Lasers are a beam of focused light. They can travel much further than a conventional light source. The laser has changed the way we live in many ways. But what if we could do this with sound? An inventor, Woody Norris, has figured out a way to send a focused “beam” of sound. This allows the sound to travel over large distances without distortion. So, if you’ve ever been to a carnival, or concert, you know that the sound has to be cranked up to hear. And even then, it is distorted as the waves bounce around.
The hypersonic directional speaker is different. Since it can be focused and concentrated, it sounds like you’re listening to a local speaker. You could be 100 yards away and it sounds like it’s right next to you. And, you could have two friends standing 2 yards on either side and they wouldn’t hear it. That’s focus. Obviously, this is not meant as a large-scale broadcast tool, but it has some interesting possible applications.
What about laptop speakers where only you can hear the sound. How great would that be? And the retail applications are many. Targeted advertising displays that grab someone’s attention with localized sound would be a hit. And what about somewhere where it is really noisy? How nice would it be to be able to speak directly to your child in a busy and noisy place – from across the room!
So how does it work? Well, I could give you the unfiltered version, but your head might explode. The gist of it is that the speaker sends out an ultrasonic signal. This signal interacts with the air and breaks into 3 surrounding signals, one of which is the audible signal. This signal gets “trapped” by the other 2 signals in a sound “cone.” This cone enables the sound to travel long distances without dispersion. That’s sounds like a revolutionary idea.

we need to buy hss speaker,please sent us information and product company soon.
thank you
my mobil 886-0933899317 Taiwan Taipei
I want a speaker system for crowd management(mob control) , say 500 to 5000 + people. Please send me the details
Hi Ravijit,
My company is providing a directional Speaker that is designed for crowd control. Which country are you located. Would you like to contact me for further details? My email is lena.ong@credent-asia.com
Well, that’s pretty nice – like a marketplace going on on PaulTech! I like it.
Is it possible to widen the area targeted by the HSS speaker? For example could the HSS speaker be used to contain sound with in say a 20′ circle”
Hi , HSS speakers can be used to contain sound within a specific area. It depends on the angle and distance you install the HSS.
Hi, can the HSS speaker be used as a mobile speaker. e.g. can I take it to a location and be doing a demo within minutes?
i want the deatails of the hss speakers available in market inclusive of its cost.
can u tell me in detail the internal working of this speaker with necessary pictures? can u explain this with the help of a block diagram also with details for each block? how much is the cost of the speaker? what is the lifetime? can we connect this to a microphone? how?

How much and how can I buy?
These sound like music playing through tinfoil.
Very unatural, customers think they like them until they are installed. That is why there is something like 50% restocking fee on returned speakers. I have two I can’t sell or return. There are much better directional speakers out there about the same size and cost that sound great, my customer told me about them- dakota speakers.
Been selling them for two years now, I’ll never go back, good people too…
My company bought one of these HSS speakers a couple of years ago for a project where we needed to demonstrate the effects of tinnitus on people who don’t suffer from that condition. The results were really good, as in the set that we made, only the person standing directly in the path of the speaker could hear the various sounds, people just a couple of feet away couldn’t here anything – a lot of people commented that it felt like the sound was just inside their head! For the right application, these are really great…
I am a final year engineering student of electronics, I am deeply interested to pursue the technology of HyperSonic sound speakers. I conducted a seminar on this topic in my engineering college.It was a great success, it evoked immediate response.
Presently i wish to make a working prototype model demonstrating this technology for my final year project presentation.
Could i request you to help me to gather information on circuit diagram , specification of components, other technical information & material to complete my project & how much is the cost of the speaker?
Your help will enable me to spread awareness about this technology amongst other desirous engineering students.
It’s been several years since hypersonic directional speakers were introduced. To your knowledge, are they being used by any DJs?
