New type of speakers.

[walpurgis]

I really want a listen to the new prototype speakers developed by JPL from a NASA research offshoot. The Photon Wave Modulation Transducers, allegedly the first and only speakers that will work in space. I understand Branson may be involved in financing much of the research. They have zero diaphragm mass and instant transient response, very interesting. This technology could provide a turning point for the whole audio industry!

Searched for 'Photon Wave Modulation Transducers' nothing came up. Got a link?

I emailed NASA for more information on this, and they replied that a press release will be published tomorrow, the 2nd of April. Can't wait!

You're on the ball Steve :eyebrows:

"In space no-one can hear you scream."Sure can't. And it's been proved in practice too. [emoji23]

Actually, there might be a way of achieving something very similar to this using quantum entanglement, I'll get to work.

[Lawrence001]

Actually scratch that, just occurred to me it's probably easier just to get some Bluetooth IEMs and they'll sound better with a space helmet on anyway :)

I imagine speaker placement being a bit of a pig. I've seen pictures and I thought the rear ports were a bit unnecessary.
