This time, ExAUDIO is a high-end audio brand from California, USA.Synergistic ResearchWe have started handling.
The company is known as a total system brand that covers everything from cables to power management and acoustic tuning, but what first caught ExAUDIO's attention was their acoustic tuning product line. The trigger wasBlack Box CarbonandVibratron SXWhat I actually experienced. The effect can be summed up in one word: ``impressive.'' The encounter with these two products led to the decision to carry this product.
Black Box Carbon——Reduces bass blur
A box about 25cm square. When you hold it in your hand and shake it a little, you can feel the inside of it as if it were a bellows vibrating in your palm. When I put it in my room, thinking, "How effective will it be?", the bass was perfectly balanced.
When you try it with or without the Black Box, it's interesting to see how cluttered and disorganized the bass usually is. It feels like it's ``adjusting'' the focus of the bass that scatters around the room and becomes blurry. Once you experience this, you won't be able to go back.

Vibratron SX——Organizing Resonance
It looks quite unusual. There are two gold and chrome spheres on the slender stand. The idea for this device came from founder Ted Denny's experience during a voyage in the South Pacific, where the singing bowls of Tibetan Buddhist temples dramatically transformed spatial acoustics.
The basic placement is in the center between the speakers, directly facing the listening point, which can be difficult depending on the layout of the room. However, the effect is clear: Just as Black Box Carbon smooths out the bass, Vibratron SX smooths out the resonance generated by reflection in the audio room by smoothing out the flow of the space. Regardless of logicholographic soundstageThe expression "changes" is exactly applicable.Combined with its presence, just placing it in a room can create a dignified and unique atmosphere, inspired as it is by temples.
On the other hand, combining the Black Box with the Vibratron SX can sometimes make everything in the sound field feel overly precise. For recordings where the chaotic background atmosphere is actually part of the charm, such as live recordings, some individuals may feel that the raw live vibe gets spoiled. This is not so much a flaw as it is proof of the product's powerful effect. The key is to skillfully use it while adjusting the placement to match the character of the album.

Does not interfere with interior design — this is also an important point
When it comes to acoustic adjustment, many people might imagine a room filled with sound-absorbing materials or reflective panels. Messy adjustment materials ruining the atmosphere of the room — a common scenario in audio rooms. Synergistic Research’s acoustic products excel in this regard as well: the Black Box Carbon has a calm, composed box design, and the Vibratron SX is more like a piece of decor that can stand as part of the interior. There is no need for any sound-absorbing materials or adjustment panels, allowing acoustic tuning while keeping the room tidy. For those who want to value both audio and living design, this can be said to be the ultimate solution.
Acoustic tuning that functions as an ecosystem
Despite being as small as a shirt button, the HFT (High Frequency Transducer) responds to sound pressure, electromagnetic energy, and RF, emitting ultrasonic energy in real time. Products like the FEQ Carbon actively shape the acoustic characteristics of a room. Each of Synergistic Research’s products has its own role, and combining them can elevate the system to an even higher level. Starting with the Black Box Carbon or Vibratron SX and gradually building the system is also part of the enjoyment.
ExAUDIO will continue to gradually expand its lineup. Please experience this unique world of acoustic tuning for yourself.
