🙋♂️ Who am I?
👋 My name is Olivier DAUGA.
🛠️ I am what is called a "curious about everything", a passionate inventor who constantly dreams of facilitating, simplifying and improving daily life for everyone, and above all, a music lover.
🚀 I started my career in 1992 as a multiservice craftsman specialized in home comfort.
🧑🔧 Installing products invented and manufactured by others? It was not enough for me...
💡 I always saw how to improve, but I never had the opportunity to do it.
🌀 An idea that comes from far away...
🚀 In 2014, I started a new career far from sound. My job? Bringing thermal comfort to buildings, through the ceiling: radiant ceiling, insulation, air conditioning. A confidential specialty... but terribly effective.
💨 It was while working on the cooling of air-conditioned ceilings that I implemented the Coanda effect.
🌬️ When air slides along a ceiling, without falling on people...
🌡️ Or in my innovation, when the air remains "attached" to the reflective insulation placed a few centimeters above the ceiling, to homogenize temperatures.
🍃 A gentle diffusion, like a breath suspended above us. Invisible. Silent. Already there... I was touching on the idea of comfort that follows you everywhere, without forgotten zones.
⚡ One stormy evening… the click
🌩️ Then there was that evening. Standing on top of a hill. The sea below. The sky rumbling. A powerful storm. Lightning everywhere. The thunder, above my head.
🔊 This sound… it went through me. It made me vibrate. It came from everywhere. It surrounded me.
💡 And then, a question struck me: how to reproduce this immersive sensation?
🎵 When the ceiling becomes obvious
🎶 I thought back to my job. To the birdsong, the rain, the thunder… All these sounds come from above.
🌀 Why not do the same with sound?
🎧 What if we could unleash the sound?
In our Ceilingo showroom, I wanted to go further. I created a movie theater, a real-life sound laboratory.
I tested vibrating plaster panels, then a large panel suspended from the ceiling. On paper, it was promising…
But in reality, something was missing. The sound remained constrained, frozen, stuck on surfaces too rigid.
The result: flat waves, without relief, without that living immersion I was looking for.
So I went even further. I designed the first sound mirror, mounted on silent-blocks. A crazy idea, but terribly exciting.
The glass vibrated… It was good, but not quite enough.
I wanted more. I wanted that thrill, that sensation of being carried by the sound, wherever you are in the room.
That's when everything changed…
📞 The call that changed everything
☎️ One day, an installer calls me. A client, owner of a nightclub in Paris, is looking for a solution.
He wants a homogeneous sound, which respects the neighborhood. Not a classic solution. Something different. Something better.
⏳ I gave myself 15 days. 15 days to find. 15 days to understand.
💡 How to unleash the sound?
💡 How to amplify it without constraint?
🎻 The inspiration of acoustic instruments
💡 That's where I got the intuition: acoustic instruments.
🎹 The piano. 🎸 The guitar. 🎻 The violin.
All use a wooden soundboard, this vibrating surface that amplifies the strings and brings sound to life.
🌳 It will necessarily be based on some sort of soundboard, a vibrating wooden blade to offer a warm, lively, and naturally amplified sound.
🛠️ That's when I imagined a different sound system.
🌳 A speaker that would make a wooden blade vibrate, which would be free of any mechanical constraints, mounted on rubber dampers.
🌀 A blade capable of vibrating like a whip to naturally amplify the sound, to diffuse it 360°, to fill the space, without constraint.
🎉 A result beyond my expectations
🔊 The sound became lively, warm, immersive.
🌀 It was capable of filling a room, even bypassing obstacles.
🧘 It respected hearing and limited nuisances.
🚫 And, incredibly, it naturally eliminated feedback.
🌟 The Magic Speaker was born. The work of my life.
🚀 Why Magic Speaker changes everything
- 🎻 A 360° omnidirectional sound, like acoustic instruments for an immersive atmosphere.
- 🌊 A smooth and homogeneous diffusion, without dead zones so that the sound is heard by all.
- 🌀 A natural amplification of the vibrating blade, to waste less energy thanks to less powerful amplifiers.
- 🧘 A sound that protects hearing, never aggressive to preserve our health.
- 🔇 A reduction of noise pollution, even at high volume, to care for the neighborhood.
- 🚫 The natural suppression of feedback, without complex treatment to facilitate implementation.
- 🔊 An exceptional intelligibility, even at low volume to ensure good information transmission.
- 💓 A restored sound warmth: the blade attenuates the defects of compressed or Bluetooth sources and revives the signal.
- 🎨 Unique visual effects thanks to the vibrating blade and its lasers to ignite your evenings.
- ⚡ A simplified installation, with fewer speakers and cabling to save time.
