and<br />
re-enable it at the operator’s discretion. Audio quality must be sufficient to be heard clearly throughout<br />
the <strong>coach</strong> without any feedback and shall have a minimum of background noise. The length of the<br />
messages shall be 30 seconds maximum each for inside and outside messages with only two repeats per<br />
door activation. SpeakEasy shall play clearly with the operator speaking from a normally seated<br />
position. SpeakEasy shall minimize background noise.<br />
