At Klein Electronics, they understand that communication is key to safety and efficiency. Operating since 1991 as a Certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, the San Diego-based company has grown into a trusted name in the communications industry, becoming essential to those who work in security.
Known for supplying high-quality 2-way radios and accessories, Klein Electronics helps bars and clubs improve security, ensure staff efficiency and foster a safe environment for both patrons and employees. The manufacturer’s commitment to customer satisfaction and dedication to maintaining the lowest defect rate in the industry has made them a top choice among professional and industrial consumers. With some customer relationships spanning over two decades, they’ve built an unbeatable foundation of trust and reliability.
ED spoke with Klein Electronics CEO Richard Klein to learn more about their 2-way radios and how the right product can enhance security in adult nightclubs.
“Communication is the key to safety and efficiency,” he explains. “Knowing that someone needs medical attention if they fall, pass out or get ill, or that a bouncer needs backup may save lives and limit club liability. Also, being able to call out for support in a large or noisy environment rather than spend time walking around and trying to find people saves time and money.”
For busy nightclubs, where noise and large crowds are standard, 2-way radios provide a streamlined solution, allowing staff to stay in constant contact and quickly address issues before they escalate. When it comes to security at adult nightclubs, Klein offers his advice on what features to look for when considering adding 2-way radios to your club’s security procedures.
“Lightweight, long battery life, and clear, loud audio quality are key,” he says. “Additionally, earpieces, especially those with noise-canceling capabilities, can help your team communicate clearly, even in the loudest environments. Multi-chargers are another great option to minimize outlet clutter and streamline the charging process.

For average-sized and smaller adult nightclubs, Klein recommends the POCKET 2-Way Radio. This compact device is perfect for venues up to 10,000 square feet and comes equipped with 16 channels running on 1.5 watts for reliable communication across the space. It’s also durable, passing a 20-foot drop test, and built to withstand the wear and tear of daily use in a fast-paced environment.
For larger clubs with multiple rooms or floors, Klein suggests the BANTAM High Powered Radio Series. Delivering up to 5-watt power output and options for UHF or VHF frequency bands, this series provides extended range and reliability, making it ideal for larger venues that require long-distance communication.
In a setting where security is paramount, privacy is equally important. Klein assures that all of Klein Electronics’ 2-way radios are 100% secure and compatible with any brand of existing radio gear the club may already have.
“We program in a sub-audible tone along with your frequencies so only your team can hear and communicate with you,” he explains, ensuring that all radio conversations remain private and exclusive to staff.
Klein Electronics delivers continuous customer support to ensure their products perform at their best.
“We offer a three-year no-hassle warranty, for radios and audio accessories,” says Klein. “If anything goes wrong with our product, we replace it with a new one for free. Also, batteries come with a one-year warranty.”
Klein Electronics’ 2-way radios and accessories are available directly from the company’s website or by calling Alex at 1-800-959-2899 x42. Quantity discounts are also available, making it easier for clubs of all sizes to enhance their security systems.
