Abstract: A method of and apparatus for converting a digital signal to sound, the digital signal being encoded in a sequence of code words at a signal encoding frequency, the code words representing the analog sound pressure of an original audio signal, with decoding of the digital signal occurring after electro-acoustic transduction through mechanical rectification and characteristics of a listener's ear, includes utilizing a plurality of substantially identical sound pressure generating elements each having an individual driver associated therewith, and selectively energizing the drivers in a pulsed manner at the signal encoding frequency in combination in response to a respective order of the bits of each code word of a digital signal from a most significant bit to a least significant bit.
