CES 2026: Audfly FocusAura™ Turns Any Kiosk Into a Private Voice Booth

📅 January 4, 2026 ⏱️ 5 min read

📋 TL;DR

Audfly’s FocusAura™ fuses beamforming loudspeaker panels with a neural-network microphone array to carve out a 1–3 m ‘Personal Audio Zone’ in noisy venues. Banks, airports and hospitals can now deploy AI kiosks without privacy leaks or speech-recognition failures.

What Happened on the CES 2026 Show Floor?

Las Vegas—Inside a sound-proofed suite at the Bellagio, Chinese acoustics pioneer Audfly pulled the curtain on FocusAura™, the first turnkey hardware module that simultaneously beams audio to a user and listens from that exact spot while ignoring everything else.

Unlike conventional “directional” speakers that only project, FocusAura pairs:

  1. Alpha-series ultrasonic speaker panels (sound pressure ‑20 dB at 15° off-axis); and
  2. DS-M602 microphone array (30° horizontal pick-up lobe, 1–3 m depth trigger).

Both subsystems are driven by a single USB-C host drawing

Key Features

🔊

Dual-Directional Audio

Same module beams sound to and listens from a 30° zone—no extra hardware.

🔒

20 dB Privacy Shield

Audio drops below ambient just 15° off-axis, meeting PCI & HIPAA leakage specs.

⚡

<2 W Power Budget

USB-C bus-powered; swap into existing kiosks without new cabling or PSU.

🧠

Neural Noise Rejection

DNN mic array delivers ≥95 % accuracy at 5 dB SNR—twice legacy beamformers.

✅ Strengths

  • ✓ Plug-and-play UAC audio—no driver headaches
  • ✓ Scales to 8 speaker tiles per amp for 2 m wide kiosks
  • ✓ Ships with calibration utility and GDPR audit logs
  • ✓ ROI <6 months for banking/healthcare deployments

⚠️ Considerations

  • • Ultrasonic treble roll-off softens consonants
  • • Adds 8-12 % to kiosk BOM cost
  • • Requires line-of-sight; blocked by thick glass
