IP Horn Speaker with Strobe Light | AFLS-H-P High-Volume Audio
Unmistakable. Unmissable. Unambiguous IP Horn Speaker with Strobe Light Overview The AFLS-H-P is the world’s first IP-based horn speaker that combines high-volume audio broadcasting capabilities with a powerful, configurable LED strobe light in a single device. Equipped with these unique capabilities, it is designed to effectively amplify any message – from preventive warning and de-escalation announcements to alerts and everyday information broadcasts – by addressing the eyes as well as the ears. Unmistakable. Unmissable. Unambiguous Imagine driving to work one sunny day. Suddenly you catch the reflection of a blue flashing light in your side-view mirror. Although the emergency vehicle is still quite far behind you, it has already caught your attention. Why is that? Our brain is a masterful detector of change. Evolutionarily speaking, we are programmed to react to sudden environmental stimuli at lightning speed. A powerful flashing light perfectly simulates the type of movement and triggers our instinctive response, instantly and irresistibly directing our focus towards the source of the signal. Highlights Technical Data Applications Attention in a fraction of a second Impossible to ignore The human brain is a masterful detector of change and is evolutionarily programmed to respond with lightning-fast reactions to sudden environmental stimuli (predator/prey). While acoustic warning signals and voice announcements play an essential part in security technology, our visual system is biologically wired to react much faster when stimulated by light signals. A powerful flashing light perfectly simulates the type of movement that ‘tricks’ our brain into focussing immediately and automatically on the light source. In emergency situations and security applications, every second (or even fraction of a second) counts. A well-balanced combination of light and sound ensures that your warning is not just heard but triggers an instant cognitive response in the recipient. Immediate attention Visual signals are processed even faster than purely auditory signals. Cuts through ambient noise In sound-polluted environments (e.g., on-road traffic or industrial facilities), audio-only announcements may be drowned out, while the strobe light instantly draws people’s attention to the speaker and the announcement. Faster response The combined audiovisual approach effectively reduces response times. Universal intelligibility Colour codes (e.g., red signalling danger), as well as light effects (e.g., flashing) are instantly recognisable across language barriers. As a result, the message is received and understood instinctively without further explanation, even by hearing impaired persons. Proactive remote addressing The combination of a live audio message with a visual warning light enables instant protective intervention, deterring or de-escalation via a remote point of control. This enables immediate on-site presence without the need to deploy security staff. Changed Texts Dual-sensory principle NEW Headline Also new text Technical Data Extra-high volume capacity: A high-efficiency amplifier powered by SmartAmp technology delivers a maximum of sound volume while keeping energy consumption at a minimum. Dynamic LED strobe light: The light source can be configured individually to suit different scenarios, with options including various colours and flashing patterns. IP66 and IK10 rated, built to withstand harsh ambient conditions System integration: Packed with on-board features from SIP to API and I/Os, including ONVIF support, the speakers integrate smoothly and easily into VMS, PSIM or other security management platforms. AI-assisted two-way communication: The integrated microphone (which can also be disabled) leverages AI-based noise and echo suppression technologies to ensure crystal-clear audio communication. Cyber Security ‘By Design’: Protection against cyber attacks is essential, particularly in exposed outdoor areas. Thanks to Active Device Management ( Symphony Service ), your speakers receive automatic updates and remain optimally protected against cyber threats at all times. Genuine single-wire solution: While conventional systems often require separate wiring for audio lines and strobe lights, the Commend IP speaker offers an all-in-one Ethernet cable connection (standard Power over Ethernet / PoE). Intelligent Volume Control (IVC): The system continuously measures ambient noise levels and adjusts the volume setting automatically for optimum clarity and intelligibility. Remote System Health Monitoring: Using built-in speaker-to-microphone monitoring and end-to-end connection testing, the system ensures continuous functionality without the need for manual inspections. Audio Monitoring: The speaker comes with the ability to continuously monitor the acoustic environment, which allows it to automatically trigger alerts in case a pre-defined noise level is detected. The noise level readings can be relayed to a central system at definable intervals – e.g., to populate the noise map of a city or industrial facility with current values. From reactive observation to proactive intervention Applications Surveillance cameras are limited to the observation of events, without the ability to intervene. The Commend Symphony IP Horn Speaker lets you intervene directly, helping you to protect lives and assets. Transform your security system into a proactive tool for remote-controlled action: Event-specific trigger mechanism: Cameras and sensors detect an incident and trigger an automatic announcement, accompanied by an attention-compelling light signal. Direct-address function: Staff at a central control desk can use their desktop microphone to make live announcements, accompanied by appropriate light signals to attract attention and support de-escalation. Protection of perimeters & critical infrastructures Safeguard critical infrastructures, data centres and large company premises with a combined visual and acoustic barrier that deters intruders before they can reach or breach the fence line or causes one to flee the scene. Smart Cities & Remote Intervention Improve video surveillance through efficient remote control, using audio announcements and light signalling to de-escalate critical situations in inner-city environments. Industrial facilities & large-scale company premises Reliable alarm support for industrial applications, with additional light signals in the form of flash bursts to prevent audio messages from being overheard. Safe evacuation guidance A clearly visible light signal directs evacuees in quick and easily understandable fashion to emergency assembly points. At the same time, the built-in two-way communication line helps to provide reassurance and ensure a well-coordinated evacuation process. Protection of open spaces and sensitive areas Leverage the interplay of light and automatic audio playback to kindly but firmly warn off people, e.g. if they are not allowed on the premises outside business hours or without proper authorisation.

What makes the Commend Symphony IP Horn Speaker AFLS-H-P stand out? In addition to providing high volume and excellent speech intelligibility, the device features a unique built-in LED strobe light that engages the visual sense to attract people’s attention to announcements being broadcast. Which colours are supported by the strobe light? Which colours are supported by the strobe light? Depending on the application scenario and the desired effect (e.g., warning, deterring or de-escalating), various lighting modes such as flashing, flashing speed or steady light can be configured, and the colours red, green, blue, white, orange and pink are supported. Why is direct confrontation the most effective way to ward off intruders? Why is direct confrontation the most effective way to ward off intruders? Studies and statistical evaluations conducted by security service providers have shown that the effectiveness of IP Speakers rests on three key functions: Removing anonymity: Perpetrators will feel safe as long as they believe themselves to be undetected. Addressing an intruder directly, as in “The person in the red jacket, please leave the premises immediately!” lets them know that they have been detected and are being monitored. Raising an intruder’s risk of detection: According to the “Rational Choice Approach” in criminology, perpetrators will give up once their risk (of being detected) exceeds their envisioned benefit. Shock effect: Sudden acoustic signals or voice sound will trigger an instinctive escape reflex. An additional visual signal can amplify this effect significantly. Is the speaker also suitable for extremely noisy environments? Is the speaker also suitable for extremely noisy environments? Yes, the speaker is built specifically for use in environments that are subject to high and changeable levels of noise pollution. Its built-in Intelligent Volume Control (IVC) function allows it to automatically adjust the volume setting to the ambient noise level.

AI Cleans Voice from Noise Technology
Perfect Speech Intelligibility AI Cleans Voice from Noise Overview In emergency situations like accidents on the road or in a factory, every second counts. If background noise or echo effects distort the spoken word or make it completely unintelligible, people’s health or even lives are at stake. Our AI Cleans Voice from Noise technology is the game-changing solution to the background noise problem. Using an AI-based technique known as ‘deep neural networks’, the solution is able to eliminate background noise and enhance the voice signal to an amazing quality level. The result is similar to direct face-to-face communication in a noise-free environment. Trusted Voice To actually clean voice from noise, we worked in close research cooperation with the Institute for Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz . With joint forces we have been able to significantly optimize the signal processing of our Intercom module im3 and the Intercom station od1. The result is a voice profile that shines with an unprecedented level of clarity and intelligibility , much like a high-quality transmission in a noiseless environment. How it works The secret to this lies in so-called deep neural networks . Deep Neural Networks are like interconnected networks of artificial brain cells that learn from data to solve various kinds of problems, similar to how our brains learn from experiences to make decisions. They ensure that the voice signals during calls are cleaned completely from ambient noise and echoes during transmission. We have always been proud of our high-quality voice transmission. With the trained neural networks we have now raised the quality mark even higher for our Trusted Voice. Any residual noise is suppressed to near perfection, as the result of a comprehensive training process using standardized machine learning algorithms . By feeding them countless hours of audio data, they are systematically ‘taught’ the desired recognition capability. The neural network now reacts with extreme precision to the many different challenges of everyday life – things like different voices and a wide spectrum of ambient noise in a variety of situations. We encourage you to hear the exceptional result for yourself:
