CES: Kardome Audio Solution Could Serve Virtual Production

The rise of virtual production stages has elevated the importance of finding a solution to echoing and sound distortion on the set. A company called Kardome that has created a sound isolation technology and “Spatial Hearing” solution for automobile cabins may have a solution applicable to the virtual stage. At CES, the company was demonstrating targeted speech and voice tech that brings clarity to speech recognition devices. According to Kardome, its “AI-driven Spatial Hearing and noise reduction technology facilitate a seamless voice recognition experience in any acoustic environment, from the quiet to the chaotic.”

“Kardome’s spatial sound analysis algorithms and innovative speech-AI models leverage reverberations and eliminate interfering noises, focusing on the desired speech with unparalleled accuracy,” CEO and co-founder Dani Cherkassky explains on the company’s blog. “As a result, Kardome knows who is talking, where they’re talking from, and what they’re saying in any soundscape.”

Their approach requires N+1 microphones to isolate and capture each voice in a room with N people speaking (for example: five microphones in a room with four people).

Kardome is promoting number of applications for assisting voice-enabled devices “in the office, home, car or other environments,” in addition to those “used in mixed or virtual reality environments.” High-quality voice capture with echo and noise reduction for virtual production stages was not on their radar until we discussed it with them at length. The reps expressed interest in additional conversations on the matter.
