Focusonics® Directional Speakers for Home - Improving TV Listening for the Hearing Impaired  

Focusonics® speakers are versatile with various applications across industries, and now you have the chance to integrate our ultrasonic sound device into your living space. Directional speakers for home can be harnessed to help improve the quality of life for individuals within their home who suffer from hearing impairments.

The primary use-case of directional speakers for home is enabling hearing impaired individuals:

  • Better experience watching television (TV) without sound issues

Those who suffer from hearing problems may struggle to hear the audio coming from the TV compared to those sitting around them who do not have a similar issue and may in fact find it uncomfortable listening to a volume high enough for the individual with impaired hearing to enjoy.

 

Directional speakers for home work in unison with conventional TV speakers

If you have a hearing impairment or know a friend or family member who does, simply overcome this issue by setting up directional speakers to work in conjunction with conventional TV set speakers.

With the speakers working together, the sound can be enhanced so that it is more directed towards the person of interest whilst maintaining a level of volume and quality.

Setting up an effective directional speakers for home system of this variety will also ensure that the sound is not elevated for others in the room sitting or standing outside of the radius of the ultrasonic speakers sound beam - helping to maintain an ambient atmosphere for all.

Which Focusonics® speaker is best suited?

Focusonics® Model A

  • Perfect for larger distance operations with an optimal range of 3-15 metres.
  • Maintains directivity over larger distances.
  • Powerful, loud volume capability.

Focusonics® Model B

  • Most appropriate for operating distances ranging from 1-5 metres.
  • Perfect for conversation-level volume of sound
  • Perfect for overhead operation to deliver sound to the person directly below.

Installing the right directional speaker system for your home

The directional speaker you choose for your home very much depends on the size of the room. For instance, the Model B speaker might be best suited for assisting TV audio by being fitted overhead of where the impaired user likes to sit on their sofa/chair due to its optimal functioning range of 1-5 metres.

The same rule may apply to larger rooms that have a TV where overhead implementation is not optional or desirable in a specific case - the speaker could be positioned further away, closer to the TV and shifted to a desired targeted area where the hearing impaired individual is seated. This will work best with the Model A speaker if the TV is in a larger room with seating that is further away due to its ability to function optimally at longer distances (3-15 metres) compared to Model B.

What are Directional Speakers?

Focusonics™ directional speakers work in a completely different way to conventional loudspeakers. Our range of speakers generate directional audio in a fixed and accurate shape, delivering the sound with precision to a targeted location. Not only is the audio delivered with clarity, crucially it does not increase the ambient noise within the nearby surroundings.
