Next Generation Radio

AiRadio is lossless, uncompressed HiFi streaming ready.
It unlocks the potential of upcoming high definition streaming services.
With built-in Amazon Alexa hands-free voice control - just ask your AiRadio for your favorite artist or song, or request a specific genre or mood. A beautiful Eco-friendly bamboo cabinet will take your listening experience to the next level. 

 

True HiFi Sound

AiRadio draws on the tradition of New England - the birthplace of American high-fidelity audio. Developed with Andover Audio of Boston, Voiz AiRadios unlock the potential of the excellent sound quality now possible with Wi-Fi streaming.  Tuning by Andover's acclaimed sound engineer, Bob Hazelwood, it delivers the same clean and accurate Hi-Fi reproduction that made the New England Sound legendary.

 

High Quality 

Sustainable bamboo cabinet features two 3” full-range drivers with oversized neodymium magnets. The digital signal processor with class-D digital amplifier creates a natural Hi-Fi sound for fatigue-free listening experiences.

 

Smart Multi-room Streaming Solution

The Voiz app gives you multi-room streaming at your fingertips. Continue listening to music or podcasts anywhere in your home.

 

Wide Soundstage 

The wide-soundstage feature makes you feel like you’re listening to separate speakers. It’s a room-enveloping experience that brings your favorite music to life.

Eco-Friendly and Tactile Comfort

The luxurious bamboo cabinet adds a warm and familiar feel to your listening experience.

Made to Compliment Your Decor

Unlike any other smart speakers, the natural and stylish look of the AiRadio fits your home’s interior. It will makes the AiRadio an integral part of your home’s design.

 

Vintage Retro Look

The aesthetics of AiRadio were inspired by vintage old-time radios. You know, the type your mom used to listen to. With its big central speaker set in a luxurious fabric, you’d think you’re back in the 50s! When you speak to Alexa the light illuminates, bringing you gently back into the 21st century!

 

Your Privacy is Safe

We understand your privacy concern. So we put the power switch in addition to the mic-mute button, which is very unique for Alexa built-in products. Pressing the power button shuts down the unit entirely, so no chance that anybody can listen to your conversations via Alexa. 

 

Go Vinyl

AiRadio lets you enjoy the warm, vintage sound of vinyl. Just connect your record player to AiRadio's AUX-in jack and get spinning!

About Voiz

My name is Hiro Ogura, the founder, and CEO of Voiz.

In 1985, I immigrated to the US landing in New York City with a dream and a few hundred dollars in my pocket. My dream was to produce a high-quality radio with my exceptional design ideas. 

Since I was a little boy,  I loved to build radios from scratch using different vessels from a local junkyard. That is where my vision began ...

I studied design and became a product designer, and created many products for notable brands such as Emerson Radio, Aurora Impex, Kaito, Datexx and Onkyo.  During this time I never gave up my dream of producing a great advanced radio with my knowledge of technologies and superior design. 

Thirty-four years later my dream is now coming true with AiRadio.

My passion for the best quality design and sound reproduction finally materialized with the advancement of artificial intelligence technology and the craftsmanship of bamboo cabinet making.

Later this month I look forward to delivering my dream radio to the consumer market. Please support us so we can continue to make great radios.

We need to raise $20,000 to cover our final developmental costs. I am committed to making Voiz a company that delivers value with superior quality products without compromise.

Bob Hazelwood, Director of Engineering

Bob is a 35-year audio industry veteran. At JBL he was Product and Marketing Manager for JBL Mobile Audio. After three successful years, Bob returned to a/d/s/ as VP of Product Management, where he was responsible for managing the engineering, marketing, and service departments. In 1999 he was invited to join Cambridge SoundWorks to manage the transition and expansion of the company’s product line upon Henry Kloss’ retirement. Bob is now a director of engineering at Andover Audio and designing technology for, and coordinating the development of a new generation of Voiz products.

AiRadio

Currently, there are two AI platforms available: Google home or Amazon Alexa, both require long approval periods, Amazon had a shorter approval process but already extended to eight weeks from six weeks, and it requires nine samples to submit, and Spotify is now asking for two samples for approval. It costs us time and money. Fortunately, we have a reliable and supportive factory, and they are working around the clock to go to mass production as soon as Amazon approved. Also, the smartphone app requires a minimum order quantity of 3 thousand a per model, which is an enormous financial challenge for the startup company like us. So it is crucial to selling as many as possible at the IndieGoGo campaign. 

 

Future Plan

We are planning to create our own AI platform which dedicates to serving for music and entertainment in the future, and your support is paramount for Voiz's future.

Quality Assurance

We have over 30 years of experience in developing the products and longtime relationship with the factories and vendors. Also, we have a partnership with New England's legendary Andover Audio for sound engineering and quality control. It will ensure the highest quality and on-time delivery. 

Please share our campaign to all your social media.
