We know that many music industries have developed audio system that place multiple speakers in a room to achieve perfection in sound movement and effects. However, these conventional speakers stay in place, they can’t be moved or installed elsewhere. Roland Drone Speakers are here to give you a solution. The engineers aim to create flying speakers that bathe the player in a sound shower through combination of Roland’s PureAcoustic Ambience and modern remote-control drones.

However, futuristic Roland Drone Speakers also come with many challenges. If you’ve ever been near a drone, you’ll notice that the sound can be deafening, imagine these four drones circling a piano, no one might not be able to hear the music played. The next challenge would be latency. Normal Bluetooth is 200ms, it is unusable for musical performance, therefore, Roland has to internally develop dedicated communication platform. Well, until a quiet drone technology becomes available, it seems that this futuristic concept would stay just as concept.
