LRAD Corporation Receives $580,000 Order for Wildl

SAN DIEGO, July 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LRAD Corporation (Nasdaq: LRAD ), the world's leading provider of long range acoustic hailing devices (AHDs), announced today it has received a $580,000 LRAD systems and support equipment order for wildlife preservation and control from DeTect, Inc. ( http://www.detect-inc.com ). The order is anticipated to ship this quarter.

"Due to the success of earlier installations, an international mining concern is expanding their use of LRAD systems integrated with DeTect's avian radar," remarked Tom Brown, president and CEO of LRAD Corporation. "The near infinite variety of tones and sounds that can be recorded and broadcast through our Long Range Acoustic Devices® prevent birds from becoming habituated to the repetitive noises produced by legacy wildlife control measures including propane cannons and cracker shells."

For wildlife applications, LRAD systems use directionality and focused acoustic output to clearly transmit a variety of tones, sounds and predator calls from 200 meters to over 2 km. (for more information, please go to: http://www.lradx.com/site/content/view/268/110 ). 

"LRAD systems are highly effective in keeping birds and wildlife away from hazardous areas," Brown added. "Whether manually operated, integrated into remotely controlled command and control centers or enhanced with avian radar for automated incursion response, LRAD safely and humanely preserves wildlife and protects critical assets."
