Description
Overview
The Jex electric starting pistol and amp is an electronic alternative to a cap pistol or hand whistle at the start line. The pistol plugs into the amplifier that comes with it, and you choose from three tones: a simulated gun sound for athletics, the electronic beep swimmers are used to, or a traditional whistle tone.
One unit covers the school year: track starts, swimming sports and getting a field of students to listen. Find it with other starting gear under track starts.
Key benefits
- One starter covers athletics, swimming and general attention signals with three selectable tones.
- Electronic gun sound gives runners a clear, repeatable start signal.
- Swimmers get the electronic beep they are used to from swim meets.
- Whistle tone works as a general attention or stop signal on the field.
- Pistol and amplifier come together as one unit.
Who it's for
Suits school sports coordinators running athletics days and swimming sports, athletics and swimming clubs, and PE departments that want a louder, more consistent start than a whistle. It is not a timing system; pair it with your own stopwatches or timing gear from our timing & megaphones range.
Care, safety and set-up
Keep the pistol and amp together in one case between events so the set stays complete. Our reps can advise on pairing it with other PA gear.
