An air amplifier, a unique type of speaker, generates sound using air pressure.
This device produces sound waves by applying air pressure to a diaphragm. Air amplifiers are particularly useful in outdoor settings, underwater environments, and dust-laden areas, making them ideal for concerts, aquariums, and industrial settings. Their distinct advantage is their ability to operate without electrical power, making them suitable for locations where electricity is scarce or unavailable.
The core principle of an air amplifier is the vibration of air caused by the movement of the diaphragm under air pressure, resulting in sound wave generation. These amplifiers are appreciated for their minimal sound leakage, robust durability, and ease of maintenance.When using an air amplifier, adjusting the air pressure is crucial to match the specific speaker and its application.
