Audio SpotlightI haven't used "Holosonic" in particular, but have been 
amazed time and again by the accuracy of directional speakers. They tend to 
be expensive, but you should be able to work the dealer to devise a 
configuration that accommodates your specific needs. I have used them as 
audio narrative for specific sections side-by-side and even at only a few 
linear feet apart, there was little to no bleeding.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Audio Spotlight


Dear Colleagues,

I am researching different ways to provide audio for a new interpretive 
video that will be installed in our museum court. Rather than headsets, I'd 
like to consider an audio spotlight. Specifically, the Audio Spotlight from 
Holosonic was recommended by our tech consultants. We have used audio domes 
before in an exhibition and the sound leaked throughout the gallery and was 
distracting for the visitors and our docents and staff.

Has anyone used the Holosonic Audio Spotlight before? How many people did it 
accommodate at once? Standing or seated? Did the floor and wall materials 
impact the sound distribution? What kind of feedback did you get from the 
visitors?

In addition to sound, we will also have the video captioned.

Thank you,
Leah
