But if we move on to the other end of the scale or spectrum or dynamic range, maybe I should say, we can talk, we can detect blasts and gunshots, right? Right, right, right.
6:12
First of all, microphones has actually a huge dynamic range.
6:18
We are talking about a dynamic range for more than 120 dB.
6:22
uh, In a battlefield, I guess that if we have a big blast, then we will have sound levels about maybe 180 and maybe even more.
6:39
And when there's silence in the battlefield, then we have maybe wind noise, 60 dB or lower.
6:49
So we need actually a microphone that are able to cover this big range.
6:58
And yeah, the microphone has a dynamic range of 120 dB, but for detecting drones, which normally has a lower sound noise level when they are flying, We need to select our microphone so it's still able to measure the high levels, but also able to measure the lower levels from the drones.

Can you elaborate a little bit on that? What kind of tests do we do? Can we offer there?
