Published on: July 28th, 2005 01:44pm by: hubermultimedia
Alcoa and Brentwood, TN (OPENPRESS) July 29, 2005 -- Multi-Media Solutions, Inc. (MMS) announced today that it is demonstrating two innovative acoustic advances from American Technology Corporation (ATC) at the Audio Visual Technology Showcase 2005 being held August 17, 2005 at the Knoxville Convention Center.
In what promises to be a dramatic event, the first acoustic demonstration will feature ATC’s HyperSonic® Sound (HSS®) directional audio system. HSS is a revolutionary directed sound generation technology that broadcasts audio content directly to an intended audience, focusing sound in an extremely tight beam. HSS technology uses highly directional ultrasonic columns to provide extremely accurate control of sound placement. While operating in Direct Mode, HSS provides private listening for an individual by focusing and restricting sound to a specific location. In Virtual Mode, HSS creates a virtual speaker by projecting sound towards a surface causing listeners to perceive the sound source as originating from that specific location.
ATC’s Medium Range Acoustic Device (MRAD™), intended for government, military and paramilitary use, will also be demonstrated. MRAD is a breakthrough medium-range hailing and warning device designed to communicate with authority, affect behavior, and help determine intent up to 500 feet with clarity and directionality. This engineered sound solution enables users to communicate with intelligibility, clarity and authority to ensure that their message is heard. Beyond its significant and diverse military uses, MRAD can be utilized in many non-military applications including:
• Disaster control
• Emergency evacuations
• Ship to ship and ship to shore communications
• Use in dams/locks for traffic control
• Perimeter enforcement
HSS and MRAD are based on proprietary technologies developed by San Diego-based, American Technology Corporation. ATC is Shaping the Future of Sound® by offering its innovative sound reproduction technologies and products to commercial, government and military markets throughout the world. MMS is one of ATC’s authorized and trained distributors.
HSS system demonstrations will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the exhibit area. MRAD demonstrations are scheduled for 11:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
