2.0 Introduction
The LRAD-450XL Long Range Acoustic Device is a powerful acoustic hailer that can be used to
project loud, clearly intelligible voice messages to targets at distances up to 1700 meters. 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 hand-held Control
Module that can be used to store digital audio, as well as a handheld microphone for
reproducing live spoken messages. The LRAD’s MP3 Control Module features a built in ALERT
TONE button that instantly broadcasts a loud, piercing alert sound that can be used to gain a
target’s attention.
The LRAD-450XL is a DC powered unit that is meant to be powered from a 12 to 28 VDC power
source (not included) such as a vehicle or boat battery.
