It started with a ceiling light globe......

A fuzzy vision.

For years I have been looking at the equation of conference mics and speaker placement. The best place to put the speakers is in the middle of the hollow U table set, facing the backs of the mics. This is generally ugly, and requires a lot of speakers for good coverage.

All of the ideas I had prior were complex and expensive...but one day I had an epiphany....and from there the adventure began...

It started with the realization that I needed to fabricate a lens. This lens, paired with the speaker that appeared in my epiphany, was the magic trick. Obviously, there were a lot of hardware problems to solve along the way....
