Acoustic3D Holdings Ltd, based in Sydney, Australia, has announced the development of two improved prototype loudspeakers using its patented DaS loudspeaker array technology. The prototypes have been developed to demonstrate the acoustic performance of the DaS platform to prospective licensing, manufacturing, and strategic technology partners. Acoustic3D is now available to license the technology.
DaS is an advanced loudspeaker array architecture designed to improve how loudspeakers interact with real listening rooms. The technology uses controlled driver geometry, array spacing, and time-aligned acoustic output to influence how sound energy is launched from the loudspeaker and distributed into the room.
The current prototypes incorporate improvements from earlier development generations (see article DaS AuReality — 3D Loudspeaker Technology published by Voice Coil in 2021), with a focus on reliability, repeatability, measurement consistency, and demonstration readiness. Acoustic3D reports that objective measurements and subjective listening evaluations confirm that the prototypes are functioning as intended and demonstrate the core acoustic principles of the DaS platform.
The DaS prototypes have been evaluated using measurement and listening tests to assess array behavior, balance, time alignment, and room interaction. The company has developed supporting measurement material that can be made available to selected technical partners under appropriate confidentiality arrangements.
“Loudspeaker-room interaction remains one of the most important challenges in reproduced sound,” said Joseph Hayes, Chairman of Acoustic3D Holdings Ltd. “The DaS array approach gives us a practical way to manage acoustic behavior at the source, before the room dominates the listening experience. With patent protection, working prototypes, and supporting measurement data, we are now in a strong position to engage with technical and commercial partners.”
The DaS platform has been developed over an extended research and prototyping period and is protected by patent rights covering key aspects of the technology. The latest generation of prototypes provides a stable demonstration platform for technical evaluation, measurement review, licensing discussions, and commercial assessment.
The technology is intended to support future loudspeaker systems where acoustic output, driver behavior, time alignment, DSP control, room interaction, and spatial performance are treated as part of an integrated system architecture.
Potential application areas include hifi and premium consumer home loudspeakers, particularly active systems, studio monitors, and professional, DSP-controlled loudspeaker platforms. Particularly interesting are also potential applications with future room-aware playback systems.
The company is now seeking engagement with loudspeaker manufacturers, DSP platform providers, acoustic technology companies, manufacturing partners, and potential licensees interested in evaluating the DaS platform.
“After many years of development, we now have a demonstrable technology platform that can be heard, measured, and assessed,” says Hayes. “Our objective is to move DaS from prototype demonstration into commercial loudspeaker products through the right licensing, development, or manufacturing partnerships.”
Acoustic3D is preparing structured demonstrations for selected industry participants and is open to discussions with companies active in loudspeaker design, acoustic engineering, DSP implementation, manufacturing, licensing, and audio product development.
Acoustic3D Holdings Ltd is an Australian unlisted public company developing patented loudspeaker array technology. Its DaS platform is focused on improving loudspeaker-room interaction through controlled array behavior, driver geometry, time alignment, and acoustic system design.
