Cover your ears and… listen!
Silent object that reveals hearing through touch,
Losonnante invites you to dive into several senses.
Without wearing any equipment, just put your elbows on the Losonnante audio terminal to hear sound!
Losonnante is a sound device that uses osteophony. The sound is not projected through the air, it travels along the elbows, arms, hands to ears.
5 years of research and 4 prototypes were necessary to develop Losonnante. The project was developed by the CNRS (French National Scientific Research Center) laboratories.
Losonnante offers listening that involves the whole body. In direct contact with the support, the listener enters into a game between the body, its listening position, the external environment and the internal sound universe in which he immerses himself.
In simplicity and astonishment, Losonnante becomes an object of intrigue: we become aware of a new way of perceiving, of hearing with our body. It is an innovation at the crossroads between the visual, tactile and auditory senses.
Cover your ears and listen!
A discreet object that reveals hearing through touch, Losonnante invites you to dive into several senses. Object of intrigue, you become aware of a new way of perceiving and hearing with your body.
Hear differently, hear something else
With Losonnante, the relationship to sounds is different. Standing or seated, the listener is immersed into a hearing experience and a different perception of vibrations.
Playful learning
Studies show that you learn much faster using bone conduction. This involved listening promotes attention, memory and concentration.
Perfect for noisy places
Bone conduction listening offers unparalleled sonic possibilities and depth in noisy places. Hands on your ears, you isolate yourself from the outside world.
A discreet sound bubble
Losonnante is a listening device that is discreet from those around it. It does not generate sound conflicts and can be installed in environments sensitive to noise.
Simplify access
The device offers a simple surface where you can put your elbows. There is no specific equipment. Depending on the position of the hands on the ears, the sound changes slightly allowing everyone to find the most suitable listening position.
Losonnante bone conduction sound terminals are robust and resistant with reduced maintenance costs. The device offers a simple surface where you can put your elbows. For the interior, we offer wooden surfaces that give a noble appearance to the touch. For the exterior we propose to use metal. Our devices are waterproof and resistant to external aggressions. The entire electrical system meets IP65 standards.
The tests carried out in museums have enabled us to identify the needs and concerns of the host venues. Losonnante is a discreet device, functional and resistant to external aggressions.
Today there are spaces saturated with information, constant mobility, reduced attention spans. You have to relearn to listen to the world, to stop, to take your time. Losonnante proposes to value this approach. Thanks to the sound wave that propagates in the solids and in the body, it allows sensitive and involved listening in simplicity and astonishment.
CNRS laboraties called PACTE and CRESSON, invented this device, which takes a different approach than those based on screens and mobility.
