Comhear is an audio technology company creating the next generation of audio products for home and business.
The company's mission is to disrupt traditional speakers and headphones with true 3D Audio.
Existing investors include Peter Lynch (Fidelity Investments), and Brad Buss (Tesla board member and former CFO of SolarCity).
The company was the Winner of the 2017 CES Innovation Award for High Performance Home Audio/Video,
The company, which has 18 Granted & Pending Patents in its IP portfolio, has a development relationship with the University of California San Diego.
Customers include California's Great America theme park in Santa Clara, CA. In partnership with Electronic Arts, Bioware and Cedar Fair, Comhears technology was integrated into the new Mass Effect attraction.
One of its current initiatives is to redefine the sound bar for entertainment, gaming and VR with true 3D audio. Comhear technology is capable of reproducing immersive sounds in 3D because it targets discrete beams of sound into user’s left and right ears and syncs sound with the images on the screen. Users will experience 3D sounds exactly as they would in the real world.
Its first commercial product is the YARRA 3DX. This is an advanced entertainment Sound Bar with an array of 12 audio drivers and a proprietary algorithm to deliver immersive 3D Sound. This innovation is driven by "MyBeam™" beamforming and sound field modeling that allow users to hear 3D audio without the need for surround sound systems or headphones. A single YARRA 3DX sound projector replaces an entire room full of discrete speakers.
YARRA 3DX brings cutting edge, patented digital processing to an array of phase aligned, precision engineered drivers to produce a uniquely natural way to hear sound. The product is aimed at all users, whether they are "an audiophile, family Netflix viewer or hard core gamer."
