Initially I thought its one of the older KEF Aprils fool jokes but it seems it isn't:
"We're super excited to announce the first public trial of our prototype Scent Speaker developed with KEF | Kent Engineering & Foundry.
KEF approached my about a year ago asking if there was anyway I could envision using their speakers in my work. Of course I said yes but not as you currently make them... I described how I wanted a speaker which could project scent. They very boldly took up the challenge.
The speaker uses a KEF driver to power a vortex cannon which pushes the scent out to the audience. We added smoke to make it more visual as the scent comes out in the form of a vortex ring. The wave signal sent to the speaker controls the speed and shape of the ring. The audience can only smell the scent when the ring hits them and it is gone by the time it passes them by.
This is the second prototype which we gave its first outing at Haroon Mirza's sold out contemporary opera Re_Creation at the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra alongside the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group.
A huge thank you to the team at KEF for all their amazing work. Alex West, David Bosch Jack Oclee-Brown and Mica Bellani."
