Audio spotlighting is a technology that uses ultrasonic energy to create extremely narrow beams of sound, similar to flashlight beams, allowing specific listeners to hear sound without others nearby. It works by increasing the wavelength and aperture size of speakers to focus sound in a small area. Advantages include focused, directed sound waves that travel faster and require the same power as regular speakers while allowing control of dispersion without lag. Applications include targeted advertising, museum audio guides, safety communications, focused announcements, and ship-to-ship communication. Audio spotlighting allows putting sound precisely where desired.

technology that creates a focussed beams of sound similar to light beams coming out of a flashlight. • Specific listeners can be targeted with sound without others nearby hearing it. Is it possible to confine sound to a small area..?? If yes, How…??
By decreasing wavelength of the sound
beams(λ α Beam angle)
Thus uses ultrasonic energy to creates
extremely narrow beams of light
By increasing the aperture size of the
speakers Comparison between Conventional A Speakers and Audio Spotlighting Working Principle • Frequency modulated signal • Inherent non linearity of air travel through air , non works as a demodulator and linearity property of air comes thus demodulated sounds into action which slightly impringe on our ear drums. We changes the sound waves. can hear those sounds. • Due to change in sound waves new sounds are formed within the waves. • New signal corresponds to the orginal information signal in the range 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. Advantages Can focus sound only at the specific place you want. Focussed and directed sound waves travels much faster. Highly cost effective and longer life span. Requries same power as required for regular speakers. Dispersion can be controlled. No lag in reproducing the sound. Applications RETAIL SALES: Provide MUSEUMS: In museums directly advertising at the audio spotlight can be used time of purchase to describe about a particular object to a person standing in front of it. APPLICATIONS(CONTD.) SAFETY OFFICIALS: PUBLIC Portable audio spot ANNOUNCEMENTS: lighting devices for Highly focussed communicating with a announcements in a specific person from a noisy environment crowd of people. airports, subways, ENTERTAINMENT traffic intersections etc. SYSTEMS: In home NAVY theatre systems sound APPLICATION: Ship can be improved by to ship communication implementing audio and shipboard spotlighting system. announcements. Let me conclude…. • Even the best loudspeakers are subject to distortion and their omni direction sound is annoying to the people in the vicinity who do not wish to. The audio spot light will force people to rethink their relationship with sound. Audio spotlighting really “PUT SOUND WHERE YOU WANT IT” and will be a “REAL BOON FOR FUTURE”
