We tune for a room,
not a test bench.
An anechoic chamber is the easiest place in the world to build a speaker that measures perfectly. It is also the only place you will never listen to one.
The room is part
of the signal chain.
A driver in a room produces a summed response: the speaker plus every reflection, absorption and standing wave between it and your ears. We measure all of it, then correct it — per driver, not per product.
- Sweep, silence, sweep. Each measurement run is verified against a silent baseline before it is trusted.
- Correction stays minimum-phase. We fix frequency and time, never the timing cues your ears use to place a voice.
- Nothing is uploaded. The profile lives on the device. Re-measure on a plane with no network and it still works.
What every NOVA shares.
Same DSP platform, same measurement philosophy, same app — from a $179 Roam to a full cinema stack.
Six-microphone arrays
Six MEMS capsules arranged to read direct sound and reverberation separately, so correction targets the right one.
Beamforming for voice
Two dedicated microphones steer a null toward the room and a lobe toward you — far-field pickup without shouting.
Wi-Fi 6E mesh audio
Rooms form their own low-latency mesh. Adding a device extends coverage instead of competing for bandwidth.
Lossless to the amplifier
24-bit / 192 kHz end to end, with the DSP bypassed entirely in direct mode for outboard DAC owners.
Under 12 ms system latency
Tight enough that TV audio and multi-room playback stay in sync without a manual delay setting.
Repairable by design
Drivers, batteries and amplifier modules are replaceable parts. Every model ships with a published teardown guide.
Three rooms. No shortcuts.
Every model is signed off in three acoustically different spaces before it leaves the building.
The chamber
Anechoic, 62,000 hours of measurement logging a year. This is where the driver itself is judged — nothing else.
The reference room
A deliberately ordinary living room: drywall, a sofa, a rug, a window. Correction is tuned against something real.
The hard room
Glass on two walls, bare floor, no soft furnishings. If a system survives this, it will survive your kitchen.
Nineteen years, four turning points.
Founded in Copenhagen
Three acoustics engineers leave a hearing-aid company, convinced consumer audio has stopped measuring honestly.
First adaptive tuning
The original four-microphone measurement system ships in the Column 100. It takes eleven minutes. Now it takes twenty seconds.
Rooms become a network
Multi-room moves off the router and into a peer mesh. System latency drops from 60 ms to under 12 ms.
Pulse One
The same measurement philosophy, applied to a headphone — where the room is a 40 mm cavity that changes shape as you move.
