2.0 Introduction
The LRAD
1950XL Long Range Acoustic Device is a powerful acoustic hailer that can be used to
project loud, clearly intelligible messages to targets at distances up to 5 Kilometers (3.1 miles).
The acoustic output from the LRAD projects from the Acoustic Array in a focused 30 degree
“cone” of sound. Sound levels outside of this cone are greatly reduced as a result of the
focused nature of the LRAD’s sound projection.
The LRAD includes a ruggedized MP3 player unit that can be used to store digital audio of any
type, as
well as a handheld microphone for reproducing live spoken messages. The LRAD’s
MP3
player features a built in “Alert Tone” button that instantly broadcasts a loud, piercing alert
sound that can be used to gain
the target’s attention
.
The LRAD
1950XL has the ability to produce a maximum continuous sound pressure level (SPL)
of 155dB at one meter from the front of the device. With this high output, clear audible
messages can be broadcast to targets at ranges of 1600 to 5000 meters, depending on weather
conditions. This high acoustic output is achieved with a peak power consumption of 1120
Watts.
The LRAD operates using AC input power from a 90 to 260 VAC power source at 50 or 60Hz.
The LRAD must be plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.
The LRAD is constructed of materials that are designed to survive in a marine environment with
proper care and maintenance. A carbon-fiber speaker housing is fitted with 316 stainless steel
hardware and other parts that are either powdercoated or hard anodized. The remote portable
amplifier pack and remote MP3 control unit are environmentally sealed and can be used in all
weather conditions. For further information on environmental specifications for this product,
see the Specifications section of this manual.
