What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Too early to adopt

Why
Single peer-reviewed lab proof-of-concept at ~1 m / ~60 dB with acknowledged efficiency and distortion limits; no path to product yet.
Next
Track follow-on PNAS/lab work for range, SPL and distortion improvements; revisit if a vendor demos a >2 m, music-grade enclave.
