Directional Audio | What is Directional Audio ?

Sound is, by definition, half of an audio-visual solution. However in many cases audio needs to be carefully managed so as not to be intrusive or to be targeted toward a specific audience. In addition, within public spaces the ability to provide “zones” in which private and confidential discussions can be made without being overhead is essential in many retail and financial organisations. In such cases, directional audio technology provides a highly efficient and cost effective solution.

Our directional audio solutions utilise proprietary Panphonic plane-wave technology to provide a focused wave of targeted sound directly from the speaker, based on the electro-mechanical film (EMFi) concept. This offers considerable technical advantages over conventional dynamic loudspeaker technology and flat panel speaker technology. Some of the most significant technical advantages are directivity, a nonmagnetic environment, superior sound quality, considerable reduction in mechanical vibration and an even sound field.

This technology enables new and more productive ways to solve many traditional audio application problems which are not feasible using traditional speakers. The technology is unique for difficult acoustical usage situations. Our portfolio of products is ideal in audio applications which require focused, high quality sound over long distances with an even sound pressure level.
