Remora Pro utilizes AntennaWare’s BodyWave technology

Launching at High End 2024 in Munich, Remora Pro is the world’s first head-worn computing platform specifically for audio, bringing personalized audio experiences via downloadable plugins to professional users of over-ear headphones and headsets using Sonical’s Headphone 3 platform.

In addition to supporting Bluetooth, Remora Pro also incorporates UWB (Ultra Wideband) technology to create a UWB transmitter and receiver which is compatible with all existing headphones and headsets. The wireless platform can also be used with speakers and microphones.

Interest in UWB is growing rapidly within the audio sector as  it can offer the data rates required for uncompressed Linear PCM Hi-Res audio (i.e. 24-bit/96 kHz), with imperceptible latency. However, UWB also suffers from connectivity weaknesses caused by body blocking and detuning when placed close to the human body. To address these known limitations whilst exploiting UWB’s potential, the Remora Pro design team has incorporated AntennaWare’s BodyWave antenna technology into the build.

Specifically designed for wireless wearables, BodyWave antenna technology addresses the key technical issues experienced by wireless devices when placed close to, or on the body - including body blocking and detuning. With increased radiation efficiency and increased detuning immunity, BodyWave achieves between 10-20 dB link budget improvement in Non Line-of-Sight applications compared to alternative antenna solutions.

“Remora Pro will be used by audio professionals including DJs, audio engineers, broadcast operators, and gamers, so it is vital that the audio experience is not compromised in any way by wireless connectivity issues”, says Sonical CEO Gary Spittle.

“We’ve worked closely with the Remora development team to incorporate BodyWave technology, ensuring wireless performance is maximised, even under conditions that would normally be challenging”, adds AntennaWare’s CEO and co-founder Gareth Conway.
