THD Podcast 139 - Holosonics Audio Spotlight Using Directional Ultrasonic Waves to Project Precise Sound Beams

from THD Podcast · host David Lindberg

The Total Harmonic Discussion / the THD Podcast. A weekly discussion on audio and headphone technologies and the people who bring the technology to market.In episode 139 of the THD Podcast, Dr F Joseph Pompei, the founder of Holosonics, joins to introduce how they modulate ultrasonic frequencies to create localized 'audio spotlights'.Holosonics is a pioneer in highly targeted sound through its patented Audio Spotlight technology. Unlike traditional speakers that broadcast sound in all directions, Holosonics creates a narrow, flashlight-like beam of audio. The system operates by converting audio into ultrasonic waves, which have wavelengths only a few millimeters long. Because these waves are so small, they naturally travel in a laser-like path. As this silent, modulated ultrasound travels through the air, it interacts with air molecules, naturally demodulating into audible sound precisely along its path. Step one foot outside the beam, and the audio vanishes.Check out the podcast on @YouTube @Spotify @amazonmusic @iHeartRadio @RumbleVideo @Apple @GoogleThanks to Barry Vogel and the ALTI Audio & Loudspeaker Technologies International for their support as well!Thanks to AudioXpress for their support on this episode as well!#audioengineering #acoustics #Holosonics #AudioSpotlight #DirectionalAudio #DirectionalSound #ParametricSpeaker #FocusedSound #UltrasonicSoundPlease like, subscribe, share, and comment with your feedback!
