Layered Sound is the term to describe the process of combining a conventional and a bending, transverse wave panel loudspeaker (by far, the best example of a Panel loudspeaker today is the Podium Sound loudspeaker) to reproduce the same audio signal. The unique feature of a Layered Sound system is its ability to propagate both , and binaurally de-correlated sound, in the , and independently of the acoustic space in which the Layered Sound system is located.

Layered Sound is an excellent example of synergy: the result of combining two completely different methods of is a sound which is measurably and perceptually much better than the anticipated sum of the Furthermore, the weaknesses inherent in both technologies are respectively masked by the other’s strengths. In retrospect, it seems an obvious thing to do. In practice, the discovery of Layered Sound is a long story, and it's not over yet...

In simple terms, Layered Sound will

- make a small, dry room sound spacious

- increase clarity in a reverberant space

- dramatically improve diffusion in large spaces

- improve imaging and

- provide depth - a spacious sound - even at low volume levels
