High Fidelity

High Fidelity provides live spatial audio technology for apps and games. Its Spatial Audio Client Library (hifi-spatial-audio, MIT) lets developers embed realistic positional voice — 3D azimuth/distance transforms, nearfield "whisper" audio, noise reduction, and many simultaneous speakers over the Opus codec — into web and native applications, and previously connected them to a hosted Spatial Audio API server via signed connection JWTs. Apps including Clubhouse, Hubbub, Breakroom, and Soundstage used the technology. The hosted API service has since been discontinued; the SDK remains open source, and the company's active product is Quad, a spatial social platform that recreates physical meeting spaces. High Fidelity was founded by Philip Rosedale and is a portfolio company of GV.

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles High Fidelity the way a machine reads it — 3 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — High Fidelity scores 25.3/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 10/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile High Fidelity

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for High Fidelity. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 1

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
