TAKING YOUR BUSINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Demonstration of HyperSpike LineWave modular line-source acoustics system at NASA-KSC launch pad 39b, 8 module array produces more than 165db on just 2400w and premium long range voice and alert tone performance. This system can produce high intelligibility paging at greater than 1.6 km distance and cover more than 13 square kilometers of area!

The JFK Hangar project came about per the agencies need for intelligible voice communication within this oversized facility, which houses up to (4) 737’s.

Original project specified (75) 15W cluster speakers. This solution provided adequate intelligibility in an empty hangar. When aircraft were present in the facility, the reverberation significantly reduced the intelligibility.

The HyperSpike solution called for (10) LineWave 16 speakers along the walls at listener height. This reconfigured design overcame the reverberation from aircraft in the hangar, and delivered highly intelligible voice throughout the entire facility.

HyperSpike® evaluated the same 1600 ft2 section and utilized 8 TCPA-10 speakers tapped at 24W (192W total) placed at an approximate mounting height of 25 feet and achieved 95 dB SPL. As a result, less labor was required to install the 8 HyperSpike® speakers versus the currently specified 41.

The conclusion was that utilizing the HyperSpike® solution will significantly save the automotive manufacturer money because it will require less labor, minimal disruption to the production line during installation, and less life-cycle maintenance. HyperSpike® industry leading speech clarity (>.88 CIS/.75 STI score) enabled facility employees to clearly understand emergency voice messages and alert tones in a high ambient environment.
