  1. Audio Spotlighting

  2. Introduction • Why Audio spotlighting? • Because coventional sound systems emits sound in all directions • In order to pursue directional sound beams we are stepping towards Audio spotlighting

  3. Theory • Even the most sophisticated hi-fi speakers have a difficult time in reproducing clean bass • So accuracy is not achieved in conventional Audio systems

  4. Audio spotlighting production • Smaller wave length hence lesser the beam angle • Source loud speaker can be of several times bigger than the wavelength of the sound transmitted

  5. Components • It consists of 3 major components A thin, circular transducer array A signal processor Amplifier

  6. Projections specifications • Transducer of .5 inches thickness and an active area of 1 foot in diameter • Produces 3 degree wide beam of sound i.e, even audible at distances over 100 meters

  7. Working principle • Works on the principle of non linearity of air • Uses ultra sound pulses • It divides known as parametric array employs non linearity of air • Creates audible bi products from in audible ultra sound frequencies

  8. Gradual distortion in ultra sound beams produces in a predictable way • When light beam is focused the air itself acts as a demodulator

  9. Production • Uses similar to the idea of amplitude modulation • Produces two frequency sets • One with the volume of original sound wave is propotional to the ultra sounds • The other with the volume of the signal distorted components is exponential

  10. Types of projections • Two ways of projection • Direct audio projection • Projected audio projection • bommallu2

  11. Comparision • Creates highly focused beam of sound • Uses inherent non linearity of air for demodulation • Two ways to use –directed and projected audio • Wide range of applications • Highly “cost effective”

  12. Applications • Target selection is possible • Replaces walkie-talkie • Used in navy systems • Used for private messaging systems

  13. Future scope • Replaces headsets • Audio parks • New branch in acoustics

  14. Conclusion • Being the most radical technological development in acoustics since the coil loud speakers were invented in 1925 … audio spotlighting will force people to rethink their relationship with sound • So we can conclude that audio spotlighting really “put sound where you want it” and will be “a real boon to the future”
