Sound Reception System Market

Sound Reception System Market: Overview

With advanced navigation device systems, ships today have the modern facilities and automation systems to receive data for their voyages.

The Sound Reception System is an electronic device used for receiving sound waves (70Hz-820Hz) outside the vessel from a wheelhouse that is isolated. It senses the sounds transmitted by other vessels outside the ship and receives the signals.

In order to detect the foghorn sounds from different vessels and use them onboard, various manufacturers have designed SRS for the ship crew members to hear the signals coming from all directions.

Introducing new regulations to ensure the safety of marine crews prompted manufacturers to develop new products and communication systems for both land and sea applications.

Key Market Developments

Zenitel complies with the latest industry standards, developed Phontech 8300 MkII to detect the signals with a frequency of 70Hz to 820Hz with an adaptive environment to eliminate the noise and filter the unwanted sounds with advanced digital processing signals.

In addition, with adjustable volume and dimmer, this device is MED, ISO 14859, and IEC60945-approved.

In order to manage automated materials in a new warehouse, Zollner, a German EMS provider, expanded its operations in China

With its effective noise suppression capability, the BHS-approved SRD 414/2 Elephant Ears device from Zollner ensures reliable performance of the system with precise direction detection of incoming signals.

Many companies focused on acquisitions to evolve in the market. Navcom, a Spanish Marine Technology, collaborated with ComNav to further expand its product range in the market.

.Sound reception systems are electronic acoustical navigational aids and they enable a ship’s crew to hear audio signals generated from outside an enclosed bridge.

The sound reception system is installed to look-out as required by the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 standards.

As an option, sound reception systems can also be installed on vessels lacking fully enclosed bridges. Speakers and sound amplifiers are installed in the wheelhouse and usually, four water resistant microphones connected to the system are installed outside. The output sound levels are controlled by the Whistle Systems and PAGA.

Drivers and Challenges

The reliability of a sound reception system generates significant demand for installation on ships with a totally enclosed bridge.

Also, the rising requirement of personnel and navigational safety results in increasing integration of sound reception systems.

Innovations, such as installation of local audio monitors and controllers for early detection of oncoming vessels, make the sound reception system safer and increases its demand.

These are some factors driving the global market for sound reception systems. Also, company development and increase in revenue generation is estimated to enable growth in the global sound reception system market.

Qualities, such as automation of sound reception and distribution of control functions drive the growth of the sound reception system market.

Moreover, in case any part of the sound reception system fails, the backup speaker can continue to operate and the personnel manning the speakers and the amplifier can be warned of the oncoming vessel, as the control tasks are distributed among various local process controllers.

Such factors are expected to propel the global sound reception system market to greater heights.

However, the high power consumption and expensive maintenance and operational services are expected to challenge the growth of the global sound reception system market.

Sound reception systems are designed on the basis of their naval applications. This customization requires a lot of planning and it is time consuming.

This factor too challenges the growth of the global sound reception system market.

The manufacturers have to adhere to stringent naval bylaws while developing such sound reception systems, which is another factor hindering the growth of the global sound reception system market.

Further, continuous updates made to the naval regulations in various countries are expected to challenge the growth of the global sound reception system market. Yet, the sound reception system market is anticipated to register continuous growth as drivers will offset the negative impact.

Sound Reception System Market: Regional Overview

Governments and manufacturers in North America are making huge investments to procure efficient sound reception systems.

Moreover, the naval personnel safety standards set by the government, compels ‘sailor companies’ to integrate sound reception systems into their vessels. These factors have enabled North America to register the highest market share.

However, with the increasing number of import and export firms in Asia Pacific economies, such as India and China, together with safety standards established by the governments, the region is expected to register the highest growth in the sound reception system market, by the end of the forecast period.
