- Ultrasonic Audio’s wall-mounted sound systems are four years in the making
- The Slovenian company has distribution agreements in 18 countries; say UK and Australia ‘coming soon’
- Prices for the H2O model start at $4,472, but you can “design your own”
Remember in chemistry class when you learned to draw a water molecule because it had one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, connected by strong polar covalent bonds?
I can still hear my science teacher yelling “Remember! Covalent bonds are happy bonds”, and ‘happy’ is undoubtedly what I would be if I could install the Flora 5 (main image) and H2O (image below) on different walls of my home.
What you’re looking at is Molecule, a wall-mounted, modular hi-fi sound system made by Slovenian audio specialist Ultrasonic Audio after nearly four years of research and development.
Its makers say it can consist of up to 10 active speakers and a power unit, connected in a custom pattern (Mother Nature not good enough for you, eh?), and the company will happily ask you to ‘design your own’ on its site, which is fun. You can then request a quote for your creation – which might not be quite as much fun.
Great chemistry
The Molecule sound system is, say its creators, designed to “strike a balance between visual aesthetics and high fidelity sound”.
The finish materials are largely natural (copper and wood in either Slovenian walnut or American walnut), and you can choose between large speakers (depth: 108 mm; diameter: 350 mm; weight 3.5 kg) and small speakers (depth: 108 mm; diameter: 300 mm; weight 3 kg), as well as connection options in copper and small pipes and connection units in copper or small. darker patina.
In addition to the Molecule power unit’s two RCA jacks and a 3.5mm jack, Bluetooth is also built in so you can simply ping audio to your Molecules from your phone.
How much is all this going to cost? Well, for the relatively bijou H2O model, prices start from $4,472 (which would be around £3,270 or AU$6,382 before any duties), but there’s scalability here. It is hard to overlook the potential of this system very bigger – I’m thinking “great wall of sound” configurations…
