Origins[]
Hitachi Maxell is a Japanese company the produces consumer electronics such as batteries and storage devices. In the past, they were a top manufacturer of audiocassettes, VHS tapes and CDs until they became virtually obsolete. From the set of the “Blown Away Man” advertisement came this powerful speaker. It depicted a man holding on for dear life as a speaker powerfully blasted him and his chair away.
Effects[]
This speaker creates a blast of sound energy that becomes a veritable wall so long as the sound lasts. Any recording equipment caught in the middle will be reset, causing all data to be erased.
