Norwegian Startup Nomono Launches Spatial Audio API; Automates 3D Speaker Tracking

Nomono, a Norwegian startup, has launched Nomono Labs, an API that automates spatial audio processing, including 3D tracking of speakers. It is built as a five-module pipeline that takes a raw field recording through to a finished spatial master. The outputs named are the spatial master, a binaural mix and speaker-diarized tracks.

Alongside the API, the company released an MCP server. This lets any AI agent that supports MCP run the whole pipeline without a human calling the API at each step. An AI production assistant can submit a full recording shoot, request any combination of the five modules, and retrieve the finished result in a single agentic workflow.

For teams that already use AI agents for transcription, translation, metadata tagging and episode publishing, adding professional spatial audio processing requires only a configuration change, not a development project. Nomono presents this as a natural fit for AI-augmented audio production. The coverage reads the move more broadly: the company is positioning Nomono Labs as infrastructure for the agentic AI era, a layer that AI agents can call on for audio work.

On the company itself, Nomono AS was founded in 2019 as a spinoff from SINTEF Digital, part of Norway's SINTEF research organization, which is described as one of Europe's largest independent applied-research organizations. Its investors include Tvenge og Adolfsen, SINTEF Venture and Spintop Ventures. In October 2024 it announced a late seed round of about €5.4 million, roughly $6.36 million.

The launch matters because it turns spatial audio production, normally a manual specialist task, into a step that AI agents can run end to end. It also shows a Nordic startup aiming to supply tooling for automated media workflows.
