AXPONA 2026

Dev Avidon and Dan "Physics" Grochowski of Ex Machina Soundworks, joined by Al Clark of Danville Signal, presented a room demo at AXPONA 2026 based on their novel technology.

"The system you heard is the preview version of the Main Sequence System, a joint venture by Danville Signal and Ex Machina Soundworks," Clark wrote to me after AXPONA.

"Although we do sell the electronics pieces of the system individually and Ex Machina has a Pro Audio studio monitor version, the Main Sequence System is not meant to exist as a collection of separate components," Clark clarified. "The Main Sequence System is sold as a complete integrated ecosystem: loudspeakers, eight channels of amplifiers, DSP processor and control center, customized cables, and individually calibrated tuned equalization and impulse response correction. System price: $50,000."

Though my small DJI Mini Mics are not the last word in capturing audio, the Main Sequence System's vanishing noise floor, zero ringing, ultra-fast transients, and overall sense of purity were impressively evident. And, as Clark stated, when I moved close to the system, there was no loss of soundstage, depth, or music detail.
