CEO Amplivox Sound Systems,

Donald Roth Sr.

Company History

     Roth acquired AmpliVox, which was still under the Perma Power name at the time, in 1995, becoming the fifth owner of the sound products line. PermaPower, founded by Norm Ackerman in 1952, introduced the AmpliVox line of portable PA systems in the 1960s. The company also introduced one of the first residential radio-controlled garage door openers, supplying Craftsman garage door openers to Sears. In the late 1970s, the company added power outlet strips, surge suppressers, power conditioners and uninterruptible power systems (UPS) for computers.
     Donald Roth, before coming to own PermaPower, was integral to its growth and success. Before joining Perma Power, Roth was regional vice-president for Xerox and executive vice-president of Apeco and Numeridex Cad/Cam Systems.

     This new product became the flagship of a new fleet of professional portable public address systems.
     The Wireless Travel Audio Pro's all inclusive built-in features made and ease of portability made it one of the leaders in the portable sound system market.

In 2007, AmpliVox renewed its dedication to quality and portabilityDigital PA System by launching the Digital Audio Travel Partner


     This new Digital Sound System allowed even greater portability weighing only 35lbs and with its digital capability, remote control, and full customizability and digital recorder option, it is fast becoming the new standard in user friendly portable sound equipment.

     With this great new product, and many others (see our What's New page) Amplivox continues to grow and expand into new markets and is fast becoming an industry standard.
