Popis: International audience; This paper describes a Digital Acoustic Projector (DAP), which is a hybrid sound system combining both a digital loudspeaker and a parametric array to convert directly an n-bits digital electrical signal into sound. It consists of a set of ultrasonic transducers emitting a sinusoidal signal modulated by a sampled and quantised low-frequency signal. Self demodulation effect is used to demodulate the acoustic signal during its propagation in the air. As a proof of concept, a DAP is designed to convert a 4-bit digital electrical signal into sound. First experimental results are presented.
