Channel: STMicroelectronics
Date: 2020-11-24

In the era of wearables and virtual assistants, audio is a key feature for upcoming consumer electronics products. MEMS speakers are the perfect fit for this market trend due to their thin form factor, lightweight, and competitive audio performance. USound has developed MEMS-based audio solutions optimized for free-field and in-ear applications. One of USound's reference designs is an audio module for glasses, combining MEMS speaker and woofer into a 2-way system and featuring a special dipole configuration for maximum sound directivity towards the ear canal and improved privacy. USound launched a new B2C product, Fauna audio glasses: a stylish product with great sound. In this presentation, we will describe the MEMS speaker technology and cover the process of audio wearable designs.
