How Node Audio Reimagined the Loudspeaker with the 3D-Printed Hylixa

In this episode, SoundStage! visits Node Audio in Cambridge, England, where founders David Evans and Ashley May explain how their backgrounds in industrial design led them to create the Hylixa—a radically different loudspeaker that challenges decades of conventional speaker design. Discover why Node turned to industrial 3D printing, how its patented helical transmission-line cabinet works, and why every curve, internal channel, and hidden detail was engineered for better sound. Evans and May also discuss the thinking behind the Hylixa's distinctive appearance, its point-source approach, and how additive manufacturing made designs possible that simply couldn't be achieved with traditional enclosure materials. #audiophile #hifi #stereo
