I saw one some years ago in a magazine based on a massive array of electronically controlled pistons in concentric circles. By moving the pistons in an out under computer control you can create the required pressure waves - i.e the shape and size of the pressure wave is controlled by the requisite 1's and 0's. Way too complicated to be mass produced, but perhaps engineering has moved on and you could manufacture the arrays more cheaply and reliably. I suppose you could also use controlled valves and tuned pressure jets, but it all gets a bit too much to manufacture. Of course you may have other ideas for doing this, but digital speakers have been tried. -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19016 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
