Summary of Soundlazer SNAP – The Directional Parametric Speaker
The Soundlazer directional audio project enhances the concept of parametric speakers, which use ultrasonic carrier waves to deliver audio in a focused beam, allowing only listeners directly in front to hear the sound. The Soundlazer "Snap" is a cost-effective iteration designed to provide new options for directional audio, following the initial project's success on Kickstarter.
Parts used in the Soundlazer directional audio project:
- Parametric speaker components
- Ultrasonic transducers
- Audio driver circuitry
- Enclosure/housing for speaker assembly
- Power supply unit
- Mounting hardware
The Soundlazer directional audio project is the follow-up to my initial and highly successful project on Kickstarter. During my efforts to reduce the price of this incredible technology, I created the Soundlazer “Snap” to enable supporters to discover fresh options in directional audio.
Directional speaker systems such as the Soundlazer are known as parametric speakers. Ultrasonic carrier waves are utilized to send audio to listeners in a concentrated sound beam similar to light emitted by a laser. In general, only the individual positioned in front of a parametric speaker is able to hear the audio that is being transmitted. Individuals located on either side of the directional audio source experience minimal or no auditory output.
