SAN DIEGO, Aug. 15, 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 $1.9 million international public safety order for LRAD 1000X and LRAD 500X systems and accessories. Shipments under the order are scheduled to begin this quarter and conclude early next quarter.

"Law enforcement and public safety officials around the world are utilizing LRAD® systems for a variety of applications," remarked Tom Brown, LRAD Corporation's president and CEO. "Due to their exceptional clarity and range, LRAD systems are proving invaluable for communicating to crowds during large outdoor events. LRAD systems are also being used to peacefully end hostage negotiations, safely conduct SWAT operations and warrant service, conduct search and rescue operations, and communicate potentially lifesaving information to those affected by natural or man-made disasters."
 
Using proprietary technology and innovative designs, LRAD systems generate nearly 100% intelligible voice broadcasts from 200 meters to over 3.5 kilometers, providing public safety personnel with the capability of issuing clear, authoritative voice communications and warning tones to safely create large standoff zones, alleviate conflicts, and save lives on both sides of the Long Range Acoustic Device®. Due to its extended frequency range, LRAD ensures voice communications in any language are clearly heard and understood over crowd and traffic noise, and inside buildings and vehicles.
