7.8 Launches Sound Systems for Wellness Spaces
Audio company co-founded with investor Novak Djokovic debuts speaker systems and a content library aimed at hospitality and spa environments.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in New Age
Audio technology company 7.8, launched in August 2026 by founders Davide Arcoleo and Chris Kelly, has introduced a range of sound systems and wellness content for hotels, spas and treatment rooms. Tennis champion Novak Djokovic is lead investor and brand ambassador for the company.
Why it matters
The launch reflects growing interest in sound as a tool for relaxation and recovery within hospitality and wellness settings. The platform lets operators deliver tailored audio programmes to guests, extending the use of sound beyond background music.
The company reports that users can reach deep relaxation in under 120 seconds, a figure presented in its own launch materials rather than independent testing. Lead investor Novak Djokovic holds 24 Grand Slam singles titles, though the extraction does not link that record to the product's development.

The launch extends isochronic-pattern sound therapy, a technique built on psychoacoustic research, from personal listening devices into commercial hotel and spa installations. It positions 7.8 alongside wellness-focused audio providers serving hospitality operators who want distinct guest experiences.
Guests at participating hotels, lounges and spas may encounter the Q-3 system and tailored audio programmes in shared and private wellness spaces. Individual treatment rooms and personal relaxation areas may use the Q-One near-field system.
The takeaway
Sound-based wellness tools are moving from personal devices into commercial spaces, so guests seeking relaxation may increasingly find structured audio programmes in hotels and spas. Readers interested in the approach can compare product claims against independent research before relying on them.
