Proclaim Audio Works DMT-100

By Andrew Beehler May 14, 2007

If you’re tired of the same old speaker design cluttering homes across America and long for something more unique looking, you’ll want to take note of the DMT-100, a new sphere-shaped system from Proclaim Audio Works. While it’s not exactly affordable, you’ll be getting a speaker which has had a lot of thought put into it.

The Proclaim Audio Works DMT-100 consists of three spherical speakers which are mounted on arms and attached to a stand made out of fully-machined, high grade aluminum and stainless steel. The spheres are designed as such that, according to Proclaim Audio, they eliminate cabinet resonance and also allow for the correct alignment and positioning of the three drivers.

The company’s “Driver Manipulation Technology” allow you to change the system’s acoustic characteristics by orienting all six transducers. This is joined by a hand-crafted external crossover which helps to better balance stereo output. All-in-all the three drivers can be adjusted up to 45-degrees off axis, while the tweeter and mid-range speakers get up to 12-inches of vertical or horizontal flexibility for positioning.

The spherical design of the speakers is what Proclaim says is the best shape for audio reproduction because of “its characteristically smooth frequency response.” The speakers are built with two layers of fiberglass filled with a sand mixture for a denser consistency. This results in what is seen as a non-resonating enclosure that doesn’t distort the housed driver.

The Proclaim Audio Works DMT 100 speakers, which can be custom painted in a variety of color schemes, have a price of around $26,000. More details on this system can be found at the manufacturer’s Web site.

Next-gen wireless headphones will get lossless hi-res audio with a little help from Qualcomm

Man listening to wireless headphones.

Qualcomm has announced its latest S3 and S5 Gen 3 Bluetooth chipsets for audio products like wireless earbuds, headphones, and speakers. Along with the usual improvements in performance, some of these chips break new ground in terms of audio quality, thanks to the addition of hi-res support to the company's aptX Lossless Bluetooth codec.

Until now, aptX Lossless -- which requires Qualcomm's Snapdragon Sound technology on both sides of the wireless device equation -- has been limited to CD-quality audio.
