ULTRANOISE & ULTRASOUND
Operating modes ULTRANOISE and ULTRASOUND are 2 different algorithms of
formation of ultrasonic noise.
COMMON IN ULTRANOISE AND ULTRASOUND MODES
Ultrasonic carrier is modulated by noise signal of audible range. In sound recorder
microphone this modulated signal turns into loud noise which covers all other
sounds. In the 2nd generation jammers, 2 ultrasonic frequencies are used, which
significantly expands the number of types of recording devices suppressed.
DIFFERENCES IN ULTRANOISE AND ULTRASOUND
The main difference is the modulation depth of the ultrasonic carrier. Ultranoise
mode has maximum depth of modulation, which provides maximum suppression,
but the signal of the jammer is heard by the human ear as a sound resembling the
background AC sound of unattached loudspeaker. In Ultrasound mode the
jammer is almost silent, but the radius of suppression decreases approximately
1.3 - 1.5 times.
CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
At the back panel of the speaker there is a power connector, red power button
combined with on/off indicator and green Ultranoise/Ultrasound switch button. In
rare need to reduce the power of the jammer, it can be done using the switch on
the power supply adapter (See Power Adjustment).
USAGE
To activate the device, just connect the power supply and press the red button. It
is advisable to point the jammer toward possible location of sound recording
device. Often the optimal location of the suppressor is under the table, as close as
possible to the place of the probable location of an audio recorder. We
recommend using the jammer without decorative cover, as its fabric absorbs
about 10% of the power of ultrasound.
SWITCHING JAMMING MODES
In ULTRANOISE mode the sound of the jammer is perceived by the human ear as a
light crackling. If you want the suppressor to work as quietly as possible, you
should enable silent mode ULTRASOUND by pressing the green button.
POWER ADJUSTMENT
If it is necessary to reduce the power of ultrasound, voltage can be reduced from
12 to 9 or 7.5 volts. To do this, unplug the AC adapter and switch the yellow arrow
to the desired voltage using the key that came with the power supply. Do not
install the power supply voltage below 7.5 volts.
CONDITIONS OF EXPLOITATION
SPYSONIC 21XL+ can be used over a wide temperature range (-20⁰C ... + 50⁰C) with
humidity up to 95%. Operating in direct exposure to rain or snow is not allowed.
In the event of a short circuit or reverse polarity, SPYSONIC has built-in protection.
APPROXIMATE DISTANCES OF SUPPRESSION
Efficiency of suppression is not the same for various devices.
For iPhones (4 & 5) and most Chinese transmitters (bugs) jamming distance is
more than 10 meters. For iPhone 6 the distance is 1 - 2 meters and depends on
series of iPhone 6. For video cameras, microphones in headsets and laptops,
suppression distance is in the range 2 - 5 meters. For some smart phones the
distance of suppression may not exceed 1 meter.
In Ultrasound mode the radius of suppression decreases approximately 1.3 - 1.5
times.
