Audiorays builds each AR-384X by hand in Montreal: 384 LEDs behind an acrylic front, running a 24-band spectrum analyzer off its built-in mic or a 3.5mm line-in. Sixteen-plus modes cover spectrum, waveform, and pulse, and when the room goes quiet it settles into a clock. It’s $259, powered over USB-C, and you supply the adapter.
