LRAD


An ear-death experience. Wonder if any leading audiophile engineers participated in its creation. I kinda hoped a speaker may be the last thing I hear, but not this one.

This is somehow reminding me of the original purpose of what finally became the Klipsch La Scala. It was a bandstand speaker created for broadcasting  political speeches to a crowd as when Rockeller was campaigning in Arkansas.

By the way, we  are not trolling. We are elving humorousness.

 

 

We seem to accept noise pollution as routine. From omnipresent aircraft to the perpetual insanity of leafblowers and back-up beepers, the cacophony is relentless. I've often read social media retorts where unsavory folks use yard machines to intentionally annoy neighbors. 

Does anyone find this sad or troubling that a speaker can be a weapon?

Kate Bush has a wonderful song called 'Experiment IV', which is about a secret military experiment to build a weapon that would create a sound that could kill someone. Great song and great video to go with it. 

I know a very very good mech engineer that works for the company. They are local to me. The company supplies their products to the police, fire and military, primarily. Although a few billionaires have been known to buy their gear as well. 

The company has nothing to do with consumer audio, but i think if they did dip their toes into those waters, they could do well.

BTW, their products are not designed for crowd control, more for public address notification.
