Megaphones loudspeakers: features, types and models, application
Megaphones loudspeakers are devices that are used in various areas of human life. Thanks to them, it is possible to distribute sound over long distances. Today in our article we will consider the features of these devices, as well as get acquainted with the most popular models.
Peculiarities
Megaphones loudspeakers are devices that are capable of converting electrical signals into sound. In this case, the horn spreads sound over certain distances. The design of the device consists of a number of irreplaceable parts: emitting heads (they act as a sound source) and acoustic design (it is needed to ensure sound propagation).
Devices, called loudspeaker megaphones, are divided into different categories depending on their characteristics. So, for example, depending on the type of sound emission, loudspeakers can be divided into the following options:
- electrodynamic (a distinctive feature is the presence of a coil, which acts as the oscillation of the diffuser, this type is considered the most common and demanded among users);
- electrostatic (the main work in these devices is performed by special thin membranes);
- piezoelectric (they function thanks to the so-called piezoelectric effect);
- electromagnetic (the magnetic field is important);
- ionophone (air vibrations appear due to electric charge).
Thus, there are a large number of loudspeakers, among which you will have to choose the most optimal device for all your individual needs.
Types and models
Today on the market you can find a large number of types and models of horns (for example, a hand-held horn, a device with a battery, a direct emission loudspeaker, a diffuser unit, etc.).
There are the following types of devices:
- single-lane - they operate in a single audio frequency range;
- multiband - the heads of the apparatus can operate in several ranges of sound frequencies;
- horn - in these devices the role of acoustic design is played by a rigid horn.
Consider the most popular and demanded models of megaphones-loudspeakers among consumers.
RM-5S
This model belongs to the category of mini devices, because has a very compact size - accordingly, it can be easily transported from place to place. At the same time, the device has the functions of a voice notification and a siren. In order to power the loudspeaker, you only need 6 AA batteries. The maximum sound range of the device is 50 meters. The package includes not only the megaphone itself, but also a capacity for batteries, instructions and a warranty card.
ER-66SU
This unit has extended functional content... For example, it can function as an MP3 player and also has a dedicated USB port. At the same time, playing music will not interfere with the basic functions of the device, since it can play in the background. The maximum sound range is 0.5 kilometers, which is 10 times more than this characteristic of the device, which was described above. You can turn on the loudspeaker using a special trigger located on the handle.
MG-66S
The device is powered by 8 D type batteries. There is a volume control function and a Siren parameter. The loudspeaker can work continuously for 8 hours.
The design has a special external microphone, so it is not necessary to hold the device constantly in your hands. The kit includes a carrying strap, which increases the convenience of using the model.
MG220
The loudspeaker is perfect for holding and managing a public event on the street. The device is capable of reproducing frequencies in the range from 100Hz to 10KHz. The manufacturer has provided for the use of type C rechargeable batteries. The megaphone comes with a charger, thanks to which you can recharge through the car's cigarette lighter.
RM-15
The power of the device is 10 watts. The functions of the model include speech, siren, volume control. The unit is strong enough and powerful, its body is made of ABS plastic, which makes it impact-resistant.
This device is chosen by those who need a fairly simple loudspeaker without additional functional features.
Accordingly, there are a large number of models on the market, so each user will be able to choose a megaphone that suits all parameters.
Where are they used?
Depending on the functional features of loudspeaker megaphones they can be used in a wide variety of areas of human life.
- As an irreplaceable link in electronic devices (both household and professional) use acoustic devices.
- Subscriber devices are needed for reproduction of channel transmissions with low frequencies of the wire broadcasting network.
- If you need a device with maximum volume and high quality sound transmission, then preference should be given devices related to the category of concert.
- For the correct functioning of warning and control systems by evacuation, there are 3 types of units: for the ceiling, walls and panel. Depending on your specific needs, you should choose one or another option.
- Particularly powerful devices are used as outdoor speakers. They are popularly called the "bell".
- Aggregates that have additional functional features (in particular, anti-shock, anti-explosion and other systems) are intended for use in extreme conditions.
Thus, we can conclude that The megaphone loudspeaker is used for a variety of purposes. It is an integral device for representatives of a large number of professions (for example, for employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations).
