Emo Labs says it has developed a speaker that delivers great sound, despite the limited space in high-definition TVs. The company describes its speakers as “invisible” and “zero-footprint,” and says the experience is like hearing great stereo sound coming directly from the television display. It’s launching at DEMOfall 09, the technology conference co-produced by VentureBeat.
While on-stage, the company acknowledged that you can get great sound quality with external speakers, but those come with their own disadvantages. There are lots of cables to connect, and you also deal with the sometimes disconcerting experience of seeing video and audio coming from two different locations.
Emo Labs speakers, on the other hand, basically look like a pane of glass, and when added to a flatscreen television really was invisible. I’m not an audio expert, but it sounded good, too.
