Massive Global Potential For Kiwi Invention

A new invention is set to have everyone talking – at the same volume.

‘The Moderator’ is an ingenious electronic chip that solves the age-old problem of having to change the volume constantly when watching a TV programme, film or streaming music.

Ian Lamb is the spokesman for Dunedin-based Venturevoip, the company behind the invention, and he says ‘The Moderator’ could go into everything that produces sound.

“With this bit of kit, it’s as if an invisible, telepathic person with instant reflexes is sitting beside the viewer, with a likewise invisible remote ready in hand, constantly and precisely adjusting the volume with perfect anticipation,” he says.

The problem of sound volume variation has been around for years and ‘The Moderator’ achieves an increase in low volume with a reduction in high volume sound while also retaining sound quality. It will be of benefit to those with hearing loss as the sound is levelled out across the quiet and louder volumes, and thankfully for many, it will also help with those booming ad breaks.

Lamb says the technology could be used inside laptops, smart phones, tablets dvd/blu ray players or as a standalone accessory.

“With so many of us using smartphones and tablets to stream music and for visual entertainment now, the market for this technology is huge. A conservative estimate of the global market for even these most obvious devices puts estimated sales (based on 2016 figures related to devices being utilised) at over 2.5 billion units,” he says. “Once users experience what the new technology does, we expect total units sold of these devices to increase year by year for the foreseeable future”.

Venturevoip says there has been some international interest in ‘The Moderator’ and discussions are continuing.
