News - Consultancy work

CE Electro-Acoustics latest consultancy work (only companies not subject to confidentiality are listed):

Node Audio - HYLIXA HYLIXA presents a new type of speaker – a 'helical bass' design. It's compact, low diffraction cabinet features a wide-bandwidth BMR® for extraordinary vocal intelligibility. Driven by a rearwards firing internal woofer, a 'Helical Transmission Line' (HTL) delivers authoritative bass extension, exiting concentrically around the front baffle to maintain an effective single point source.

Uniquely, these innovations are only possible by exploiting 'laser sintering' manufacturing, new to the audio industry.  The entire cabinet is systematically fused using a computer controlled laser, from particles of Glass and Nylon, resulting in a unified cabinet of remarkable integrity. [Ashley May Director at Node Audio]

www.node-audio.com     Technical white paper for the HYLIXA

Code Acoustics - SA1 "CODE are very pleased to announce our new SA1 super high quality compact active speaker, designed in collaboration with CE Electro-Acoustics.
The SA1 takes much of the technology from our larger and more expensive SYSTEM-1 & SYSTEM-2 products, yet distills it into a neat and compact package, made available at what we think is a very competitive price". [Ceri Thomas MD at Code Acoustics]


Lumie Bodyclock Luxe 750D (High-quality audio wake-up light) "Lumie Bodyclock Luxe750D  is an alarm clock that mimics the light and colour of a real sunrise so when you open your eyes you feel properly awake and refreshed. Bodyclock Luxe 750D is the most advanced of Lumie’s Bodyclock range of wake-up lights and has high-quality audio offering DAB radio, Bluetooth, a USB port for more audio files or for charging your phone, and over 20 wake-up and sleep sounds, from classic birdsong and waterfall recordings to background café chat and fading thunder". [Jonathan Cridland CEO at Lumie]


OS Acoustics - DB7 (2-Way Active Studio Monitor) "The OS Acoustics DB7 is a high-precision reference studio monitor. Offering exceptional frequency response and time domain coherency. Ultra rigid, high-fidelity drive units operate in pistonic motion throughout the working frequency range, lowering distortion and maintaining harmonic purity." [Tom Osborne MD at OS Acoustics]


Soundkaos - Liberation "Libération eliminates the box and with it, box colorations, port issues, nonlinear pressurization of the drivers and attempts at choking half the speaker’s output with internal damping materials. Unlike many other open baffles, Libération also eliminates the messy derriere by covering both front and rear in attractive phosphor-bronze mesh covers. The driver array combines two bespoke 8-inch Enviée widebanders with a Raal ribbon super tweeter and a massive 18″ woofer to add scale and spatiality with real authority". [Martin Gateley MD at Sound Kaos]  http://soundkaos.audio

Code Acoustics - System 1 "Code Acoustics are an exciting UK start-up, combining cutting edge technology, Great British craftsmanship and innovative ideas to bring genuinely exciting audio products to market. SYSTEM-1 is a high quality 3-way active speaker, with an off-board electronics module. It consists of 'TOP-1', 'BASS-1' and 'CONTROL-1' a 6-channel DSP crossover, pre-amp with 6-channels of power amplification". [Ceri Thomas MD at Code Acoustics ] Code Acoustics - System 2 (prototype) Code's SYSTEM-2 was recently launched at the National Audio Show 2016 where it was awarded runner up in the 'best sound in show' award and won the 'best innovation' award. System 2 is a truly modular HiFi system, where you can start with just a two-way active bookshelf speaker for a small room, or add pairs of bass modules until you have a maximum of 8. As with System 1, dedicated DSP and power amplification is provided enabling the realisation of a fully optimised modular low frequency system.

Soundkaos - Wave 40 The Swiss Made Precision Tuned Audio Instrument HiFi Critic 'Audio Excellence' and 6 Moons award winner - "A flawless speaker-as-musical-instrument widebander in a perfectionist enclosure" [Srajan Ebaen]


"The all solid tone-wood enclosure features an 8" full range driver with a ribbon tweeter for top end duties. The speaker's enclosure loading is a hybrid transmission line/rear horn with a side-exiting terminus and the ovoid solid Alpine Spruce/Maple enclosure with the rippling baffle is completely decoupled from the driver and stand to create very high speed of resonance shedding or minimum energy storage." [6 Moons news room]


Tectonic Elements - High Performance Audio BMR Tectonic Elements high performance ferrite motor BMR drive unit.

The HiBM65C20F-8 Balanced-Mode Radiator uses Tectonic Elements patented bending-wave technology and pistonic modes of operation to deliver room-filling sound dispersion with a wide frequency range and a natural, clear sound.
