Field of Sounds

field of sounds - A wireless platform for multichannel audio experiences.

Field of Sounds is a modular multichannel sound system developed by Kai Lab. It provides perfectly synchronous wireless playback across 40+ speakers.

Field of Sounds uses radio to achieve synchronisation of all channels, and a custom web app controls and monitors the system. Audio tracks are pre-loaded to the modules via WiFi before the performance, which allows the system to be scalable to 40+ channels while maintaining high definition, un-interrupted audio playback.

Each speaker channel is a separate wireless module containing a Minirig speaker, custom audio playback unit and radio. These components are enclosed in a weatherproof and wearable unit weighing 900 g. The modules are easily rechargeable and have a battery life of approximately 10 hours.
