Completed an extensive development phase, a crowdfunding campaign, fundraising rounds, and strategic partnerships, including with Foxconn for production of the analog multichannel D1 chip and a digital C1 smart controller, Noveto is now entering a new stage. The company will be selling the N1 Smart Beaming speaker as a multifunctional smart speaker with a focus on privacy and convenience.
The N1's slim and sleek design fits elegantly into any home office or workspace, with an intuitive, glass-fronted, circular LED display mounted on a smooth, matte black aluminum frame and adjustable stand. The built-in, high-definition beamforming microphones provide a clear, best-in-class audio interaction with communication apps and Alexa. Functioning as invisible headphones, the N1 also features intuitive Bluetooth pairing, volume control and microphone muting for further privacy alongside an easily accessible USB-C port and a 3.5mm in/out jack to connect a secondary audio device.
The audio experience is different from traditional speakers or headphones. Noveto's leading-edge Smart Beaming transmits ultrasound silently through the air, converging in small audible pockets outside the listener's ears. The user experience is enhanced by the front HAL (Heuristic Activity LED) embedded LED circle. N1's smart facial tracking follows the user's head, ensuring that, as if wearing headphones, the experience is one of thoroughly immersive 3D stereo, while people nearby barely hear a thing. Specifications detail an audio volume of up to 85dB SPL around the ears position, with up to 90% audio reduction at 1 meter (3 ft) away from the listener.
With this launch, Noveto believes the N1 could be a perfect device for modern professionals who value their comfort and require privacy combined with seamless audio without restrictions. "The immersive experience breaks down the remoteness of remote-working with video-callers feeling like they are in the same room and supports vital at-home wellness. Whether listening to a favorite podcast or meditating to the sounds of nature, Smart Beaming creates a personalized, cocooned experience, elevating the relaxation of meditation, music, casual entertainment, podcasts and sound therapy," Noveto details.
Among the features and specifications now confirmed for the N1 Smart Beaming speaker, Noveto confirms Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB-C and standard 3.5mm jack connectivity, built-in microphone array, built-in face ID with over-the-air updates and other features available through the companion Noveto App, available in iOS and Android.
Noveto confirms that production of the N1 will begin in December 2021, with the official launch at CES in Las Vegas on 5-8 January 2022, where orders from retailers and distribution partners will be confirmed.
