I'm sure they can find some destructive way of using it, otherwise they wouldn't spend 40 million dollars on it.

you could sidechain kick and bass by moving the speakers xD or gate leads by using it like a shaker, but to only 1 person
but like for soundproofing how awesome would it be. monitors like this, and if you could angle it right you could have a singer in a different room singing along with music that doesn't get picked up by the microphone without headphones. www.musicproductionnatural.com || www.facebook.com/djamoeba | facebook page |

I notice there are no specs for frequency range given... my gut instinct is that LF response will be pretty bad, although I would love to be proved wrong. That looks like some very cool tech.

i wonder how that stuff sounds in terms of high fidelity..
i mean it´s an awesome technique for sure, but does it give a natural pleasant sound that we musicians are looking for in audio (besides the fact that 100 Hz is still not enough for real music reproduction..)
but besides that, as always with awsome new techniques, here comes the bad news: i am already scared of audiocommercials popping up right in my head in puplic shopping places all over like this:

happy mindfuck...

nothing under 100 would sound pretty thin indeed...
as to audiocommercials, they will probably develop devices that plant the "info" directly into your brain, no external reception (ears eyes etc.) needed, just a brain, that's all

Isn't that what Paul Atreides used in Dune?

Cool technology. Too bad they don’t explain it in more detail. From what he said in the video, it seems like he generates those “air currents” inside the speaker from the audio signal and passes ultrasound through it. Maybe it’s like he creates sort of a hologram of the sound and “shines” the ultrasound through it the way one would shine a laser beam through the holographic glass plate. And the original sound waves get recreated in mid-air just like the original light reflected by an object gets recreated in mid-air by a hologram. Just my guess... Cool indeed, in any case.
That second speaker they tested on an airfield is a completely different technology, though. It’s a phased array, very much like the ones used in modern anti-aircraft radars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Electronically_Scanned_Array) but with sound instead of microwave radio. It’s a cool technology, but it’s about 100 years old. Of course, they couldn’t think of a better application for it than riot control. Fascist assholes.
