 ABSTRACT

Audio spot lighting is a very recent 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. It uses a non-linear
acoustics for its working. But it is real and is better than any conventional loud speaker. This
acoustic device comprises a speaker that fires inaudible ultrasound pulses with very small
wavelength which act in a manner very similar to that of a narrow column. The ultra sound
beam acts as an airborne speaker. Holosonic Research Labs invented the Audio Spotlight that
is made of a sound processor, an amplifier and the transducer. This use ultrasound based
solutions to beam sound into a focused beam. Audio spotlight can be either directed at a
particular listener or to a point where it is reflected. The targeted or directed audio technology
is going to a attain a huge commercial market in entertainment and consumer electronics and
technology. Being the most recent and dramatic change in the way we perceive sound, audio
spot light technology can do many miracles in various fields like, Home theatre audio system,
Navy and military applications, museum displays etc. Thus audio spotlighting helps us to
control where sound comes from and where it goes.
