Banshee Active VHF Extension Speaker

Providing boat owners with an audio lifeline

In adverse boating conditions, having clear audio can be the difference between disaster and safe travels.

Built for Critical Communication. Boat owners express the critical importance of having clear ship to ship and ship to shore communication as a main component on every boat helm. To enhance audio quality most helms are equipped with extension speakers to amplify the clarity of the VHF system.  DesignThink’s team worked with a leading audio engineer in Europe and the team at Banshee to develop the breakthrough Active VHF Extension Speaker. Featuring a built-in 10W DSP amplifier actively filters out non-vocal frequencies enhancing voice clarity in even the noisiest environments to deliver powerful, crystal-clear audio for the VHF radio, ensuring boat operators never miss an important message. To launch the brand, we developed a bold aesthetic strategy to allow the new brand to stand out in a crowded and mature market. Banshee is gaining industry recognition and rapid market growth through the help of DesignThink’s design leadership.
