Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES General The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, the accompanying statements reflect adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for those periods indicated, and contain adequate disclosure to make the information presented not misleading. Adjustments included herein are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the footnotes. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2015 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on December 3, 2015. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year. Principles of Consolidation The Company has a currently inactive wholly owned subsidiary, LRAD International Corporation, which the Company formed to conduct international marketing, sales and distribution activities. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of this subsidiary after elimination of intercompany transactions and accounts. Reclassifications Where necessary, the prior year’s information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. |

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block] | 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the standard by an additional year; however, it provided companies the option to adopt one year earlier, commensurate with the original effective date. Accordingly, the standard will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018, with an option to adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating this standard and has not yet selected a transition method or the effective date on which it plans to adopt the standard, nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its financial statements and related disclosures. |

Notes to Financial Statements | |
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash equivalents, short and long-term marketable securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received in an asset sale or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between unaffiliated market participants. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether or not the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) defined as follows: Level 1: Inputs are based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and/or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active near the measurement date. Level 3: Inputs include management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation. The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities was determined based on Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The Company does not have any marketable securities in the Level 1 category as of March 31, 2016, or in the Level 3 category as of March 31, 2016 or September 30, 2015. The Company believes that the recorded values of its other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations. Instruments Measured at Fair Value The following tables present the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities’ costs, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value by major security type recorded as cash equivalents or short-term or long-term marketable securities as of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015.

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | 8. INCOME TAXES At March 31, 2016, the Company had federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) and related state NOLs. The Company released $8,339,000 of its valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in the quarter ended September 30, 2015 as it determined that it was more likely than not that those assets would be realized. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance of $12,175,000 as the Company believes that the negative evidence that it will be able to recover these net deferred tax assets outweighs the positive evidence. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $856,106 and income tax expense of $1,600, reflecting effective tax rates of 45.0% and 0.2% for the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate in the six months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in the prior year, is primarily due to the partial release of our valuation allowance in the prior year, resulting in current year tax benefit.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation The Company may at times be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company will, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record adequate reserves in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for pending litigation. Currently, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject. Bonus Plan The Company has an incentive bonus plan for fiscal year 2016 designed to motivate its employees to achieve the Company’s financial objectives. All of the Company’s employees are entitled to participate in the incentive plan. Target Bonus Amounts (“Target”) vary based on a percentage of the employee’s base salary which range from 10% to 50% of base salary and a bonus payment may be made at three levels, including at 50% of Target, at 100% of Target and at 200% of Target, depending upon the achievement by the Company of specified earnings per share goals. Included in such calculation is the cost of the incentive plan. For purposes of the earnings per share calculation, the number of shares outstanding will be held constant as of October 1, 2015. During the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company accrued $0 and $323,098, respectively, for bonuses and related payroll tax expenses in connection with the bonus plans. |

At March 31, 2016, there were options outstanding covering 2,537,836 and 907,500 shares of common stock under the 2005 Equity Plan and 2015 Equity Plan, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation The Company recorded share-based compensation expense and classified it in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows: Three months ended March 31, Six months ended March 31, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Cost of revenue $ 6,101 $ 6,851 $ 11,738 $ 11,671 Selling, general and administrative 128,405 125,224 246,360 230,446 Research and development 25,811 45,332 50,159 66,737 Total $ 160,317 $ 177,407 $ 308,257 $ 308,854 The employee stock options granted in the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 had a weighted-average estimated fair value of $0.62 per share and $1.13 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions (annualized percentages): Six months ended March 31, 2016 2015 Volatility 49.0% - 52.0% 51.0% - 62.0% Risk-free interest rate 1.1% - 1.7% 1.0% - 1.6% Forfeiture rate 10.0% 10.0% Dividend yield 2.2% - 2.7% 0.0% Expected life in years 3.2 - 4.6% 3.2 - 4.6% The Company declared its first dividend in the quarter ended December 31, 2015, so dividend yield assumptions were added to the valuation of options granted based on the expected annual yield. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates published by the Federal Reserve Board. The expected life is based on observed and expected time to post-vesting exercise. The expected forfeiture rate is based on past experience and employee retention data. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of the grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates or if the Company updates its estimated forfeiture rate. Such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which the estimate is changed. Since the Company has an NOL carryforward as of March 31, 2016, no excess tax benefit for the tax deductions related to share-based awards was recognized for the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. As of March 31, 2016, there was approximately $800,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based employee compensation arrangements. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. |
