Nothing Like A Sound System That Could Kill You

154db's and the declaration that no human could survive the experience at maximum output

Needless to say Walter already wants one

Sound system simulates a rocket blast, would kill you just as dead

Yeah, saw that article last week

Now what exactly does the nitrogen do to make it louder? Does it have to do with the air mixture or keeping the drivers cool or something else?

Honestly not sure what the purpose of the nitrogen is, but it actually sounds like it is part of creating the actual sound waves.

HUH? couldn't hear ya

It could be for its inertness.

It is simply passing gas. Now, in addition to the classic Silent But Deadly, we have Loud And Deadly. I, myself, have been master of the SBD and LAD for years.

I concur. My interpretation of the article is that the N2 is actually used to produce the SPL. I will postulate a bit farther and guess that the expansion of N2 from liquid to gas phase is amplified to get these high SPLs.

I have been in labs when liquid N2 dewars self-vent and it scares the crap out of me every time!

That's what I'm thinking.

Inertness yes, but if you filled a "listening" room with it, you'd be unconscious and eventually dead.
