World's First Pure Graphene Speakers and Transducers
Pure graphene-powered speakers create a high-fidelity audio experience you have to hear to believe. GraphAudio is the only company that can deliver a pure graphene transducer for acoustics and its superior performance has the opportunity to establish a new global standard in audio, setting the stage for development and commercialization of a wide range of applications beyond high-definition sound, including echolocation, ultrasonic sensing, and near-field communications.

Xbox gaming headset
Xbox 360 in-box headset
Webcam mic projects
(MSR) Microsoft Research sensor project for contact voice activity sensor for improved voice recognition
Coastal Source
Helping Outdoor Audio Sound the Best
The Coastal Source brand stands alone. It stands for something radically different from mass-marketed products that typically fail over time. "Do it once, do it right" is the mindset of the company. The company’s Outdoor Audio division features speakers that are not the cheapest option, but they definitely sound the best.
Resonado
Engineering Support for Flat Core Speaker Technology
Resonado, a South Bend, Indiana company founded at the University of Notre Dame, had a new take on electrodynamic speaker topology. The company developed a reconfigured speaker with a planar voice coil mounted perpendicularly to its flat “race track” diaphragm. Resonado calls it Flat Core Speaker (FCS) technology, and the ingenious architecture enables slightly thinner, lighter, and more efficient speakers than conventional equivalents. Applications are wide-ranging from soundbars, home theater, column speakers, automotive to headphone drivers.
Beats Headphones
The Beats headphone project started with Steven Lamar and Pentagram (industrial design). Menlo Scientific worked with INNacoustic on the driver design and associated electronics.
Unified IP Phone - VOIP
Cisco's first VoIP phone, code name Telecaster and released in 1997. Over 30 million in use today. Menlo worked with IDEO providing telephony acoustic engineering. Transducers and acoustic aspects essentially unchanged for over a decade.
Catalyst Bluetooth Sports Earbuds
Support for ammunition group in the development and acoustic performance, sourcing, and related efforts for productization by Monster and Interscope.
PUMP Bluetooth Earbuds
Application of advanced acoustics to wind noise pre-filtering for DSP processing, aerodynamic design for wind noise avoidance, review of signal processing providers for hands free products.
