GAIT and NEG Sign Strategic Partnership To Deliver Ultra-Thin Glass Diaphragm Technology Solutions

Glass Acoustic Innovations Ltd. (GAIT) announced a strategic partnership with leading glass manufacturer Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. (NEG), to deliver ultra-thin glass diaphragm technology solutions intended for high-performance acoustic diaphragms in headphones and earphones. This collaboration marks a significant evolutionary milestone for GAIT, uniting two industry leaders in the glass and acoustic industries.

Ora Sound Graphene, the Canadian company that is the world's first commercial producer of free-standing graphene membranes for speaker drivers, announced the closing of its $3 million Seed financing round today.

Existing investors TandemLaunch, and BoxOne Ventures also participated in the round.

In August 2018, audioXpress published an article documenting the cutting-edge research by leading acoustic experts, Jorge Castro, Nathaniel Bailey, Bruno Fazenda, and Kelvin Griffiths to determine improvements on precise low-frequency absorption. The tests, performed at Electroacoustic Design, in Porthcawl, South Wales, UK, determined a method to predict finite element analysis of the performance of weighted diaphragmatic membrane absorbers, the predominant acoustic core now employed in Artnovion's latest Eiger Sub Trap range of acoustic panels.
