HiWave Technologies Information

HiWave is the new name for the company formerly called NXT that was set up to develop flat panel loudspeaker technology using Bending Wave Physics. NXT created Intellectual Property enabling excitation of many sizes, shapes and types of surface to create conformal and panel speakers. Further development led to Balanced Mode Radiators, a full-range wide-angle speaker driver delivering true-to-life audio reproduction. The ability to handle low frequencies enables sub-audio waveforms to be utilised in tactile, or haptic feedback, and NXTʼs technology proved to offer superlative solutions for haptic response in touch screens and panels. The technological realisation of Bending Wave Physics encompasses the software, hardware and transducer technology required to deliver top quality audio and haptic solutions to consumer, computing, automotive, industrial and aerospace market sectors. HiWave offers a range of products encompassing physical and electronic components and platforms that offer designers a rapid route to market with market-leading technology. Why HiWave?... Human Interface Waveforms! Why is Human Interface so important?... In todayʼs world of converged consumer electronics, the user needs to make use of all senses to optimise efficient usage. Audio cues, voice prompts, tactile feedback all enhance the userʼs productivity. Consumers also deserve the best in audio entertainment, and thanks to HiWave, the best experience at an affordable price is now a reality.
