Abstract (en)

A terminal apparatus (600) comprising a first speaker (625, 627), a second speaker (626, 628) and a controller configured to identify where the first speaker and the second speaker are located, and control the first speaker and the second speaker to output sound, respectively, based on the identified locations of the first speaker and the second speaker. The first speaker and the second speaker output sound through a plurality of slits, which are designed to each have a thickness that is less than an wavelength of sound emitted therefrom so that the plurality of slits act as an origin from which the sound is emitted.
