The science of sound development
The child who is born “knowing the
parents voices has a head start”
Dr. Shinichi Suzuki.
A fetus can hear clearly from 17 weeks
of pregnancy; listening together, you
and your baby stay in tune.
Babies remember and process sounds
heard prenatally and learn to link them
with emotions and moods.
You and your baby can enjoy sensory
and emotional benefits while relaxing
together.

We Take Safety Seriously! After all, at The Nuvo Group, we are all parents ourselves.
Our world-renowned engineers created RitmoTM’s Audio Controller, making RitmoTM the
only product on the market that utilizes advanced acoustic technology developed for
prenatal use.
Think of the RitmoTM Audio Controller as RitmoTM’s Pregnancy “brain”. When the Audio
Controller is in its “PRE”, or prenatal mode, it actually learns the patterns of the music
coming from your audio device and regulates the output of sound to a regulated level for a
baby to hear in-utero, regardless of how loud the sound was recorded and the volume that
it is played.
Research into fetal hearing development
and in-utero acoustics provides us with
an ideal range for an optimal sound level
for the fetus. The Safe & Sound range if
you can imagine is between 3-5 on a scale
from 0-10, with integers of 1. If you are
playing the music at any level above 3-5,
the Audio Controller will automatically
lower the music level, bringing the music
to the Safe & Sound range.
