If you’ve been following the protests going on around the world and heard the term LRAD, it stands for Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD). This acoustic technology, developed by LRAD Corporation, transmits warning tones over longer distances or at higher volume compared to normal loudspeakers. They can be used as a means of non-lethal, non-kinetic crowd control.
These systems can weigh anywhere from 15 lb to 320 lb and emit sound in a 30°–60° beam at 2.5 kHz. They are typically used by law enforcement, government and defense agencies, to broadcast audible notifications as well as warnings over a distance. LRAD systems can also be used to deter wildlife from airport runways, wind / solar farms, nuclear power plants, gas / oil platforms, and mining operations.
- WIRELESS BLUETOOTH STREAMING: Wirelessly connect up to 2 smartphones or tablets to the speaker and take turns enjoying powerful sound.
- UP TO 20 HOURS OF PLAYTIME: Built-in rechargeable Li-ion 7500mAH battery supports up to 20 hours of playtime and charges your device via USB port
- IPX7 WATERPROOF: Take Charge 4 to the beach or the pool without worrying about spills or even submersion in water
