项目摘要

Surround or multichannel sound is commonly experienced in cinemas and in cultural contexts, such as performances and art gallery exhibitions. This market continues to grow steadily. For instance, Dolby Atmos has been recently adopted by major media streaming platforms such as Netflix and Apple Music.Our project envisions designing a multichannel audio connectivity standard and bespoke loudspeakers that exploit innovative technology by using the most recent versions of the Universal Serial Bus standard (USB Power Delivery, also known as USB PD). The USB connector has established itself as the most common way of connecting electronic accessories. In 2022, the EU passed new rules that require that all manufacturers of portable devices (e.g., laptops, phones, tablets, etc.) must adopt USB-C connectors from 2024\. From 2026, laptop chargers must only use USB-C. Establishing these rules guarantees the reduction of electronic waste and eliminates the complexity of connectivity we face today. Sonalux will take advantage of the new USB PD standard, and integrate it into commercial loudspeakers, specifically designed for the purpose of multichannel sound connectivity. We will develop a new standard that will allow the production of speakers for surround audio at an affordable level via a single connector, reaching the growing market of home-theatre equipment.

环绕声或多通道声音在电影院和文化背景下通常经验丰富，例如表演和美术馆展览。这个市场继续稳定增长。例如，Dolby Atmos最近已被Netflix和Apple Music等主要媒体流媒体平台采用。我们的项目设想设计一个多通道音频连接标准和定制的扬声器，通过使用通用串行总线标准（USB Power）（USB驱动程序）（也称为USB PD）来利用创新技术。 USB连接器已将自己确立为连接电子配件的最常见方法。在2022年，欧盟通过了新规则，要求所有便携式设备的制造商（例如，笔记本电脑，电话，平板电脑等）必须从2024年开始采用USB-C连接器。从2026年开始，笔记本电脑充电器必须只使用USB-C。制定这些规则可以保证减少电子废物，并消除我们今天面临的连通性的复杂性。 Sonalux将利用新的USB PD标准，并将其集成到商业扬声器中，该扬声器专门为多通道声音连接而设计。我们将开发一个新的标准，该标准将通过单个连接器在负担得起的水平上生产扬声器，从而达到室内设备的不断增长的市场。
