Abstract
Superposition of multiple sources, constructive and destructive interference, and array beam forming are common topics demonstrated in undergraduate acoustic classes. The student learning experience is enhanced by building a system with speakers and measuring the resulting amplitude at various angles with a microphone. This experiment is often performed in an anechoic chamber to achieve quantitative agreement between theory and experiment. We have developed a simple tabletop apparatus using inexpensive ultrasonic transducers that yields comparable results without the need to use an anechoic chamber.
