Holosonics X-Series Audio Spotlight (Directional) Speaker

Holosonics Audio Spotlight® X-series Products

Holosonics’ new X-Series Audio Spotlight speaker creates a tight, narrow beam of sound that can be controlled with the same precision as light to deliver all of the sound and none of the noise™. When aimed at the desired listening area, X-Series Audio Spotlight uses patented technology to create a beam of ultrasound that delivers audio that is ten times more isolated than the sound produced by any other speaker in the marketplace.

X-Series Audio Spotlight technology is the perfect sound solution for a wide range of venues and applications, including museums, galleries, exhibits, kiosks, digital signage, retail displays, and OOH advertising. Flexible and self-powered, X-Series Audio Spotlight speakers are a powerful tool, ensuring isolated audio that captivates listeners with an immersive, personal experience, while keeping the surrounding area quiet.

Sound field distribution shown with equal-loudness contours for a standard 1kHz tone. The center area is loudest at 100% amplitude, while the sound level just outside the illustrated beam area is less than 10%. 

sound field distribution

Audio Spotlight systems are much less sensitive to listener distance than traditional loudspeakers, but maximum performance is attained at roughly 1-2m (3-6 ft) from the listener.

There is a doubling of available output power and an additional octave of low frequency reach stepping up from the smallest AS-168iX model to the AS-16iX, and again from the AS-16iX to the larger AS-24iX.
