Audio Spotlighting was invented by Dr. F. Joseph Pompei.
Production of focused beams of sound. Uses ultrasonic energy to create narrow beams of
sound. Non-linearity of the air aid the device for its
working. Device used: Parametric Loudspeaker or Array.
INTRODUCTION
![Page 4: A seminar on AUDIO SPOTLIGHTING](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050712/568163b0550346895dd4c6a6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Audio spot lighting is a technology that creates focused beams of sound similar to light beams coming out of a flashlight.
By ‘shining’ sound to one location, specific listeners can be targeted with sound without others nearby hearing it.
The Audio Spotlight uses ultrasonic energy to create extremely narrow beams of sound that behave like beams of light.
THEORY
![Page 5: A seminar on AUDIO SPOTLIGHTING](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050712/568163b0550346895dd4c6a6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Ultrasonic sound has very small wavelength in the millimeter range and lies beyond the threshold of human hearing.
Low Beam Angle is required to focus the sound.
Smaller the wavelength, lesser the beam angle.
Another way to focus sound is to increase aperture size of speakers(10m diameter for 20Hz) practically difficult.

AUDIO SPOTLIGHT CREATES FOCUSED BEAM OF SOUND UNLIKE CONVENTIONAL LOUD SPEAKERS …
Audio spotlight looks like a disc-shaped loudspeaker, trailing a wire, with a small laser guide-beam mounted in the middle.

WORKING
Audio Spotlighting Emitter
(21k to 28k Hz)
(Speech or music)

Cont… Frequency modulated signal travels through air, non-
linearity property of air comes into action which slightly changes the sound wave.
Due to change in a sound wave(ultrasonic), new sounds are formed within the wave.
New sound signal corresponds to the original information signal in the range 20Hz to 20kHz.
Inherent non-linearity of the air works as a de-modulator and thus de-modulated sounds impinge on our eardrums. We can hear those sounds.
The ultrasonic envelope acts as an airborne speaker.

CONVENTIONAL SPEAKERS AUDIO SPOTLIGHTING
COMPARISON BETWEEN CONVENTIONAL SPEAKERS & AUDIO SPOTLIGHTING

ADVANTAGES1.Can focus sound only at the place you want.
2.Ultrasonic emitter devices are thin and flat and do not require a mounting cabinet.
3.Focused sound travels much faster in a straight line than conventional loudspeakers.
4.Dispersion can be controlled - very narrow or wider to cover more listening area.

5. Highly cost effective.
6. Low maintenance and longer life span.
7. Requires low power.
8. No lag in reproducing the sound.

APPLICATIONS1. Automobiles: Beam alert signals can be directly
propagated from an announcement device in the dashboard to the driver.
2. Retail sales: Provide targeted advertising directly at the point of purchase.
3. Safety officials: Portable audio spotlighting devices for communicating with a specific person in a crowd of people.

4. Public announcement: Highly focused announcement in noisy environments such subways, airports, amusement parks, traffic intersections etc.
5. Emergency rescue: Rescuers can communicate with endangered people far from reach.
6. Entertainment system: In home theatre system rear speakers can be eliminated by the implementation of audio spotlighting and the properties of sound can be improved.

7. Museums: Audio spotlight can be used to describe about a particular object only to a person standing in front of it.
8. Military applications: Ship-to-ship communication and shipboard announcements.
9. Audio/Video conferring: Project the audio from a conference in 4 different languages, from a single central device without the need for headphones.
10. Sound bullets: Jack the sound level 50 times the human threshold of pain, and an offshoot of audio spotlighting sound technology becomes a non-lethal weapon.

FUTURE OF AUDIO SPOTLIGHTINGAudio spotlighting system holds the promise of
replacing conventional speakers.
It allows the user to control the direction of propagation of sound.
The audio spotlight will force people to think their relationship with sound. Audio spotlighting really “put sound where you want”.
![Page 21: A seminar on AUDIO SPOTLIGHTING](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050712/568163b0550346895dd4c6a6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
CONCLUSIONAudio spotlighting is really going to make a revolution
in sound transmission and the user can decide the path in which audio signal should propagate.
Audio spotlighting system is going to shape the future of sound and will serve our ears with magical experience.
So we can conclude- Audio Spotlighting really “put sound where you want it” and will be
“A REAL BOON TO THE FUTURE.”
