The Core Wireless Speaker Generates a Sonic Hologram
Rahul Kalvapalle — October 23, 2014 — Tech
The Core wireless speaker, developed by Toronto-based Mass Fidelity, offers high-quality wide stereo sound from a portable package.
This speaker makes use of innovative Wave Field Synthesis technology, a completely novel way of rendering audio wherein the 'sound image' is produced by recreating the sound in space -- essentially, creating a sonic hologram. The resulting sound is purer and more accurate than traditional stereo sound.
The speaker includes a 120-watt digital amplifier, five custom mid/high speakers and Absolute Bass Technology for a complete, balanced sound.
Mass Fidelity has been operating an Indiegogo campaign to crowdfund production of The Core; the campaign has skyrocketed past its funding goal, a testament to the product's potential. A pledge of $389 will get you a single unit of The Core for $200 less than the suggested retail price.
