Nomono makes high-end audio hardware and software for podcasters and broadcasters, centered on its Sound Capsule microphone array. The Sound Capsule is a four-pound package with four lavalier mics that capture spatial audio in a 360-degree formation. The hardware is in early stages with preorders opening in the fall, while the companion app — which backs up files and enhances voice quality — is currently in public beta. The product is priced at $3,000, which the article describes as likely cost prohibitive for many customers but targeted at the growing podcast market. Nomono positions the system as a way to replace complex studio setups and simplify workflows, according to co-founder and CEO Jonas Rinde. The company has secured outside funding, including a newly announced seed round at a reported valuation of $25 million. Nomono develops hardware and software to make it easier for professional podcasters, journalists and audio storytellers to create immersive spatial-audio experiences, leveraging technologies such as Dolby Atmos and Fraunhofer’s MPEG‑H. The company was spun out from SINTEF Digital in 2019 and is led by CEO Jonas Rinde. Nomono has employees based in Trondheim, Oslo, Sweden and New York. The startup intends to use the new seed funding to accelerate research, development and growth. Its product focus combines both hardware and software to target professional audio creators and immersive storytelling workflows.
