How AudioBeam works

How AudioBeam works

AudioBeam is an acoustic spotlight. This means:

!AudioBeam is able to focus sound – either directly or via reflections on a surface. This allows e.g. information inmuseums and at exhibitions to be radiated directly from the exhibits – only visitors standing directly in

front of an exhibit are addressed.

!AudioBeam limits sound reproduction to precisely defined areas – adjacent areas are kept sound-free. This allows e.g. the soundtrack from a video to be projected in different languages, without the need for

headphones. The visitors simply have to enter the desired “language area”.

AudioBeam uses state-of-the-art ultrasonic sound transmission technology:

The desired audible sound is created at a distance of four to up to ten meters directly in front of AudioBeam and at an angle of approx. 30°. As soon as someone comes closer than four meters to AudioBeam, a built-in distance sensor automatically turns off the unit.

Safety instructions

Possible danger for persons with cardiac pacemakers!

Possible danger of hearing defects!

At a distance of less than four meters in front of AudioBeam, ultrasonic frequencies may disturb the function of cardiac pacemakers and may cause damage to the hearing!

Make sure that no-one can come closer than four meters to AudioBeam – especially when mounting the unit movably or rotatably.

Warning of life-threatening electrical shock!

If AudioBeam is connected to the mains, opening AudioBeam may result in a life-threatening electric shock!

If AudioBeam should be defective, repair must be carried out by your Sennheiser service partner. If the unit is opened in breach of this instruction, the warranty becomes null and void.

Risk of fire!

AudioBeam generates heat! Make sure that the airvents of the unit are not covered or blocked!

Keep AudioBeam away from heat sources and never expose AudioBeam to direct sunlight! Maintain a minimum distance of 1 meter between AudioBeam and combustible materials.

Attention!

If liquids or small parts which conduct electricity find their way into the interior or to the connecting sockets of AudioBeam, this can cause a short circuit!

Use AudioBeam in dry rooms only and keep liquids and small parts which conduct electricity away from the unit and its connecting sockets. For cleaning AudioBeam, only use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Never use any solvents or cleansing agents.
