Introduction
Not anymore!!!!!!!
uàhe regular loudspeakers produce audible sound by directly moving the air molecules.
uàhese loudspeakers do not travel in narrow beams i.e just about 360 degrees.
uA focused sound follows the following principle that ͞
. àhis can be achieved by use of
ultrasonic sound.

àechnology Overview
If this is expressed as a percentage shift from the lowest audible sound to highest its spans a
range of 100,000 percent. àhis range can only be achieved by audio spotlighting.
Î"
àhe original low frequency sound is applied to a audio spotlight emitter device which is
Frequency modulated with a ultrasonic sound ranging from 21KHz ʹ 28KHz .At the output
we will get the modulated form of original sound wave.
Since the wavelength is smaller and the beam angle is around 3 degree as a result the
sound beam will be narrow one with small dispersion.
While the frequency modulated sound wave travels in air the non-linearity property of air
Comes into action and it slightly changes the sound wave.
We cannot hear the ultrasonic sound rather the new sound formed by the non-linear action of
the air. àhus in the audio spotlight the ultrasonic envelope acts as airborne speaker.
Here the listener doesn't perceive the sound emanating from the face of the transducer
but from the reflection from the wall .

emitter. Even after travelling a distance of 10 m the beam covers only 3.2 meter

It requires a clear line approach from the sound system unit to the point where
the listener can hear the audio.
§It travels much faster in a straight line than conventional loud speakers.
