The Core 5

The Mass Fidelity Inc.’s Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for the Core Wireless Speaker System and Core Wireless Sub has continued to gain momentum since this month’s campaign extension and has now become the top crowdfunded Canadian company ever. The campaign launched in early September when it shattered its $48,000 funding goal within 24 hours and currently six days left in the campaign (November 2nd).

Mass Fidelity 1At the time of the campaign extension in early October, the funding total had passed $675,000 and has since generated over $200,000 in additional funding. The Core is a beautiful, compact wireless speaker that combines “better than stereo” sound using Wave Field Synthesis with an impressive feature set including, portability, multi-room functionality and crystal-clear audio.

Co-founder and CEO of Mass Fidelity, Ben Webster stated, “When we saw everyone’s reactions after hearing the Core, ranging from industry veterans to music lovers, we knew we had something great on our hands, but we have been absolutely floored by the response and support of the Indiegogo community.

“Over the past few weeks, we’ve held multiple events for campaign backers and potential supporters who are excited to hear the product. The Core is fundamentally different than any other wireless audio product out there due to the amazing ‘acoustic hologram’ it creates, and our Indiegogo backers are the first in the world to be able to hear the future.”

The CoreAlong with the campaign extension, Mass Fidelity introduced the Core Wireless Sub as an additional product to the campaign. To date, nearly 600 backers have added the Core Wireless Sub to their campaign contributions on Indiegogo. Ben Webster and the team of audio engineers have been in the process of creating proof-of-concept samples and optimizing the design in order to create a product that produces the lowest bass in the smallest and most efficient cabinet.
