Hornmassive

I was reading the BoingBoing website (www.boingboing.net) this morning and found this blurb on a massive horn system:

Honrmassive is a 2000 watt horn sound system that can "project 'content'" up to a kilometer. It's been heard at Burning Man, the Coachella Valley Music Festival, and a few other big blow-outs. From Hornmassive.com:
http://www.boingboing.net/images/_back.jpg
HORNMASSIVE (2004) (Matt Hope) is a 2 Ton (4500 Lbs US), 3.5 M by 3.1 M by 4 M mobile 2000 watt steel and aluminium horn sound system, all powered from a commercial 12” speaker driver. It functions as a mobile audio input station... (and is) designed to be the ultimate monophonic sound projector intended to catalyze social activities in multiple settings.

Hornies are freaky (sometimes of course), look here:

I like the snow horn (with hot music).

Like an offer you can't refuse. I have a feeling this guy is looking for government contracts.

No - the LRAD folks are looking for contracts ... http://www.atcsd.com/lrad.html
LRAD stands for Long Range Accoustic Device - (I kid you not) ...
It uses tightly focussed high-level sound to drive off ... undesirables ...
