SAN DIEGO, Aug. 1, 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 $760,000 LRAD 500X systems and support equipment order from the Middle East. The order is scheduled to ship this quarter with the LRAD systems being deployed for public safety applications including crowd and riot control.
"The attention commanding, highly intelligible long range communication our LRAD systems deliver is an essential capability for public safety officials when responding to civil unrest," commented Tom Brown, president and CEO of LRAD Corporation. "LRAD's unprecedented range, vocal clarity and presence can alleviate the use of kinetic non-lethal and lethal means to keep the peace and prevent violence."
The LRAD 500X produces nearly 100% intelligible voice broadcasts from 200 meters to over 2 kilometers, providing public safety personnel with the means to issue clear, authoritative voice commands and warning tones to safely create large standoff zones, determine intent, support peaceful conflict resolution, and save lives on both sides of the Long Range Acoustic Device®. The extended frequency range of the LRAD 500X ensures voice commands in any language are clearly heard and understood over crowd and traffic noise, and inside buildings and vehicles.
