"For a few years now, Berlin’s Superbooth show has been a focal point for music technology gear announcements, but the 2025 iteration took this to another level. The sheer volume and variety of new music making gear on display in and around the FEZ event space was beyond anything we’ve seen in previous years.

MusicRadar was on the ground to test everything we could get our hands on. As the show drew to a close Managing Editor Si Truss, Reviews Editor Simon Arblaster and Tech Channel Editor Matt Mullen found a quiet corner in the woods to sit down for a roundtable (sans table) discussion about their highlights from the 2025 Superbooth show floor."

video upload by sonicstate

"At NAMM 2025, we caught up with Alexandra from Eternal Research, who introduced the *Demon Box*, an intriguing device that amplifies electromagnetic fields (EMF). Alexandra explained that this invention, developed over a decade with the help of engineers, uncovers fascinating patterns and tones from EMFs, transforming interference into auditory experiences. The device utilizes an array of 33 inductors and features controls for levels and auxiliary inputs, allowing you to blend external signals with those picked up by the inductors. It supports integration with modular systems, exporting in control voltage, MIDI, note and CV data, as well as audio across three mono channels and a unique triphonic channel.

Alexandra also highlighted the device's organic nature, enabling exploration of novel sounds with each use. The Demon Box, currently available for pre-order, has generated significant interest following a successful Kickstarter campaign, with a target retail price of approximately $700."
