Abstract
A parametric sound system for creating an acoustical column along an axis of propagation having a quiet zone an audible zone is disclosed. The system comprises a parametric electro-acoustic emitter configured for emitting a plurality of focalized parametric ultrasonic waves. A plurality of decoupled acoustic waves are maximized at a focalizing area within the audible zone. The system also includes a signal source for applying a parametric ultrasonic signal to the parametric electroacoustic emitter. The signal includes an ultrasonic carrier signal and one or more sideband signals corresponding to an audio input signal. The system further comprises a signal processor for controlling phases of the parametric ultrasonic signal so that the plurality of focalized parametric ultrasonic waves emitted by the parametric electro-acoustic emitter will create a quiet zone along the same direction of propagation as the audible zone. The plurality of decoupled audio waves are substantially in phase within the audible zone while the plurality of decoupled audio waves are largely out-of-phase within the quiet zone.
