The USS Midway Museum is one of the world’s most unique venues. Every day, scores of volunteer docents share remarkable stories of service and sacrifice with thousands of guests in spaces that range from narrow passageways inside the ship’s island to the expansive hangar deck and the windswept flight deck overlooking San Diego Bay. Each location presents unique acoustic challenges, making coherent communication essential to creating an unforgettable visitor experience.
For the past few years, corporate partner Anchor Audio has helped ensure those stories are heard loud and clear.
Locally based, Anchor Audio designs and manufactures professional portable sound systems that are proudly American made. For more than 40 years, the company has built rugged, easy-to-use voice amplification solutions serving educators, military organizations, government agencies, first responders, businesses, sports and entertainment venues and event professionals across the country.
Aboard Midway, Anchor Audio’s Liberty and Bigfoot portable sound systems have become indispensable tools for docents and staff.
Inside the ship’s island, Liberty systems provide clear voice reinforcement for small tour groups navigating compact compartments and steel passageways. On the hangar deck, where sound echoes across steel surfaces and blends with the conversations of hundreds of visitors at any given time, the systems deliver the clarity and projection needed to keep guests engaged.

The challenges continue on the flight deck, where docents present popular aircraft launch and recovery demonstrations while competing with winds off San Diego Bay, military and civilian aircraft operating from nearby airports, and construction activity at adjacent Freedom Park at Burnham Navy Pier.
In every setting, Anchor Audio’s portable systems help transform difficult listening environments into memorable educational experiences.
“Anchor Audio provides an outstanding range of amplification solutions that allow our educators and docents to deliver exceptional experiences in every one of Midway’s uniquely challenging indoor and outdoor environments,” said Steve Miller, Midway’s director of strategic partnerships and member development. “We’re excited to continue growing this outstanding partnership.”
Anchor Audio equipment also supports the hundreds of corporate events, military ceremonies, educational programs, receptions and community gatherings hosted aboard Midway each year.
The partnership extends well beyond providing equipment. Anchor Audio works closely with the museum through technical support, communications consultation and product testing, recognizing that Midway’s extraordinary variety of spaces offers an ideal environment to demonstrate the versatility of its products.
As the most-visited historic naval ship museum in the world, Midway provides an iconic setting for showcasing industry-leading American-made technology, while benefiting from a trusted corporate partner committed to helping preserve history by ensuring every story can be heard.
