In the Dada exhibition in 2006, MoMA used some kind of directional  
speaker very effectively  to play a segment of Kurt Schwitters' Ur  
Sonata.  It was an unexpected delight to discover this in the  
exhibition.  Maybe someone there can point you to their AV staff....

>> 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,
