Messeiver Dark: short-range radio receiver with unique design

Soma Laboratory's Messeiver Dark is a radical and poetic device for exploring the radio ether, designed to restore the primordial experience of communication pioneers. Unlike traditional receivers, Messeiver does not isolate a single station, but simultaneously captures a wide swath of the shortwave spectrum, offering an ever-evolving mosaic of sound.

A sonic journey influenced by nature

The set of receivable stations, their intensity and timbre vary according to global natural parameters: solar activity, clouds, cosmic particles, atmospheric conditions and dozens of other factors. The whole world thus becomes a DJ mixing radio waves in real time, giving you a unique and unrepeatable listening experience.

Handcrafted design and vintage components

Vintage finishes and quality construction

Messeiver Dark is hand-built with great attention to detail: brass inserts, old-school wideband speaker, custom coil, NOS germanium diodes, and vintage neon bulb. An object that is at once instrument, sculpture and time machine.
