I beleive we were the first company to develope a full mil-spec class "D" audio amplifier. Each amp module produced 300 watts RMS and that met 461D EMI mil spec. We are still building and supporting these units. We have had some units come back from the field that were in fires from IED's hittin HUMVEES and the powder coat paint was burnt off and the rubber was melted in the connectors, but they still worked. The NGLS has been a complete flop as we understand it. An Alaskan firm has burned through 15 million dollars sofar in the last four years and are three years behing schedule and are still getting funded for junk. Our company has developed an equivelent NGLS for a sell price of a third of what a NGLS will cost and is aviable today. This little unit weighs under 16 pounds in puts out 131db at a meter. Its ironic we are selling these systems to Columbia under US funding and the Columbian military have the newer and better systems then the US military. We just did a shoot out down there with an LRAD an we were louder at one mile AGL then the LRAD at a third of the price. We are developing 155db at a meter. This is a far-field measurement at 4 meters intorpolated back to 1 meter. When I was testing through the sweep there were things that vibrated on my body that I don't think should be, Owell I survied. Do a Google search for NGLS looudspeaker and you can see are unit in action.<br />Cheers<br />TomTomhttp://VMI.comnoreply@blogger.com
