I received this parametric speaker kit from Japan a couple of days ago. Parametric speaker, which uses ultrasonic wave, can send a sound to narrower limited area than normal cone speaker. I want to use it in order to imply some intimate feelings with sound in escalate.
I bought it at Akizukidenshi.com that is one of the best sellers of educational electronic kits in Tokyo area.
Although the kit was easy to make, I took 4 hours to assemble all of them. I had a lot of distractions in the holiday weekend… FYI: the kit is developed by Tristate in Japan.
In the diagram, it says the speaker delivers sound signals within 20 degrees.
To assemble and to develop a new system are so fan. I enjoy the process even I have no enough time to make it. I know escalate at AC Institute will be the first version. It will be upgraded once I figure out more things in the future. Whenever I upgrade the system/technology in a work, I name like oxoxox, 2008-2010. I may never stop to upgrade my work until the work leaves from me.

One response to “Parametric speaker”
[…] もう一つの作品展は、ニューヨークのBronxにある、Wave Hillという場所。 Another one is a group exhibition at Wave Hill in Bronx, NY. ２つの音の作品を出展しております。一つは、パラメトリックスピーカーを使ったもの。もう一つはバイノーラルサウンド。どちらも、サイトスペシフィックな作品で、是非とも会場で聴いていただきたいと思います。 I have two sound works. The first one I use a parametric speaker. The second one I use a pair of headphone with binaural sound effect. Both of them are site-specific artworks. Hope people can come to listen them on the site. オープニングレセプションは明日９月１０日午後２時。 Opening reception will be tomorrow(9/10) at 2pm / Free with admission to the grounds. http://www.wavehill.org/prog…/sunroom/exhibit/call-response/ http://www.wavehill.org/arts/exhibits/call-response/ .
