Audfly Introduces New Miniature High-Performance Directional Sound Modules

August 19 2025, 00:35
In recent weeks, Audfly Technology unveiled several new miniature directional sound modules, expanding its portfolio with the new reduced physical footprint Alpha22 and Alpha43. These new advanced ultrasonic beamforming solutions are designed for seamless integration into consumer electronics, digital point-of-sale, or self-ordering kiosk equipment, allowing transmission of sound messages and eventually communication exclusively with the user.
 

The new directional sound modules are now available to system integrators worldwide and are an innovative example of the technology's potential for highly targeted audio system design, particularly for applications demanding lightweight, discreet, and differentiated sound delivery. By projecting audio in a narrow beam, the technology minimizes sound spillover while improving speech intelligibility, even in noisy surroundings — a capability increasingly valued in retail spaces, museums, transportation hubs, and corporate environments.

"Directional audio has historically required large or conspicuous hardware, which limited where and how it could be integrated," says Laura Chen, an industrial design consultant specializing in audiovisual products. "Audfly's latest modules stand out because they deliver targeted sound within a form factor that can be embedded without altering the overall device profile."
 

From a design perspective, the Alpha22 and Alpha43 modules address integration challenges such as space constraints and acoustic performance. The modules' compact design allows manufacturers to incorporate directional sound in locations previously considered too tight, such as slim displays, kiosk panels, or portable terminals. And despite their reduced size, the internal acoustic architecture and ultrasonic technology ensure clear, focused audio over defined distances, minimizing sound spill and preserving privacy.

The new compact modules could be especially relevant for digital signage, interactive kiosks, healthcare terminals, and premium consumer devices, where targeted sound delivery can enhance user experience while reducing environmental noise. Audfly's approach, combining precision ultrasonic transducers, optimized housing geometry, and its plug-and-play module architecture, provides greater freedom for system and design integration. The new directional Alpha22 and Alpha43 modules make it easier to hide audio sources, blend sound delivery seamlessly with visual elements, and implement product differentiation without large-scale structural changes.

According to the China-based manufacturer, early prototypes have reportedly been tested in museum exhibits, retail environments, and next-generation laptops. Feedback from trial deployments suggests improved user engagement and clearer sound in noisy spaces, and clearly captured the attention of system integrators and device manufacturers seeking to overcome the limitations of traditional loudspeakers.

The newly released modules cater to diverse integration needs, supporting different device sizes and sound projection ranges. All feature a plug-and-play integration format with standardized interfaces, enabling manufacturers to reduce development cycles, accelerate time-to-market, and customize audio delivery per application without redesigning entire systems.

Audfly Technology specializes in ultrasonic directional sound solutions. Its portfolio spans consumer electronics, commercial displays, public terminals, and specialized audio applications.

Kiosk and POS manufacturers will be able to integrate the Alpha43 module into self-service machines, enabling transaction prompts with enhanced clarity — even in busy environments — while preventing disturbance to nearby users.
