USound and OBO Pro2 Release Greip Dual-Input Microspeaker Module

USound, the MEMS microspeaker pioneer announced a strategic cooperation with OBO Pro2 to manufacture a new audio module that exceeds the requirements for high-resolution in-ear monitors (IEMs) and true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds, including ANC-based designs. Incorporating OBO Pro2's cutting-edge Silicon Rubber technology and a USound MEMS driver, the new Greip dual-input speaker module enables superior audio performance and integration flexibility.

Fortemedia, a Taiwan based supplier of MEMS microphones to some of the world's leading smartphone and laptop manufacturers, has now announced the launch of its latest innovation, a coil-based MEMS speaker range. Its first product is the ForteSound FS01, which the company says extends the audio frequency response to 80kHz, with extended SPL Response and Low THD, delivering a new type of high-reliability, low-power audio transducer.

Creative Technology announced the release of its latest Creative Aurvana Ace and Creative Aurvana Ace 2 true wireless earbuds featuring solid-state MEMS-based drivers from xMEMS. The Creative Aurvana Ace series has been expertly tuned to deliver a wider frequency response ranging from 5Hz to 40KHz for high resolution audio sources, benefiting from the unique characteristics of MEMS drivers. The new Bluetooth 5.3 earbuds also feature LE Audio with LC3 codec, and Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).

xMEMS Labs and Bujeon Electronics have partnered to create a family of 2-way speaker modules to accelerate design of next generation high-resolution and lossless audio-capable TWS earbuds. The solution integrates a high-performance 9mm dynamic driver custom-designed by Bujeon with an xMEMS' Cowell tweeter, the world’s smallest monolithic MEMS microspeaker at just 22mm. The reference design combines an xMEMS Aptos MEMS speaker amplifier to create a "drop-in" solution compatible with today’s leading TWS system-on-chips.

xMEMS Labs introduced Montara Plus, its 2nd generation high-res full-range (20Hz to 40KHz) monolithic MEMS micro speaker. At just 64mm3, Montara Plus delivers 120dB SPL at 1kHz. Matching the new Montara Plus, targeting the high end market, xMEMS announced a partnership with iFi Audio and Singularity Audio, which will be launch partners for DAC/amp and IEMs respectively.
