Aumeo

[RubenV.]

Let's say each of us has different hearing sensitivity and let's also say the ideal would be to deliver a corrected signal for our individual hearing profile. Aumeo claims to deliver just that:
"Why do you need Aumeo?
Because it's a well-known fact that everybody hears differently. Like our eyes, nose, mouth and all our sensory organs, not all ears are built the same. But your audio equipment has no way of knowing just exactly how differently you hear.

Therefore your audio equipment can't take your unique hearing into account when they deliver sound to you, and have to assume that their users have the same 'standardized' hearing."

Interesting, no?



There's a 3.5mm analog in/out as well as Bluetooth capability and a built-in amplifier making the Aumeo geared for headphone use. The DSP inside runs at 24-bit/48kHz and the amplifier is rated at 96dB S/N. The company has stated that if all goes well with their Indiegogo campaign, they may create another version for Hi-Fi use without that amp. I'd add RCA ins and outs as well a higher resolution DSP engine to that wish list. Just remember to adjust your Hi-Fi's DSP so it doesn't correct Aumeo's correction ;-)


Al met al een interessant project vind ik zelf, vandaar dat ik deze ook heb gebacked. Als het goed is krijg ik ergens in November het uiteindelijke product.
