    ABOUT Cear pavé

    Cear pavé 2nd Generation

    Speaker with Cear Field

    You can hear sounds beyond the visible world.
    The usual sound becomes 3D surround from the palm of your hand. The world's first portable speaker with Snapdragon Sound™ sound

    Until now, speaker listening required people to move to the sweet spot because the position of the speaker was fixed. To address this challenge, we have developed Cear pavé, a palm-sized, cube-shaped speaker that allows you to easily bring the sweet spot near you. Cear pavé, powered by our proprietary sound field control algorithm called Cear Field*, provides an overwhelmingly expansive three-dimensional sound field that goes far beyond the visible world in front of you.

    *Cear Field consists of two main technologies:
    1.Real-time analysis of audio signals, focusing on factors like phase differences and amplitude variations between the left and right channels to separate and construct sound sources in a clear form.
    2.Crosstalk cancellation technology, which properly repositions the front and left-right channels.
    The frequency characteristics of speakers change just by shifting their placement.
    Therefore, when you spread the sound from the front-facing speaker to the left and right, the sound quality changes significantly, causing blurriness or distortion of sound. Cear Field technology effectively corrects this.
