Canadian architectural audio startup XSCACE, cofounded by Indian-origin entrepreneur Utkarsh Hora, is introducing ultra-slim 12mm speakers designed to integrate directly into modern interior architecture. Drawing on his family background in premium audio systems and repairs in India and Thailand, Hora developed the technology during his studies at the University of Toronto. The startup aims to address aesthetic conflicts created by bulky legacy speaker cabinets from brands like Bose, Marshall, and Bang & Olufsen. XSCACE's slim design delivers high-fidelity sound without occupying physical space or compromising interior aesthetics in modern homes and commercial spaces.
