Acoustic 3D’s new audio hologram is the shape of sound to come

The music market has continually evolved responding to new technologies. Vinyl, cassette, compact disc, and mp3 formats have all cycled in and back out of usage.  However, one piece of tech that has kept the same build for five decades is the humble loudspeaker.  Companies such as JBL, Bose, Sony and many others release new loudspeakers every year, but they are all based on the same premise – the powerful black box.

This is a $4BN per year global market that has succeeded through market necessity; people need to hear their music, and has gotten by on little innovation. In the early 90s, Joe Hayes, decided to challenge the status quo.   A highly experienced Sound Engineer and Acoustician, Joe made a ‘game-changing’ scientific breakthrough in audio amplification and discovered how to generate an audio hologram.

“This audio hologram is not an extension of existing audio technology but a totally new method of generating sounds,” said Mr Hayes.  “Our patented A3D sound, forms the basis of our first product line – the Emergence Loud-Speaker system, producing an uncoloured, distortion free, immersive three-dimensional sound experience.  It is unlike anything else in the marketplace.”

Getting ready for a global rollout 20 years and $2M in development costs later, Acoustic3D Holdings Ltd, is Joe’s company ready to go global by wholesaling to major retail brands worldwide. “The past 12 months have been devoted to ensuring the supply chain is able to accommodate our initial demand.  Our speakers aren’t black boxes.  They were conceived from the ground-up and have a futuristic design quality.  This design has meant investment into our tooling has been crucial. Our infrastructure will be able to accommodate production of 500,000 units per year.”

This supply chain implementation is the latest execution phase from the last round of investor funding and government grants.  “At a retail price of $995 for a state-of-art home theatre sound system unlike anything ever heard before, we are quietly confident that we can hit all of our sales benchmarks and provide strong returns to our shareholders who invested in the creation of our IP and our market potential.”

Acoustic3D has patent protection in all its key target markets and across a number of applications.  “A licensing deal with a major headphone brand is imminent, this demonstrates that the technology can scale down with no loss in sound performance.  It is our vision that the A3D sound can be heard on every iPhone and Android device.  It is a truly disruptive technology in the audio market.”

Funding the future of sound creation Acoustic3D has raised 80% of its initial round with investors which has seen the company rapidly implement its operational program as well as make advances with its licensing deals.   “This should get the company to a point where market traction can create an uplift in the value of the company. There are many companies that would benefit from this intellectual property.  Sony, Bose, Apple, Google, any company with a stake in the audio market can gain an immediate advantage with this technology in their arsenal.”

The audio hologram promises to alter the way loudspeakers are designed turning an entire room into an audio sweet spot.  With this kind of value proposition to customers, Acoustic3D can become the go-to audio brand for the next generation.
