Electronic decoy which company to choose
The most important characteristic of the electronic semolina is the accuracy of the reproduced sound. This parameter depends on the quality of the sound recording and the dynamics of the device. In addition, semolina differ from each other in range and number of recorded sounds. All these characteristics depend on the manufacturer.
The modern domestic market identifies the following manufacturers of electronic decoys for hunting.
Among Russian manufacturers:
1. LLC NPP Svyaz Complex M, Nizhny Novgorod
2. NPF "Sphere" LLC, Nizhny Novgorod
3. LLC Analytics-Service, Rostov-on-Don
4. LLC "T-Media", Moscow
5. LLC "Lema", Arkhangelsk
Among foreign manufacturers:
1. Plurifon, Italy
2. Mundi Sound, Spain

It should be noted that even in the most modern manky sound is not always identical to the sounds made by animals. The fact is that over time, the conditioned reflexes of animals change, especially in waterfowl, so even a perfect call after a certain period can only scare off the game. To eliminate these drawbacks, manufacturers provide the ability to regularly update sound recordings and settings under certain conditions.
