MediaBox

CitizensOversight has two media solutions:

### Large Media Box **STAGE 1**
During the events at Occupy San Diego in 2011, COPS provided a box with battery and inverter on a little red wagon, which was pulled around for weeks. It provided not only power for recharging phones and cameras, but also a place to put personal items. A secure deposit box was mounted to one end.
**STAGE 2**

More recent configuration with multiple-microphone holder at San Onofre closure celebration

After the main occupy was completed in San Diego, the box was reworked into a media lectern box, with internal power, mixer, and PA system: - This is what the PA system looks like, Newcomb Pathfinder - But basically, you will be plugging into the Behringer ub1202 - The box itself is 3 ft tall (not including wheels) and about 18" wide and deep. But it is heavy. - The battery must be removed to turn it on it's back for transportation. - The PA system can be used on a battery charge for at least five hours. - Speakers can be placed on side handles and rolled on the sidewalk. - Grill cloth changed to black and speakers painted black. - This media box is still in this configuration as of May, 2015, although improved with a better multiple microphone holder. - [Media Box Setup Instructions](https://copswiki.org/w/pub/Common/MediaBox/MediaBoxSetupInstructions.pdf)

COPS invested in a small media box. - Pyle Pro PWMA230 200W VHF Wireless Battery Powered PA System B&H \# PYPWMA230 MFR \# PWMA230 - - Tried to take this on a plane and the security agents repacked it and winding up breaking the handle and wheels. Cost $35 to fix for replacements. - This system is good for small gatherings within about 25 ft of the speaker.
