Products using airSound technology are not constrained by the off-axis phase and frequency anomalies of left / right channel stereo; and the limitation of the true stereo signal to a fixed 'sweet spot'. For CI and commercial audio applications, airSound offers major performance, operational and cost advantages for manufacturers, installers and system integrators alike.
Frequency and phase response are uniformly accurate throughout the stereo soundfield. A far smaller number of enclosures is required to cover any given environment compared with conventional stereo systems; not only due to stereo signals being reproduced from single enclosures, but as there is no loss of energy or sound quality through the frequency cancellation effects of filter combing between adjacent cabinets, as in conventional stereo installations.
Power draw for an airSound enclosure is about 40 per cent less than with conventional stereo system producing similar sound levels.
