Introduction
As technology becomes more advanced, personalised and on-demand, it improves the way we listen. The growth of the live music industry and movies pushed audio technology from its origins into quite advanced systems that were used in major events. Audio systems have evolved far from being a simple speaker. Today’s events are engaging, immersive and highly refined masterpieces that are played by audio artists around the world.
While audio technology hardware advancement appears to have slowed down, the growth will be in the software and programming that manipulates the systems to make them more flexible and allow for greater control and creativity. Synthstrom Deluge – Portable synthesiser and sequencer Designed in New Zealand, this unique all-in-one synthesiser, sampler and sequencer was created with the purpose of creating and improving electronic music. It features 128 pads for sequencing, a dual-engine subtractive and FM synth and 64MB of RAM for loading samples as well as built-in effects, arpeggiator and CV outputs for external gear. This piano style instrument is already creating waves in the musical world since it requires no computer to create the music. Decibel – Eco-friendly modular speaker The company claims that these speakers will be “the last speaker you’ll ever buy”. The Decibel aims to reduce e-waste through their modular design. Rather than buying a new unit every time, Decibel encourages you to replace the components as the technology advances and you are able to be up to date. In order to open the instrument all you need is the Allen key and you can replace the part you want to with a new component that comes with a pre-paid return package.
This awesome wireless Bluetooth Speaker has even more impressive features like long battery life, wireless and USB-C charging, aptX audio, and an aluminium chassis, and it is good looking too! Olive - Next generation hearing aid With the aim to solve the problem of cost and the social perception on the hearing impairment, Olive has come as a revolution in the hearing aid technology. Affordable and accessible to all, Olive allows the users to test the hearing aid and configure the aid to their requirement and need. The aid is cost efficient, next gen and appealing too. 4D - The Future Of Sound 4D is here to revolutionise the way we hear the sounds by adding an extra dimension along the Y axis. This gives more depth to sound we hear. The purpose of 4D systems is to let the electronic music producer manipulate sound so it moves in time, changes shape, and hits you from all corners of the room. The 4D system allows for 16 columns of omni directional speakers, each with three speakers per piece, and nine sub-woofers under the floor, for a total of 57 separate channels of audio. They can be easily connected through apps where the end users can manipulate the sounds in the way they want. The way in which we experience sound has dramatically changed. Now that digital music is here for foreseeable future, it’s pushing the growth of earbuds among the popular music enthusiasts. These devices, apparatus and accessories are here to give us a high quality acoustic experience for ages to come.
