About Musegg Einstaklingssniðið hljóðkerfi
Musegg endurskilgreinir hágæða hljómtækni með því að skapa jafnvægi milli listar, hljómskynjunar og sjálfbærni. Glæsilegt, einfalt ytra form þess snýst um sporöskjulaga þverskurð sem byggir á gullna hlutfallinu. Hönnunin fellur óaðfinnanlega inn í nútímaleg rými og eykur hljóðræna eiginleika. Hljóðhönnunarregla hennar setur aðlögunarhæfni framar fullkomnun og gerir kleift að stilla hljómfræðina úr fjarlægð til að hámarka hljómupplifun hvers og eins. Sjálfbær hönnun veitir tafarlausar rafrænar uppfærslur án verkfæra og lengir þannig endingartíma vélrænna og rafvélrænna íhluta.
The Recognition
About the A' Design Award í silfri
Musegg Einstaklingssniðið hljóðkerfi vann A' Design Award í silfri, gífurlega virta viðurkenningu sem veitt er hönnunarverkum í fremstu röð, stórfallegum og áhrifamiklum. Sigurvegarar í silfri eru ákaflega snjöll og afar skapandi verk sem sýna framúrskarandi sérfræðiþekkingu, hæfileika og skarpskyggni hönnuða sinna. Þess er vænst að Musegg Einstaklingssniðið hljóðkerfi sé dásamlegt sýningarverk sem er einstaklega fagmannlegt og djúpt nýstárlegt. Þetta hönnunarverk sem vann A' Design Award í silfri er mjög athyglisverð, dáð uppfinning sem gagnast og færir mörk listar, vísinda, hönnunar og tækni fram á við. Musegg Einstaklingssniðið hljóðkerfi er mjög öfunduð sköpun sem vekur langanir, færir jákvæðar tilfinningar og kveikir undrun og aðdáun.

- Unique Properties
- Musegg's industrial design centers around an elliptical cross-section developed using the golden ratio. It positively influences acoustic properties while seamlessly integrating into modern spaces. It connects with widely used IoT and streaming services, allowing for remote-fitting acoustics to achieve the desired sound. A unique feature globally! The value preservation concept extends the lifespan of mechanical and electromechanical components, enabling instant tool-free electronic upgrades.

- Production Technology
- For manufacturing the enclosure, we combine thermoplastics as a material with the structural design of a composite sandwich buildup. This allows us to set stiffness and damping as needed, making manufacturing more efficient than for wooden housings. We exclusively use recycled thermoplastic materials, steel, and aluminum for manufacturing to ensure that everything can be recycled. In addition to a local operating system, a cloud system was developed as an interface between the user and the company for remote-fitting acoustics.
- Design Challenge
- 1. A manufacturing process for the enclosure had to be developed in which 8 thermoplastic parts can be seamlessly and flawlessly assembled to a monocoque, and easily coated with an ultra-matte finish, what makes silhouette even appear slimmer.
2. A process of remote interaction between user and audio specialist with synchronous data transfer was developed. While collecting the customer's needs, the specialist can view user data, analyze it, and create an acoustic fitting, which the user can set at the device on-site. - Research
- The center of our audio design philosophy is the human being and hearing characteristics. Hearing ability changes with age, and our habits and experiences shape our perception of sound. Everyone perceives music differently and has unique preferences. Even the environment in which we listen significantly affects the playback. Building a perfect speaker is not possible. Instead, a sound core that allows the greatest possible degree of freedom for personal customization is the best solution to cater to user needs.
- Inspiration
- While Bluetooth speakers today offer excellent industrial design, usability, connectivity, and good sound at an affordable price, premium HiFi, also known as high-end, still clings to its towers of gear. One function per device as it was 30 years ago. This market observation inspired us to adapt premium HiFi for a new generation. It should offer good design without taking up much space, be easily accessible for trial, audio-fitted to the user, and seamlessly integrate into users' rapidly evolving environment.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Graz, Austria, in September 2018. The design and MVP were presented in 2019. In 2021, electronic modules coupling "one.click" were developed. By 2022, the operating system, cloud application, and mobile applications had been developed to a stage where they could be demonstrated to the public. The level of industrialization allowed for the production of Series 0. In 2023, units from Series 1 were delivered in our reusable packaging. In 2024, Series 2 was produced using a new scaled production process.
- Operation Flow
- Musegg is delivered in a reusable flight case. Unzip, screw on stands, put in place, and connect to peripherals. In 6 minutes, you're done. After measurement and remote-fitting acoustics, Musegg seamlessly integrates into first-party platforms like Apple Home, Spotify, or Tidal. Measurement equipment and flight cases are collected for reuse. In case of a hardware upgrade, the old electronics module is returned to the factory and replaced by the newest version. Individual settings are restored from a cloud.
