About HOLOPLOT
HOLOPLOT GmbH is a pro-audio company from Berlin that has been working on the fundamental transformation of audio technology since 2011. The starting point was Wave Field Synthesis, from which Helmut Oellers developed the matrix array technology, combined with additional signal processing and audio beamforming. The product portfolio includes the X1 and X2 matrix array systems, whose multi-layered arrangement of differently sized loudspeaker drivers is individually signal-processed to generate multiple highly directed wavefronts. The hardware is complemented by the HOLOPLOT Software Suite for planning, configuration and operation as well as IoT-enabled devices with monitoring and maintenance via software update. All products are assembled, tested and shipped at the Berlin manufacturing site in Hall 12; every shipped matrix array unit undergoes an automated multi-stage final inspection. Reference projects include the Sphere in Las Vegas; further customers and awards come from the fields of live entertainment, experiential and speech audio.
