Neon Lamp Traces Sound Waves

That's sound wave you see in the picture above. Here demonstrating how an acoustic lens focuses sound from a a horn, the wave was made visible with the device at left-an alluminium rod with a microphone and a neon lamp at the end. A small motor swings the rod in a wide arc, scanning the area. The microphone picks up the sound and turns it into electric current to fed the lamp. where ever the sound is strongest, the light is brightest, and the wave is traced out. A complete sound photo, such as this from Bell labs, takes 10 minutes exposure.

Project Oriented Exam On Live Sound Reinforcement At SEA

Students of SEA February 2011 batch went through a challenging project on live sound reinforcement. The total batch was divided into six sub groups. With in a time frame of Just 50mins, each sub group did the Sound Installation, Sound Check & System Calibration, Programme Execution & Uninstallation. All the equipments used were new to the students as we will not use any in house equipments for projects. This is to identify our students capability to cope up with new pro-audio equipment's. The five piece band who had the performance really rocked the campus. Great Experience and our students once again proved their professional competency.

Latest invention In Sound : Flat Flexible Speakers that Produce a Clear Sound


 A loudspeaker, which is less than 0.25mm thick, is the latest invention in technologypresented by engineers from University of Warwick. The device is flexible and can be easily hung up a wall in an apartment or, due to its specific technique of producing sound, it can be used as a way of making clear public announcements in different places, such as, for example passenger terminals. Besides being extremely lightweight, this latest technological invention does not require huge investments. Slim and flexible, such speakers can be installed in ceiling tiles or inside vehicles.

Warwick Audio Technologies, is a spin-out company that says its device generates planar directional sound waves in public places. These waves project further than sound produced by usual speakers. Engineers dubbed their latest invention Flat, Flexible Loudspeaker (FFL). According to the company's CEO, Steve Couchman, the revolutionary speaker could completely replace the conventional speakers that are nowadays used in homes, cars and public places such as passenger terminals and shopping centers.

"Audio visual companies are investigating its use as point of sale posters for smart audio messaging and car manufacturers are particularly interested in it for its light weight and thinness," he said.
The flexible speaker works by transforming an electric signal into sound. In conventional speakers the signal is used to produce a varying magnetic field that vibrates a mechanical cone, thus making the sound. However, the technology behind the flexible speaker connects thin, conducting and insulating, materials that create a flexible laminate. When an electrical signal excites the laminate, it vibrates, so generating sound.
