QLTY Sound · 01 · The Pair

Grown,
not boxed.

A sealed cylinder carved with a nested Voronoi relief, a printed waveguide, a node that keeps time to the microsecond. Start with a pair. Add more of the same until the room is inside the music.

Sound

A horn only a
printer could make.

Round walls have no panel to sing and no edge to diffract. In front of the dome sits an oblate-spheroid waveguide, tuned by regenerating a file, so the tweeter's beam matches the woofer's right where they hand over.

SB Acoustics Norex woofer and silk dome · active LR4 crossover at ~2 kHz · time-aligned in firmware. The woofer sits on a swap-in plate, so a budget tier shares the same body.

Design

Carved, not
decorated.

Every part fits a 200 mm bed. Segments stack on spigots and O-rings. The Voronoi is cut 4 mm into a 7 mm wall in two nested layers — the ribs between cells are the bracing, so the pattern stiffens the shell instead of weakening it.

Tall cells roofed at ≤ 50°: no supports, no sanding, and no two segments alike.

Network

One cable.
Sub-microsecond.

Power over Ethernet in, music out. Each node is an ESP32-P4 locked to the hub by IEEE-1588 hardware timestamps and a trimmable audio PLL, driving class-D amps with the crossover in DSP. A left and a right that never drift.

PoE+ 25 W per speaker · 4 amp channels per node · two MEMS mics for room correction.

QLTY Sound · 02 · Atmos Head

Two today.
Eleven when
you're ready.

The crown's lid comes off and the Atmos head drops onto the same spigot: a 20° tilted plate with a 3" driver firing at the ceiling. Centre, surrounds, heights and a stacked sub are the same cylinder with different heads — a 7.1.4-class room on one PoE switch.

The hub takes decoded multichannel PCM from anything that can make it and renders it to whatever is plugged in.
