Sphere

The sphere, designed in 2005 and restyled during the Architettura Sonora experience, between 2008 and 2009. The Sphere is a pure omnidirectional speaker. It has a pure vocation to behave as an undetectable sound source - specially due to its lower deflector and its spherical wave guide - and it's often perceived as a structural sound function, assuming that the shape of the Sphere moves totally from the "hidden function of sound emitter" into the decorative function of hte material sphere, similarly to what happens to a Column and its structural and aesthetic functions.

Experience design goal: wide environmental sound attraction, with a strong full range mimetic attitude.

Big YOYO

First designed as mainly a low-medium frequency loudspeaker at Giardino Sonoro in 2005, the Big YOYO had for the Architettura Sonora catalogue a new restyle in 2011-2012, adding a diffuser making it omnidirectional also at the high frequencies. It's a powerful "sound fountain", this fully explains its' potent appearing and landscape solitary attitude. It resembles a natural sound sources, as if you are approaching a river, its' difficult to say which portion of the flow is sounding: the Big Yoyo has a strong capability to express and exemplify the wide body of an environmental sound source.

Experience design goal: wide omnidirectional sound attraction, with a full range monumental appeal. The more you get closer, the more it speaks to you.

Small YOYO

One of the first directional sound module Lorenzo Brusci has ever designed. It's a mid-high range sound module, able to alert and point at speficic outdoor postures. It's ideal to design soundpaths and to alternate it with omnidirectional sound modules as the Sphere.

Experience design goal: highly directional sound attraction, with a mid-range pointing action. It's a dipole front/rear speaker.

Dolphin

An asymmetrical suspended sound emitter, designed in the current shape in 2007, during the editing session of a feasibility study assigned by GLA (Greater London Authority). It's finally produced in Nomex, after some early versions (different sizes) made in fiberglass. The asymmetrical shape allows to mask/shield and orientate the diffusion towards the left side and the front-side (the longest "tongue" wave-guiding the high frequency), favoring the attenuation of sound diffusion in certain areas, then allowing other eventual emitters with their electroacoustic behaviors to influence spatial functions and their sound-related practices.

Experience design goal: vertical sound attraction, with a strong and long front cue.

Helmet

A symmetrical suspended sound emitter, designed in the current shape between 2008 and 2009, first studies delivered and prototyped at IED, assisted by designer Stefano Bonetti; then finalized at Architettura Sonora. It's finally produced in Nomex, after some early versions (different sizes) made in fiberglass. The symmetrical shape allows to orientate the diffusion downwards with a strong attitude to the frontal projection, favoring an high attenuation of SPL aside and in the back; allowing other eventual emitters with their electroacoustic behaviors to influence spatial functions and their sound-related practices.

Experience design goal: vertical sound attraction, with a strong front cue.

A symmetrical suspended sound emitter, designed in the current shape between 2008 and 2009, first studies delivered and prototyped at IED, assisted by designer Stefano Bonetti, then finalized at Architettura Sonora in 2010. It's finally produced in Nomex, after some early versions (different sizes) made in fiberglass. The symmetrical shape allows to orientate the diffusion downwards with a strong attitude to the frontal projection, favoring an high attenuation of SPL aside and in the rear, this allowing  eventual other sound emitters with specific electroacoustic behaviors to influence spatial functions and sound-related practices.

Experience design goal: vertical sound attraction, with a strong front cue.

Drop

A symmetrical suspended sound emitter, designed in the current shape in Berlin, 2008, assisted and consulted by designer Fabio Schillaci; the module was then finalized at Architettura Sonora during 2009. It's finally produced in Nomex, after some early versions (different sizes) made in fiberglass. The symmetrical vertical-developed shape allows to orientate the diffusion downwards with a strong attitude to the vertical projection, favoring the attenuation of sound diffusion in collateral areas and in the rear; it's use allows eventual other sound emitters and their related electroacoustic behaviors to interact with and influence its properties and the overall spatial functions and the sound-related practices.

Experience design goal: vertical sound attraction.

Small Drop

A symmetrical suspended sound emitter, designed in the current shape in Florence, 2010, assisted by designer Stefano Bonetti; the module was the evolution of the pre-existing DROP. It's finally produced in Nomex. The symmetrical vertical-developed shape allows to orientate the diffusion downwards with a strong attitude to the vertical/frontal projection, favoring the attenuation of sound diffusion in collateral areas and in the rear; it's use allows eventual other sound emitters and their related electroacoustic behaviors to interact with and influence its properties, the overall spatial functions and sound-related practices.

Experience design goal: vertical sound attraction, with a large front cue.

Shark

Designed in 2009 together with Alessandro Genovese, it's a suspended highly efficient subwoofer.

Experience design goal: not to be interfering with the ground absorbency conflicts and free the ground floor from its presence.
