LT-PMS Series Info...

               The LT-PMS (Long Throw-Planar Magnetic Speaker) series is a collection of      speakers designed specifically for long throw, speech transmission. Tailored with a      frequency response that is perfectly match for the voice range, the LT-PMS planar      systems can transmit a live or prerecorded spoken message with perfect      articulation(1). Even at maximum volume, the sound remains absolutely clear and      distortion is virtually undetectable.

          The secret to the LT-PMS exceptional performance is the MAD-1 planar      driver. This highly efficient, full range speaker when used in a single driver        configuration, has a frequency response from 180 Hz to 18 KHz. In addition, the      diaphragm’s extremely low mass produces a lightning fast response which explains      why the LT-PMS systems have such exceptional clarity and intelligibility. With just      one driver, the commanding power, throw distance, and vocal clarity from a      single speaker is startling. When multiple drivers are used together in a single      enclosure, the acoustical results are absolutely staggering!

          The seven speakers in this series are all built around the same MAD-1 driver.      The speaker’s model number indicates how many drivers are used in each unit.      As more drivers are combined together, two significant performance      characteristics change. The speaker produced greater volume and the dispersion      pattern tapers down into a smaller, tighter area. With a tighter pattern and      more available power, these speakers can produce a longer throw while      maintaining their clarity and volume. Since the volume from planar speakers falls      off at a much lower rate than conventional speakers, typically 1.5 dB for each      doubling of distance, the potential working distance from the LT-PMS devices is      unmatched by any other product.

Actual distance and SPL performance may vary from the distances listed as a result of adverse weather conditions, variable atmospheric conditions, variations in the physical terrain, and other unpredictable human factors.

Potential throw distances & coverage angles for LT-PMS speakers
Speaker Model	Number of Drivers*	Range of Useful Throw Distance	Dispersion Angle
LT-PMS-1HH	1 w/Wave Guide	50-200 meters	30°H x 20°V
LT-PMS-2B	2 w/Wave Guides	100-400 meters	20°H x 20°V
LT-PMS-4B	4 w/Wave Guides	200-600 meters	15°H x 15°V
LT-PMS-6B	6 w/Wave Guides	300-800 meters	10°H x 10°V
LT-PMS-24	24 w/o Wave Guides	600-1200 meters	5°H x 5°V
LT-PMS-24/WG500	24 w/Wave Guides	650-1300 meters	5°H x 5°V
LT-PMS-54	54 w/o Wave Guides	800-1400 meters	3°H x 3°V
LT-PMS-54/WG500	54 w/Wave Guides	850-1500 meters	3°H x 3°V
LT-PMS-96	96 w/o Wave Guides	1000-2000 meters	2°H x 2°V

          *All of the LT-PMS speakers can be equipped with a wave guide assembly. By      mounting this four-sided acoustical device in front of the driver, the mid-band's           acoustical output is increased and the speaker’s overall sensitivity is elevated by          approximately 5 dB. The chart above shows how the speaker’s throw distance is          increased when using the wave guide compared to identical devices without the          wave guide.

          LT series speaker are all powered and include a 3 input mixer to      accommodate one microphone and 2 line inputs. In addition some units are      battery powered and can operate at maximum volume for over 10 hours on a      single charge. Other options available on selected models include the following.
          • Tripod mounts for stationary ground support.
          • Custom mounts to attach speakers to bicycles, ATV (All Terrain Vehicles),                golf carts, utility vehicles, cars & trucks, boats and aircraft.
          • A motorized pan and tilt assembly to allow precise remote aiming and                control.
          • A wireless headset microphone system that can be used with any LT                speaker.

LT-PMS USERS...

          The clarity and size of the LT-PMS series makes them a powerful tool      especially in situation where clear and articulate verbal instructions or commands      must be understood. Applications where LT-PMS systems are currently in use      include:
          •   Law Enforcement: bicycle and patrol cars, crown control, SWAT mobile                 command centers.
          •   Military Training: training facilities, mobile command centers &                check-points.
          •   Harbor Patrol: safety, security, & drug interdiction.
          •   Maritime: hailing and security.

In recent months, the Los Angels Police Department (LAPD) and the Orange County Sheriff Department have used several LT-PMS models to help maintain civil order at events where thousands of people had gathered for public demonstrations. Of one particular event with the LAPD, Deputy Chief Mike Hillman wrote to Vahan Simidian, CEO of HPV Technologies, with these observations about the effectiveness of their MAD speakers.

“Vahan,

Thank you so much for all of your help. I have heard so much about you and your dedication to public safety and finally, I was able to meet you.

     You have a tremendous reputation within our community. The new audio system has revolutionized the way bicycle patrol officers do their job."

      As you can see we (LAPD) have a lot of heart and need your assistance. I believe your product will greatly enhance our (as well as others) ability to manage crowds. Your attention to our needs cannot be appreciated enough.

     You are great. Thanks!
     Deputy Chief Mike Hillmann, LAPD”

Mr. Vahan Simidian II:

Sir,

Thank you very much for your support and dedication in assisting local law enforcement agencies. Your cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department has been greatly appreciated. You have enhanced our communication abilities with the use of your Magnetic Audio Devices. Deputy Chief Hillmann extends his appreciation and authorizes you to quote him in saying, 'This new audio system has revolutionized the way bicycle patrol officers do their job'.
