RETHINKING MUSEUM AUDIO
ADD SOUND, WHILE PRESERVING THE QUIET
Creating a peaceful, quiet atmosphere is essential for museums and galleries, yet incorporating sound into exhibits often disrupts this environment. Traditional audio systems fill rooms with unwanted noise, distracting visitors and detracting from the immersive experience you aim to provide. Headphones and listening wands are prone to damage, can be unsanitary and are considered by many to be a “dated” technology.

Audio Spotlight offers a revolutionary solution to this challenge. Our directional speakers use patented SoundBeam® technology to deliver precisely targeted sound where it’s needed, while preserving the tranquility of surrounding areas. These cutting-edge museum speakers provide isolated audio for specific exhibits without interfering with the quiet spaces your guests value.
With our advanced directional audio system, sound is delivered in a narrow beam—much like a spotlight—allowing visitors to engage with an exhibit’s audio content only when they’re in the designated area. This ensures that your exhibition experience maintains both focus and serenity, solving the long-standing problem of balancing sound and silence.
