ANGEL 12 PRO ULTRA: ultrasonic jamming for sensitive conversations
ANGEL 12 PRO ULTRA is intended for users seeking the most fully equipped model in this range: 116 high-density transducers, a stated 360° angle and an integrated speaker. It supports the preparation of sensitive discussions where both the equipment present and its placement matter.
The ANGEL 12 PRO ULTRA ultrasonic microphone jammer aims to disrupt speech capture by microphones susceptible to this technique. Its desktop format can be placed in meeting spaces to complement confidentiality procedures.
116 high-density transducers, 360° and an integrated speaker
The high-density arrangement combines 116 transducers with a stated 360° angle. The integrated speaker distinguishes PRO ULTRA from the other two models. Follow the PRO ULTRA instructions for its use; the speaker and the transducer count do not establish guaranteed performance against every recording device.
The ultrasonic signals are intended to interfere with the audio capture chain of susceptible microphones and reduce the intelligibility of recorded speech. The result depends on the equipment exposed and cannot be inferred from transducer count alone.
Sound activation: jamming follows the conversation
All three ANGEL 12 models feature a sound activation mode. When enabled, the unit can pause jamming emission during silence, then restart automatically when it detects sound or a voice. This avoids manually operating the controls whenever discussion resumes.
Check its behaviour in the intended room, as ambient noise can affect triggering. The pause concerns the jamming emission: the device remains able to detect the return of sound. It is not a guarantee that every syllable will be masked in all conditions.
3D configuration: three linked and synchronised ANGEL 12 PRO ULTRA units
The 3D version includes three ANGEL 12 PRO ULTRA units, linked and synchronised with each other. Each retains the specifications of the selected model. Together they provide 348 transducers distributed across three units, allowing different emission positions around the conversation area.
This configuration is particularly recommended for latest-generation recorders using advanced functions, multiple microphones and noise reduction processing. Distributing the units varies the directions of exposure to the jamming, according to room geometry and the possible positions of recording devices.
Linking and synchronisation coordinate the three units. Range is not automatically multiplied by three, and the name 3D does not mean there can be no ineffective areas. Prepare the layout with a representative recording test.
Battery operation and use while charging
ANGEL 12 PRO ULTRA can operate while charging with the appropriate power supply, allowing a meeting to continue when a suitable socket is available. Battery operation supports temporary installations and moving between rooms.
The reference manual states up to 2 hours 30 minutes of battery operation and around 3 hours to recharge. Actual duration varies with settings and conditions. In 3D, prepare the charge and power supply of all three units; their number does not turn that figure into a combined sequential battery life.
Two power levels and desktop controls
High and low settings let you adapt operation to the surroundings. Buttons and the remote control provide access to functions, while the display indicates battery level and sound activation status. Night mode reduces display brightness.
The stated maximum range is up to 8 m, depending on conditions. A table, screen, garment or other obstacle can affect ultrasound propagation. The jammer does not detect hidden microphones, and switching it on does not itself confirm that recording is impossible.
Interpreting the additional display functions
The reference documentation describes the air-quality value as simulated rather than an actual measurement. Negative ion emission is also listed as an additional function; no measured air-cleaning or health benefit is claimed here. These functions do not assess the confidentiality of a meeting.
Practical advice for installation
- Prepare the power. Check the charge before the meeting and use the appropriate supply if it runs longer.
- Keep emitting faces clear. Place the unit outside any bag and avoid objects that obstruct emission.
- Plan the placement. Keep the emitting faces unobstructed around the unit and follow the PRO ULTRA instructions for the integrated speaker.
- Check sound activation. Test its response to a voice and to background noise.
- Distribute all three units in 3D. Set up linking and synchronisation according to the supplied instructions.
- Make a sample recording. Listen to recordings from your own devices at the intended positions and retest after changing the layout.

Strengths and limitations
| Strengths | Limitations to consider |
|---|---|
| 116 high-density transducers, stated 360° angle and integrated speaker | A denser arrangement does not guarantee effectiveness against every microphone. |
| Sound activation with pauses in silence and automatic restart | Background noise may affect triggering. |
| Use while charging | An appropriate power supply and clear emitting faces are still needed. |
| 3D: three linked and synchronised units | Allow for installation, linking and charging of all three units. |
| 3D configuration recommended for advanced multi-microphone recorders | Results vary with devices, obstacles and audio processing. |
| Desktop format with power adjustment | A slight operating noise may be perceptible. |
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Standard and 3D for ANGEL 12 PRO ULTRA?
Standard includes one ANGEL 12 PRO ULTRA unit. The 3D configuration includes three units of the same model, linked and synchronised with each other. It lets you distribute jamming sources around the conversation area. Placement and recording tests remain necessary.
How many transducers does ANGEL 12 PRO ULTRA have?
The Standard model has 116 high-density transducers and a stated 360° angle. The 3D configuration combines three identical units, totalling 348 transducers. This does not automatically multiply the range.
Why consider 3D for recent recorders?
The 3D configuration is particularly recommended for recent recorders combining advanced functions, several microphones and noise reduction. Three linked, synchronised units provide different emission positions. Effectiveness still depends on the target device, its audio processing and placement.
How does sound activation work?
When this mode is enabled, jamming can pause during silence and resume automatically when a sound or voice is detected. It controls the jamming emission automatically; ambient noise may also affect triggering.
Can I use the jammer while it is charging?
Yes. Operation while charging is possible with the appropriate power supply. Keep the emitting faces clear and follow the instructions.
What range can I expect?
The stated maximum range in the reference manual is 8 metres. Useful distance varies with the microphone, its orientation, obstacles and the surroundings. Neither the stated angle nor the 3D configuration guarantees a completely protected area.
Is the jammer completely silent?
The instructions indicate that a slight noise may be perceptible during operation. Ultrasound must therefore not be presented as a guarantee of absolute silence.
Is the result guaranteed on every phone?
No. Results vary with microphones, audio processing and device placement. Test your own equipment in the intended conditions before a sensitive discussion.
Does PRO ULTRA have an integrated speaker?
Yes. PRO ULTRA includes an integrated speaker in addition to its 116 high-density transducers. Follow the instructions specific to PRO ULTRA for operation of the speaker.
