BodySound Home Theater Technology
This system would be great for people in an apartment or condo. The speakers are built into the loveseat, so the sound is local just to you, not the whole room. Here's the details from the press release:
Eden Prairie, MN (August 6, 2009) – BodySound Technologies, Inc. now offers a home theater system designed for condominiums, lofts, and apartments, that dramatically differs from existing room surround sound systems. The problem with present day surround sound is that the sound is designed to illuminate the room and typically spreads to adjoining rooms. With the increasing popularity of home theater and condo living, concerns about noisy neighbors have become a bigger issue.
Residents of condominiums and apartments must comply with bylaws causing them to exercise extreme care to avoid unnecessary noise when using radios, televisions, and amplifiers that may disturb others. This makes it impractical to use in-wall speakers and subwoofers, as the sound they produce spreads to adjacent rooms and units.
But that doesn't mean condo owners and renters have to give up on high quality sound. An alternative to traditional room surround sound has been developed by BodySound Technologies, Inc. It’s the fusion of luxury seating and close-field acoustics. The sound comes from the headrest, arms, back, and seat so the sound is focused on each individual listener.
Much less sound spreads throughout the room and adjacent spaces when using BodySound technology.
Each seat powers its 7-speaker array with its own multi-processor audio system. Seating arrangements include recliners, love seats, couches, and connected rows and curves of seats. Seats range in price from approximately $5,000 to $6,000 per seat depending upon the type of arrangement and options.
“Using a traditional surround sound system in a condo requires extensive soundproofing, costing about $8,000 to $10,000”, says Dan Cohen, CEO of BodySound Technologies. “You can’t take those improvements with you when you move unlike BodySound seating.”
