D class driver and ultrasonic transducers
From the principle that sound comes out, the bass range is not strong.
The directivity and sound intensity of parametric speakers are proportional to the density of the ultrasound waves. The sound pressure of 10mm and 16mm transducers is almost the same, so the directivity will be sharper if the ultrasonic waves are generated in as small an area as possible.
