Udio Spotlighting: By: T.Ajaykumar ROLL NUM:15AG1A0496 Guide: M.V.S.N BABA

Audio spotlighting uses ultrasonic frequencies modulated with audible sound to focus sound in a narrow beam. This allows sound to be targeted to specific locations without spreading in all directions like traditional speakers. The document discusses how earlier sound systems had wide dispersion and required large speakers for narrow beams. It describes how audio spotlighting works by exploiting the nonlinearity of air to generate audible sound from ultrasonic waves. Applications mentioned include military, retail, museums, emergency rescue and entertainment. The conclusion states that audio spotlighting will revolutionize sound transmission by allowing targeted audio and replace general loudspeakers.

INTRODUCTION
 Focused beams of sound
 Target specific

 Inaudible ultrasound pulses


DRAWBACKS OF EARLIER SOUND SYSTEMS
 Even the sophisticated hi-fi speakers cannot give
clean bass
 Audible portions of sound spread out in all
directions
 Source loud speaker had to made several times
bigger to get a narrow beam of sound waves
WHY LARGE SOURCE OF SOUND (LOUD
SPEAKER)

 Beam angle of audible sound is very


wide(360degrees)
 Narrow sound waves are produced by low beam
angle
 If the source loud speaker is made very wide
then a focused beam of sound can be produced
 The source should be greater than that of
wavelength of sound
 It cannot be a practical solution

WORKING

 Low frequency signal is frequency modulated


with high frequency ultrasonic waves ranging
from 21KHZ to 28 KHZ
 Output sound wave in the order of few
millimeters
 Since wavelength is small ,the beam angle is also
drastically reduced
NON LINEARITY OF AIR
 Non linear action of air slightly changes the
sound
 This inturn causes a new sound within the
ultrasonic sound waves
 New sound wave is with in the range of our
orginal sound wave (20 Hz to 20 KHZ)
 Thus if we can predict how air effects the
ultrasonic waves ,we can predict the newsound
wave
 We cannot hear high frequencies ,we can only
hear the new sound waves formed by non
linearity of air
BLOCK DIAGRAM
TRANSDUCER
 It is 1.27 cm thick and 17” in diameter
 It is capable of producing audibility up to 200
meters with better clarity of sound
 These are arranged in a form of array called
parametric array to exploit the non linearity of
air

advantages disadvantages

 Can focus only at  Each unit must be


place you want handmade
 Requires only small  The most common
power source form of distortion is
 Highly cost effective clipping
APPLICATIONS
 MILITARY
 RETAIL SALES

 MUSEUMS

 EMERGENCY RESCUE

 ENTERTAINMENT
FUTURE OF AUDIO SPOTLIGHTING
 Even the best loud speakers are subject to distortion
 Audio spotlighting can replace all the general loudspeakers
very soon
 People living in the vicinity cannot hear the audio that you
are hearing and they cannot be disturbed
CONCLUSION
 Audio spotlighting is really going to make a
revolution in the sound transmission
 User can decide the path in which audio signal
can propogate
 It finds application in large number of fields

 Audio spotlighting is going shape the future of


sound
