Title:
DIRECTIONAL SPEAKER SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1986/001670
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A parametric speaker which reproduces audible sound having sharp directivity by utilizing non-linearity of the air for ultrasonic waves. Namely, the invention provides a listening area-limiting loudspeaker system wherein provision is made for a frame (12) to shut off intense ultrasonic waves, and an acoustic filter (10) to maintain safety for a listener (9). The depth of the parametric speaker is reduced by using a reflecting plate (19) to reduce space. Further, a moving mechanism is provided for an ultrasonic wave generator (8) or the reflecting plate (19) to obtain directivity. Moreover, the parametric speaker is combined with any other speaker (37) to offer a wide listening area.
