MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Keep the SpotDAP unit free of dust accumulation. To clean the emitter surface, 

 

use only low pressure (less than 10 PSI) compressed air, available in small
spray cans from an electronics store. Use only a dry cloth to remove dust  
from the exterior of the SpotDAP unit. DO NOT attempt to clean the surface of the 
emitter with anything other than compressed air at less than 10 PSI.  

Servicing the HSS unit

The SpotDAP unit has no user-serviceable parts. Contact RSF if service is

 

required.

 

 

 

!

Maintain the environmental requirements as outlined in the 
section on Installation and Setup, and the Safety Instructions. 

The power to restrict sound to a specific area without imposing on nearby 
activities has endless possibilities for use. The SpotDAP uses HyperSonic Sound

® 

 

(HSS

® 

), a pioneering sound-generation technology that gets your audio message

right to your audience. The HSS technology, a highly directional ultrasonic
column places sound only where it is intended. Sound does not spread to the 
sides or rear of a SpotDAP unit, eliminating the problem of uncomfortable and 
unwanted noise pollution produced by conventional speakers. 

 

Directory kiosks in a shopping mall 

 

Store displays introducing a new product

 

Art display information directed to patrons at art museums

 

Directions at an amusement park 

 

Display booths at trade shows

 

Speakers in an office space

 

Internet access kiosks in public areas

 

Audio/video conferences in different languages from a single device 

 

Point-of-purchase advertising, or language-department messaging

 

Providing hearing impaired sections in churches and schools 

HSS technology can be used anywhere noise abatement requirements 
preclude general broadcast address, but communications are required. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SpotDAP can transform signs, placards, and surfaces into virtual speakers. Virtual 
Mode applications allow units to be placed without cabinet or hardware at 
the desired sound location. By projecting sound with a SpotDAP unit, a simple 
display sign can act as a speaker without wiring or changing the sign’s
appearance. You can beam the SpotDAP sound to specific endcaps or aisle displays 
or send sound across the room, without uncomfortable and unwanted volume
from loudspeakers. SpotDAP can turn a wall into an information sound center by 
adding sound to coupon panels and directional signage to increase interest. 

The superior control that SpotDAP offers will grant freedom to use sound as never
before to audio engineers, architects and environmental designers. Audio use
will be well-defined and more impactful with highly controlled audio 
placement, selective access to that audio, and freedom from the need to use
high levels of sound to get audio across a distance.
