Sound placed with intent
Museums & exhibitions
Looking for exhibit audio that informs one visitor without spilling into the next gallery? EDC's beam-shaping loudspeakers confine sound to a defined area, Volumetric Wavefield Synthesis keeps an immersive image stable as visitors move, and the forthcoming Octoid and Quadoid loudspeakers confine sound to an eighth or a quarter of a sphere for personal listening without headphones.
Museums and exhibitions require sound to inform and engage without intruding. Multiple audio experiences often coexist within the same space. EDC systems precisely contain sound so it exists only where it is intended. Visitors can engage with exhibits individually without acoustic overlap. Sound becomes part of the exhibit rather than a source of noise.
Three tools for one problem
- Beam-shaping loudspeakers confine a soundtrack to the footprint of its exhibit.
- Volumetric Wavefield Synthesis keeps an immersive image stable for every visitor in a themed space, so the experience does not depend on where they stand.
- Octoid and Quadoid radiation — coming soon — delivers sound to an individual listener without intruding on the visitor beside them.
The Custom Shop fabricates cabinets that disappear into scenery for themed entertainment and experiential environments.

Frequently asked questions
Can sound be delivered to one visitor without affecting others?
Focused precision makes it possible to deliver sound to individuals without headphones. The forthcoming Octoid and Quadoid loudspeakers are designed specifically for this, confining sound to an eighth or a quarter of a sphere.
Can exhibits with different soundtracks sit side by side?
Yes. Beams are shaped to the footprint of each exhibit so adjacent experiences coexist without acoustic overlap.
Can loudspeakers be disguised as part of the exhibit?
EDC's Custom Shop builds cabinets that read as rocks, architectural features or themed props while keeping the acoustic performance.
