The Munich High End show was the international platform chosen to unveil Remora PRO, a UWB and Bluetooth LE Audio wireless transmitter/receiver device that will pave the way for the highest quality experiences in personal audio and professional uses. Remora PRO is also the world’s first wearable computing platform specifically for audio, bringing personalized audio experiences via downloadable plugins to professional users of over-ear headphones and headsets using Sonical's platform. Remora PRO is fully compatible with all existing headphones and headsets and can also be used with wireless speakers and microphones.
Interest in UWB is growing rapidly within the audio sector as it can offer the data rates required for uncompressed Linear PCM Hi-Res audio, such as 24-bit/96kHz, with imperceptible latency. However, UWB also suffers from connectivity weaknesses caused by body blocking and detuning when placed close to the human body.
To address these known limitations whilst exploiting UWB's potential, the Remora design team has incorporated AntennaWare's BodyWave antenna technology into the build. Specifically designed to address the negative issues of body blocking and detuning experienced by wireless wearable devices, BodyWave antennas offer the only true solution to ensuring a robust, glitch-free link.
Formed in 2020 by Gareth Conway and Matthew Magill as a spin-out from Queens University, Belfast, AntennaWare combines 20 years of cutting-edge academic research with industry expertise to develop the BodyWave range of antennas. As the only antenna specifically designed for wireless wearables, BodyWave antenna technology addresses the key technical issues experienced by wireless devices when placed close to, or on the body. With increased radiation efficiency, increased detuning immunity, and unique BodyWave propagation, BodyWave achieves between 10-20dB link budget improvement in Non Line-of-Sight applications compared to alternative antenna solutions.
"Remora PRO is truly an exceptional and innovative product pushing the boundaries of what professional users and consumers can expect from their audio experience, and UWB technology is an important aspect of this innovation. We've worked closely with the Remora development team to incorporate BodyWave technology, ensuring wireless performance is maximized, even under conditions that would normally be challenging. It’s fantastic to see Remora unveiled at High End in Munich and to be a part of this story of innovation," adds AntennaWare’s CEO and co-founder Gareth Conway.
