Long Range Horn Array Speaker Technology by TOA : DigInfo

DigInfo - http://www.diginfo.tv

TOA exhibited sample speakers developed using long range horn array speaker technology at Inter BEE 2008 (2008 International Broadcast Equipment Exhibition).

The long range horn array speaker technology is technology that enables ultra wideband sound transmission at distances up to 10km by aligning horn speakers lengthwise. The technology controls directional quality using the line array effect and reduces the leakage of sound to areas outside the targeted area.

Because the speaker array is compact, it is easy to setup and take down, and because it is powered by 1kW of power, it can be plugged into a portable generator for use during an emergency or such.

In addition to use during disasters, the company also anticipates use at large, outdoor events and at beach resorts.

Sales are slated to begin in April 2009 on a built-to-order basis.

I'd be more impressed if they built a subwoofer that could shake the earth with a few noticeable pounds that would let people know where to go for supplies, also the pound would have to not disrupt the earth itself... now that, would be interesting. But I know low frequencies can't travel too far unless they're extremely great, but then shattering occurs at the start location.
