Editor's Notes
- I'm Ahren, CEO + Product Engineer of Audiovert
- PERSONALIZATION - Living spaces - dorm room - bachelor pad - first home with an SO ... deck it out. Make it personal We do this with nearly everything. Laptop backgrounds, phone cases, clothes, etc... I didn't pick this shirt because it was convenient, I picked it because I think it's hot. We bring things into our lives that reflect who we are, that allow us to share with others what we're passionate about. And we do that because it feels so good to be surrounded with things that resonate with us internally.
- Since the greater majority of this room listen to music on a daily basis, why should the audio products we use be any different?
- Music is inherently a very social, expressive, and energizing mode of art, and I believe the devices reproducing the music should reflect these elements. I see the typical "black box" speaker as a blank canvas to be made into something beautiful, something that resonates with people on a personal level, just as their favorite tunes do. That's exactly what Audiovert has been working on to provide.
- INTRODUCING THE HEXON Introducing the Hexon, the world's first customizeable modular speaker system. In addition to the pumping volume and wireless connectivity standard to most systems, the Hexon goes above and beyond by, for the first time, enabling consumers to get out of their speaker systems exactly what they are looking for ...regarding price point, size, color, loudness capabilities. While the home audio market is large, it is highly saturated with over-featured, middle aged male focused products and after-market speaker “tin cans.” There’s a disconnect between this products and what consumers are looking for out of their systems.

While the home audio market is large, it is highly saturated with over-featured, middle aged male focused products and after-market speaker “tin cans.” There’s a disconnect between this products and what consumers are looking for out of their systems.
- Specifically, consumers have control of the shape of their system and can arrange it as such.
- Not only that, they can make high-level changes to the sound of the speaker.
- And the coolest part of all is that they can choose the color and designs of each panel, allowing for infinite possibilities of what your speaker can be like. The speaker is uniquely yours. A feature completely unique to a consumer electronics product. * Currently sourcing designs from Chicago-based artists
- We're not just building a speaker system. We are building a platform that EMBODIES the inherent personal artistic expression of music. A product that connects people just as music does. A platform that allows inspiration and exploration through shared expression.
- This product allows for growth. If at some point the speaker no longer suits your tastes, it can be rearranged, redesigned, and expanded through the purchase of individual face plates or speaker panels as opposed to an entirely new system.
- WHY IS IT A GOOD IDEA? - Visceral feedback + numerous requests for pre-orders - Success of companies based on similar ideas (Timbuk2, Threadless, Bucketfeet) - Increasing popularity of wireless audio products Increasing popularlity of IoT products $22.5 B: Home Audio $5.3 B: Wireless Audio (94% CAGR) $900 M: 4.5 million units ($200 per) Success of early prototypes
