Can LRAD deliver commands more clearly?

In scenarios such as security defense, emergency response, and border control, the clear delivery of instructions is crucial for ensuring the efficient progress of tasks and avoiding misjudgments. As a representative device in the field of directional acoustic wave technology, AHD (Acoustic Hailing Device) directly affects the effectiveness and safety in practical applications regarding its ability to deliver instructions clearly. Based on Ribri's in-depth experience in the acoustic technology field and the technical characteristics of AHD equipment, we can comprehensively analyze the advantages of AHD in delivering instructions clearly from multiple dimensions, including equipment principles, performance parameters, and practical application scenarios.

Core Technical Support for AHD's Clear Instruction Delivery

The reason why AHD can achieve efficient instruction delivery lies in its unique acoustic design and technical configuration. From "directional transmission" to "signal optimization", every technology ensures the clarity of instructions.

In terms of technical principles, AHD adopts a high-directionality acoustic array design, which can concentrate sound energy within a range of ±15°, preventing sound from spreading to irrelevant directions during propagation. This design significantly reduces the interference of environmental noise on instruction signals. Even in noisy assembly sites, bustling port terminals, or border areas with howling winds, the concentrated acoustic beam can cut through the background noise, allowing personnel in the target area to clearly capture the content of instructions.

In terms of hardware configuration, Ribri's series of equipment are equipped with optimized drivers and professional waveguide structures. Taking the RP11C as an example, its driver has been precisely adjusted to effectively filter out noise in the sound signal and retain the key frequencies of human voice instructions. The waveguide design further optimizes the sound propagation path, ensuring that each syllable is transmitted stably and coherently, and avoiding the blurring of instructions caused by sound wave reflection and refraction. At the same time, some high-end models, such as the RH series, are also integrated with high-definition cameras, long-range searchlights, laser dazzlers, laser rangefinders, and precision pan-tilt systems. Operators can lock the target area through visual assistance and adjust the direction of the acoustic wave, enabling the precise coverage of the target by instructions and further improving the clarity of delivery.

In addition, AHD equipment has the characteristics of high sound intensity output (for example, the peak sound pressure level of the RP41C can reach 158 dB) and long sound propagation distance. On land, the original sound can be clearly heard 1000 meters away; on the sea, the effective propagation distance extends to 1500 meters; in the actual marine environment, some high-end models can still ensure the intelligibility of instructions when broadcasting warnings to targets 2 kilometers away. This advantage of long distance and high sound intensity allows Ribri to clearly deliver instructions without approaching the target when dealing with long-distance scenarios (such as maritime anti-smuggling and border security), which not only ensures the safety of operators but also avoids the attenuation of instructions caused by excessive distance.

Clarity Performance of AHD Instruction Delivery in Different Scenarios

The clarity advantage of AHD is not limited to laboratory environments. In a variety of practical application scenarios, the effect of its instruction delivery has been verified, adapting to the needs of multiple fields such as security defense, emergency response, and special control.

In security defense scenarios, such as handling illegal assemblies or securing major facilities, AHD can break through complex noisy environments such as crowd commotion and equipment rumbling to clearly deliver evacuation instructions or warning information. For example, in the security work of large-scale events, if there is local crowd gathering and chaos, security personnel can use AHD to broadcast instructions such as "Please evacuate to the safe area in order" to the target area. The high-directionality acoustic beam can accurately cover the gathering area, preventing the instructions from being drowned out by noise in other areas and reducing interference to irrelevant crowds. There are cases showing that in the security work of a port infrastructure, AHD equipment successfully penetrated the mechanical operation noise 300 meters away and delivered the instruction "Stay away from the no-navigation area immediately" to the ships approaching the restricted area. The ship operators clearly received and responded in a timely manner, effectively avoiding potential safety hazards.

In emergency response scenarios, such as personnel search and rescue or evacuation after disasters like earthquakes and floods, AHD's ability to deliver clearly over long distances plays a key role. Disaster sites are often accompanied by the sound of building collapses, the operation of rescue equipment, and the cries of trapped personnel. The sound of traditional loudspeakers is easily covered by this noise, while AHD can directionally broadcast comforting instructions or rescue guidance information such as "Please stay calm, rescuers are approaching" to the suspected trapped areas. In a mountain search and rescue mission, the rescue team used AHD equipment to deliver instructions to the valley area. Even in an environment with a wind speed of 5 meters per second, the trapped personnel 500 meters away could still clearly hear the guidance content of "Move towards the source of the sound", and finally the rescue time was successfully shortened.

In special control scenarios, such as bird control and maritime anti-smuggling, the clarity of AHD's instruction delivery is also outstanding. In the bird control work on airport runways, AHD can directionally broadcast warning sounds of specific frequencies (simulating the calls of natural enemies or high-frequency warning sounds) to the bird habitats around the runway, and at the same time, match with voice instructions of "No staying" (for personnel who may approach the runway). The high-clarity signal can ensure that birds perceive the threat and stay away, and at the same time, allow the field staff to clearly receive the control instructions. In maritime anti-smuggling scenarios, customs personnel can use ship-mounted AHD to deliver the instruction "Stop the ship immediately for inspection" to suspicious ships. Even in an environment where the ship is  due to wave impact and the sea wind is howling, the crew of the suspicious ship 500 meters away can still clearly capture the instruction, avoiding the situation of resisting inspection or misjudgment caused by unclear instructions.

Ribri's Quality Assurance for AHD Instruction Clarity

The ability of AHD equipment to deliver clear instructions not only depends on technical design but also relies on quality control in the production and manufacturing process. As an enterprise deeply engaged in the acoustic technology field, Ribri's full-process control from research and development, production to testing provides a solid guarantee for the clarity of AHD equipment.

Since its establishment in 2006, Ribri has always focused on the research and development of acoustic technology. Its factory located in Tianjin covers an area of over 2600 square meters and is equipped with standardized production facilities and a professional R&D team. To ensure the stable acoustic performance of AHD equipment, the factory has a semi-anechoic chamber certified by a metrology institution. In the semi-anechoic chamber, R&D personnel can simulate different environmental noises (such as urban hustle and bustle, sea wind and waves, mechanical noise, etc.) to repeatedly test and adjust the clarity of AHD equipment's instruction delivery, ensuring that the equipment can maintain the best performance in various complex environments.

In terms of product quality certification, Ribri's AHD series equipment have all passed the IP66 protection certification and CE certification. The IP66 certification means that the equipment has the ability to be dust-proof and resistant to strong water splashing. Even in outdoor environments with heavy rain and dusty conditions, the internal acoustic components can work normally, avoiding sound distortion caused by water ingress and dust accumulation, and ensuring the clarity of instruction delivery. The CE certification indicates that the equipment complies with the strict safety, health and environmental protection standards of the European Union. From the selection of raw materials to the production process, all have undergone strict inspections to ensure that the acoustic performance of the equipment will not attenuate due to component aging during long-term use.

In addition, Ribri also provides full-chain customized solutions. According to the special needs of customers in different industries (such as border control requiring a longer transmission distance, emergency rescue requiring a more portable equipment form), the R&D team can make personalized adjustments to the acoustic parameters and structural design of the AHD equipment. For example, optimizing the low-temperature adaptability and acoustic wave wind interference resistance of the equipment for customers in high-altitude border areas to ensure that instructions can still be clearly delivered in extreme environments; customizing portable AHD equipment for urban emergency teams to improve the mobility and operational convenience of the equipment while ensuring clarity. This customized service makes the clarity advantage of AHD more accurately adapt to the needs of different scenarios and further enhances its practical application value.

Clarity Comparison Between AHD and Traditional Sound Amplification Equipment

Compared with traditional sound amplification equipment (such as hand-held loudspeakers and public address systems), AHD has more significant advantages in the clarity of instruction delivery. This gap is mainly reflected in three core dimensions: anti-interference ability, directionality, and propagation stability.

In terms of anti-interference ability, most traditional sound amplification equipment emit sound in an omnidirectional manner, resulting in scattered sound energy and easy coverage by environmental noise. For example, when using a traditional loudspeaker to broadcast instructions in a crowded square, the sound will spread around, part of the energy is absorbed by the crowd and reflected by buildings, and when it reaches the target area, it has become weak and mixed with a lot of environmental noise, leading to a significant reduction in the recognition of instructions. However, AHD's high-directionality design can avoid this problem by concentrating the sound on the target area. Even in the same noisy environment, the signal-to-noise ratio (the ratio of signal to noise) of the instructions is much higher than that of traditional equipment, and the clarity of the instructions received by the target personnel is increased by 6-8 times (taking the RP11C as an example, its performance is 30-40 decibels better than the best traditional speakers on the market).

In terms of directionality control, traditional sound amplification equipment cannot accurately adjust the sound coverage range, which is prone to the problems of "excessive instruction coverage" or "insufficient coverage". Excessive coverage may cause irrelevant personnel to receive instructions by mistake, leading to chaos; insufficient coverage will prevent the target personnel from hearing the content clearly. AHD's 30° acoustic beam realizes the accurate coverage of long-distance instructions. This precise directionality allows AHD to ensure the clear delivery of instructions in complex scenarios while reducing the impact on irrelevant areas.

In terms of propagation stability, the sound propagation distance of traditional sound amplification equipment is short and is greatly affected by the environment. When encountering obstacles (such as buildings and trees), the sound is easily blocked or reflected, leading to the breakage and blurring of instructions. However, relying on its high sound intensity and optimized waveguide design, AHD not only has a long propagation distance but also can partially penetrate obstacles (such as some buildings), ensuring that the instructions can still be stably delivered in complex terrain. For example, in urban areas with dense buildings, when a traditional loudspeaker delivers instructions to a distance of 50 meters, some areas may not receive them due to building 遮挡;while AHD can penetrate low-rise buildings, allowing target personnel 500 meters away to still clearly hear the instructions, showing an obvious advantage in stability.

In conclusion, from technical principles, scenario applications to quality assurance, AHD has the core ability to deliver instructions clearly. Its characteristics of high directionality, high sound intensity, and anti-interference make it an efficient communication tool in fields such as security defense and emergency response. Whether dealing with noisy environments, long-distance scenarios, or complex terrain, AHD can break through the limitations of traditional equipment, allowing instructions to reach the target accurately and clearly, and providing reliable support for the smooth progress of various tasks.
