Audios Featured on Digital Trends: In-depth Article About the Technology Behind Audios, and Reflection Into the Beginnings of Audios
Erik Young seems like the last person who would attempt to disrupt the $27 billion dollar global loudspeaker industry, yet, Young has a pattern of defying the odds. His company, Audios, is an all-out assault on some of the biggest, most established audio brands in the world.
You would think that given how long wireless audio technology has been around, a major brand would have already developed an Audios-like product, but Young seems to have found a weakness in the pro audio industry. Right now, the most powerful fully wireless speaker we’ve found is the New Soundboks, which is Bluetooth-only and has a five-speaker limit for wireless pairing. Lacking a better solution, many DJs have resorted to using wireless transmitters and receivers as a workable but expensive alternative. But these hacks still don’t address the power problem.
The Batteries of the Future
Young has solved the power problem by equipping each Audios speaker with a set of hot-swappable lithium-ion batteries. “The batteries are seven times larger than the largest battery of any competitor that we were able to find,” Young said. At full charge, these cells can keep the speakers running for up to 10 hours. The Audios speakers are capable of an impressive maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 132 decibels — only slightly quieter than a jet airplane taking off. Currently, the Audios system can connect up to 16 speakers, with a maximum coverage of 100 feet.
