Why NXT will be the biggest multi bagger of 2005...6 billion reasons!

from NXT's website:
From automobiles to aeroplanes, NXT technology offers unique audio solutions across the transport arena
Whether it is low profile loudspeakers for automobiles, directly-excited interior panels for aircraft or flat panel PA systems for travel interchanges, NXT technology solves the design issues that exist with conventional technology while delivering sound of the highest quality.

Technologies once only seen in the home such as DVD players, 5.1 systems and hard drive-based music players are now entering the transport sector as consumers look to replicate the domestic entertainment centres on the move. This trend has stimulated demand for complementary loudspeaker solutions allowing drivers and passengers to enjoy high quality entertainment on the move.



NXT technology has many benefits for transport applications -

• High quality - wide sound dispersion capable of producing excellent, cabin filling sound

• Durable - robust, grille-less loudspeakers allowing for the development of external mobile home loudspeakers capable of withstanding car wash cycles and pressure washers

• Unique - flat diaphragms can be produced in innumerable finishes, creating differentiation within a flooded market of aftermarket loudspeakers

• Flexible - enhanced sound staging can be achieved using low profile loudspeakers that can be placed in locations not possible with conventional technology (headliners, sun visors, even the rear view mirror)

• Economical - NXT technology can also attract space and weight savings when employed in vehicle cabins, while the reduced component count can create potential cost savings



Furthermore, by using the interior trim of a vehicle as the loudspeaker membrane (direct drive) it is possible to reduce cabin noise as the additional holes required by conventional technology become obsolete

NXT – the perfect audio solution for mobile communications
Mobile products need to utilise audio technology that can reduce weight and save space. NXT has the perfect solution with SoundVu where the protective lens in front of the display becomes the loudspeaker. The user experience is optimised because the sound emanates directly from the image. Traditional technology needs to have a speaker positioned away from the display, often directing audio away from the user.

If it is not applicable to use the display as the loudspeaker, NXT audio technology can also be used to turn alternative parts of a product into a loudspeaker, such as the casing. The advantages of weight and space savings can still be realised. NXT audio is particularly suited to products to be used in harsh environments as there is no requirement for speaker grille slots.



The advantages of using NXT technology in mobile products –



• Synchronised A/V- sound comes directly from the display so the user experiences optimum synchronicity of video and audio.

• Lightweight - NXT uses a small, lightweight component to transfer the audio signal from the amplifier and make the display emit sound. This can reduce overall size and weight

• Efficient - when NXT components are used with optimised amplifiers, it is possible to reduce power consumption. As the battery is a large component in a mobile product, any savings in this area will be advantageous

• Robust - products can be sealed against water and dirt ingress and still have full audio capability
