Danish audio company AIAIAI has announced UNIT-4, the world’s first professional wireless studio monitors. Featuring ultra-low latency wireless audio paired with 20+ hours of battery playback time, UNIT-4 unlocks limitless possibilities for music creators.
With UNIT-4, what was previously confined to the traditional studio is now liberated in the hands of the creator, enabling them to break free from boundaries. Whether with friends, at home or on the road, UNIT-4 allows for freedom of movement and increased opportunity for collaboration.
“We are constantly exploring how to remove friction in the creative process. As making music becomes more dynamic and collaborative, we’ve created UNIT-4 to empower creators to continue pushing creative boundaries.” – Frederik Jørgensen, AIAIAI Founder
AIAIAI brings innovation in audio technology and acoustic design that packs professional studio monitor performance into a compact size of only 2.5kg. UNIT-4’s advanced wireless technology allows for wireless, uncompressed audio with only 16ms of latency. Three different modes of connection mean complete versatility in one speaker with Wireless+ ultra-low latency, Bluetooth and cabled options. Designed from the inside out without using glue, UNIT-4 allows for total disassembly and component replacement and is made from 100% recycled plastic.
“There just weren’t any good options available for music creators with a dynamic process. With UNIT-4, we’ve pushed the limits of compact speaker design to create a powerful reference studio monitor that is portable and completely wireless – for cable-free on the go music creation.” – Tom Fletcher, AIAIAI Product Manager
The introduction of UNIT-4 is AIAIAI’s latest step in expanding its family of products using the W+ Link technology, which began with the introduction of the TMA-2 Wireless+ headphones in December of 2021.
