“In homes like this, the client isn’t buying speakers—they’re buying permission to feel something bigger than the room, without sacrificing the room. The magic is that the system behaves like a luxury service: always available, never demanding attention, and tailored to the moment. That’s why the strongest compliments came from everyone who lived with it—even the people who didn’t choose it”
Michael Kraske
Challange
Create no-compromise, high-end performance in an open-plan living/dining space dominated by full-length glass—without interrupting breathtaking views or artwork—while delivering controlled coverage in multiple listening directions and with virtually no acoustic-treatment options.
Solution
- We developed the ‘Cinema LTM’ concept to control vertical and horizontal dispersion, paired it with a bass-array, and used multi-channel high-resolution DSP focused on low frequencies. Immersive rendering is handled by Illusonic 16-channel processing (custom firmware), with presets that adapt orientation, decoding, and use-cases—from subtle background listening to full party mode.

Designer’s insight
When a room is this beautiful, any visible tech feels like an intrusion—so the real challenge becomes psychological as much as acoustic. By making the system ‘disappear’ while staying instantly adaptable through presets, you’re not just delivering sound quality; you’re reducing the mental friction of using it. And when people use something effortlessly, they value it more—because it feels like it was made for them.
