As self-service kiosks become increasingly prevalent in sectors such as retail, transportation, and healthcare, user experience (UX) has become a critical point of evaluation. Despite their convenience, traditional kiosk systems often struggle to provide a clear and private audio experience. Common challenges include ambient noise interference, sound leakage affecting nearby users, and a lack of personalization in audio delivery. These issues not only reduce user satisfaction but can also lead to communication errors, especially in noisy environments or when sensitive information is conveyed.
In order to overcome the limitations of traditional audio output of self-service terminals, Audfly provides an innovative acoustic solution - an easy-to-integrate directional speaker modular system Cube 01. These advanced audio systems focus sound into a narrow beam, ensuring that only users standing directly in front of the kiosk hear the audio content. This approach significantly enhances privacy, minimizes external noise interference, and delivers a more tailored user interaction experience. Moreover, the modular nature of these speakers allows for flexible installation across a variety of kiosk models, supporting both retrofits and new deployments.
Directional sound technology operates by projecting audio in a tight, controlled beam, similar to how a flashlight directs light. Unlike conventional speakers that disperse sound waves widely, directional speakers use ultrasonic waves that interact with air to form a narrow sound path. This enables precise sound delivery to a defined area without disturbing the surrounding environment. The technology is particularly beneficial in public and semi-public settings where audio focus and privacy are paramount.
Cube 01 is Audfly’s latest directional sound modular product designed to meet the evolving needs of modern self-service kiosks. It combines compact design with high-performance audio delivery, ensuring both form and function. With plug-and-play capabilities, it enables quick integration without the need for complex setup, making it ideal for both new installations and upgrades. Its superior sound directionality enhances speech clarity, making it easier for users to understand voice prompts in various acoustic environments.
When evaluating audio solutions for self-service kiosks, the differences between directional and traditional speakers are substantial. Traditional speakers emit sound in all directions, often leading to sound spillover, privacy issues, and ineffective communication in noisy environments. In contrast, directional speakers like the Cube 01 provide targeted sound delivery, addressing these issues directly. This focused sound output ensures that users receive information clearly and privately, thereby improving the overall user experience and system efficiency.
While self-service kiosks remain a primary application, modular directional speakers like the Cube 01 are increasingly being adopted across a variety of environments where focused audio delivery is essential. These include public venues, retail settings, and smart home interfaces, where managing sound leakage and improving user engagement are top priorities. By tailoring sound delivery to specific users or areas, directional speakers contribute to a more immersive and efficient communication experience in each setting.
