## About

Founded in 2020 and based in California, US, EDGE Sound Research Inc. operates as a consumer electronics company that designs and manufactures deep technology-based audio equipment and devices. The company was founded by Ethan Castro and Valtteri Salomaki.  The company has developed Embodied Sound technology, which turns everyday objects into high-quality sound emitters, providing a multi-sensory audio experience involving both hearing and touch. This innovation allows users to perceive sound through both senses simultaneously, offering an audio interaction beyond conventional speaker setups. The system generates sound that can be felt throughout the body, enriching the overall auditory experience in various settings like music venues, live events, sports stadiums, and virtual reality environments. Key components of the Embodied Sound™ system comprise the Embodied Sound™ Control Hub (amplifiers and computing power), ResonX™ Core (transducer array attached to objects), and Embodied Sound™ Dashboard (software interface for setup and management). In June 2025, EDGE Sound Research Inc. raised an undisclosed amount of venture funding from USTA Ventures.

The company plans to utilize the June 2025 funding to develop audio transducer infrastructure, automate sound isolation system, and implement venue-based broadcast enhancement platform.
