We wanted the audio effect we found possible only with stereo underwater speakers to be what our recommended equipment line would recreate when using our sonic algorhythms applied in air.
To achieve that, we finally discovered OMNi Sound Loudspeakers omnidirectional Home and Performance Audio Equipment, patented by Edward G. Vollmer and made in the USA by Nevada Sound Research.
We are very proud to announce that Nevada Sound Research’s entire product line is now distributed by Healing Partnerships and is available through contact at sonformula@hotmail.com or by phone (260) 249-3893.
The importance of omnidirectional sound in performance of any sort is HUGE: see below
*************************************************************************************************************
We try to work with the needs of performers however possible to help them be the best they can be in the myriad types of situations in which they find themselves. Here is an example of our planning services for a very special project last year with a budget amount for a Wake:
Dear __________;
The reason I am suggesting the expense of NSR’s Live Performance equipment is due to the traditional reasons for a wake. The wakes were usually held in the home of the deceased, thus creating a perfect environment for recollecting and celebrating the life of the deceased while encouraging the flow of love, laughter and grief among participants so they can connect deeply with each other in honoring their shared loss in a safe and known environment.
Typical live performance audio equipment uses cone shaped speakers which severely limit the sweet spot location and makes it where conversation can only happen with raised voices and shouting. NSR’s patented design is omnipresent (omnidirectional). Normal conversation can happen anywhere in the listening environment with NSR equipment as the entire listening environment is that sweet spot with omnipresent (omnidirectional) sound.
Music, of course, is magical in how it can open the heart, stir the soul, trigger memories and create an environment for emotions to flow.
When memory stirs the heart, that subtle chuckle or sweet gasp of realization needs to be heard to heighten the expression and reception of it by others. That is when the grievers will have their hearts most open to each other and where the healing from loss can fully take root and grow in a newly found depth between loved ones.
We have not discussed the date or location of the wake, the projected attendees, nor special needs of the grievers. However, hearing you speak the other night about your loved one's obviously very deep appreciation and support of art and music and wish for an Irish wake made me reflect on funerals, final expenses and what I would want - since I also have some Irish blood and a deep love of music and art (thus my sonic art and research). I think the below would be a great basis for a fabulous wake.
Add loved ones, great organic food, video of the deceased, and you have legacy and memorial potential that is limited only by further imagination, funding, and family/friend interaction/grieving.
Self - imposed social restraints are a big part of what Irish wakes are designed to remove. In America we are not taught how to grieve. European and other foreign traditions are much more in tune with assisting in the adjustments of the living to life without the physical presence of the deceased.
Hugs to you and your family,
Judy

Technical Overview & Data Sheets
Omnipresent coherent sound:
In a traditional/conventional speaker system, off axis response, degradation and directionality are assumed as invaluable rules. Omni Sound models do NOT have these constraints! Sound waves are propagated from their source omnipresent throughout the spatial listening environment.
These sound waves are both phase and time coherent in an overall spherical radiation pattern from their source. These phase cohesion’s have the effect of reducing the distortion that is caused in traditional/conventional loudspeakers by the induced resonance of out-of-phase reflections; the elimination of this distortion makes the speaker elements more efficient by controlling variable peaks and valleys in the frequency response of the elements.
The effect that coherent sound provides is to extend the channel separation normally optimized for a so called ‘sweet spot’ listening area to ANY location evenly throughout the listening environment. The fact that each speaker in the stereo system is phase coherent eliminates the phase cancellation that occurs in non-coherent implementation i.e.: traditional/conventional speaker systems, thereby providing the listener excellent channel separation regardless of listening position with unprecedented clarity.
Traditional/conventional speaker systems require precise room placement, without obstruction within their wave path. Whereas, our systems are designed to reproduce sound waves throughout the spatial listening environment in an omnipresent manner, even with obstructions, and with no adverse sonic affects, thus making them most desirable.
With room placement no longer being a problem: the design orientation within the systems’ configuration for Omnipresent Sound reproduction is unprecedented and nothing short of astonishing. Providing coherent, omnipresent sound and a nearly flat resonance across the 20~ 20000 ranges at +or- 2.5dB. Its' design combines a unique patented head assembly orientation of two and three way speaker elements within the systems configuration.
All of NSR Omni Sound products are capable of reproducing the full audio spectrum in an omnipresent manner throughout the spatial listening environment; all units are RoHS Compliant; handcrafted and made in the USA using only the finest quality components. Each unit undergoes a full and very comprehensive test to insure they meet our highest patented technology standards, and are beautifully finished in a high gloss luster.

New issued Patent
10”inch Spherical Loudspeaker for Omnipresent Sound Reproduction
Our newest Patent: US 8,068,618 B2
***********************************************************************************************************************************
Introducing NSR- Merkaballs 10”Spherical Loudspeakers.
The Merkaball is the first of its kind to combine a vacuum compression prorogation chamber incorporated with its spherical housing structure.
This sophisticated method of technology design allows the Merkaball Loudspeaker to reproduce the entire audio spectrum over the 20~20000Hz range flawlessly.
Merkaball’s capability to reproduce low frequencies down to 32Hz all within a remarkable 50 cubic inches of internal volume. However, not being limited to its size, allows the Merkaball loudspeakers to take the home audio industry, home theater and live performance music into a new realm forever.
All our patents cover special technology for omnipresent sound reproduction, and Omnidirectional sound reproduction. We guarantee that what you’ll experience, you will have never experienced before in sound reproduction. The Merkaball Loudspeaker is indeed a marvel of its own creation. A spherical loudspeaker that reproduces sound the way the human ear perceives it in time and space in an omnipresent manner throughout a spatial listening environment. For its size, it is nothing short of astonishing.
Advantages
Traditional/conventional speaker systems require precise room placement, without obstruction within their wave path. Whereas, Merkaball and all of our systems are designed to reproduce sound waves evenly throughout the spatial listening environment in an omnipresent manner. Even with obstructions there are no adverse affects, making them most desirable.
What Merkaball Loudspeakers have over traditional/conventional speaker systems is elimination of the need for critical room placement configurations. With Merkaball this is no longer a problem: the design orientation within the systems patented technology and configuration allows Merkaball to provide the listener excellent channel separation regardless of their listening position even with obstructions. Simply put, there are no adverse affects.
Fact: sound being reproduced in an Omnipresent manor is healthier and safer for your auditory system unlike conventional loudspeaker systems.
With Merkaball’s, what you hear is extraordinary sound clarity and realism with coherent, omnipresent sound being nearly flat across the 20~ 20000 Hz frequency range at +/- 2dB. Merkaball combines its unique head assembly within its innovative patented technical design housing configuration of its two way speaker elements within the systems configuration.
This results in the loudspeakers ability to reproduce the most important part of the audio spectrum (speech intelligibility), something at which most traditional/conventional speaker systems fall short. (Speech intelligibility is score based referred to as STI or Speech Transmission Index) Merkaball Loudspeakers have a rating of 9 over the vocal range of 125 Hz to 8000Hz.
What this means for the listener is they will hear and understand 99.999% of every thing that is said throughout the audio spectrum. We have provided below Merkaball’s complex data sheet with STI scoring to give you a better understanding why you want Merkaball Loudspeakers over traditional/conventional speaker systems.
