HEAD acoustics Introduces ViBRIDGE Holistic In-Ear Headset Testing Solution

As many audioXpress readers already learned from reading the article by Hans W. Gierlich on the Benefits of Using Structure-Borne Sound in Headset Signal Processing, HEAD acoustics created a complete test solution for in-ear and headset devices using bone-conduction sensors. There are good reasons for developers and manufacturers to explore the use of bone-conduction sensors and test them with the new ViBRIDGE solution.

Spotify Uses Audio Weaver in Audio Front-End Development for Car Thing

Spotify partnered with DSP Concepts to build and deploy the audio front-end (AFE) software for its limited release of Car Thing, a dedicated smart player for the car. Spotify did the development for Car Thing using TalkTo, DSP Concepts’ proprietary AFE that acts as a ‘microphone cleaner’ by combining advanced signal processing techniques to create clean audio signals so Car Thing can detect voice commands regardless of road noise and other in-cabin sound.

CUI Devices Adds Digital I2S Output Devices to MEMS Microphone Line

CUI Devices' Audio Group announced the addition of two new digital I2S output models to its comprehensive line of MEMS microphones. The bottom port CMM-3526D-261-I2S-TR and top port CMM-4030D-261-I2S-TR are housed in extremely compact, low profile packages measuring 3.50 x 2.65 x 0.98 mm and 4.00 x 3.00 x 1.25 mm, respectively. Thanks to their digital I2S interface, these MEMS microphones eliminate the need for a codec, allowing for the microphones to connect directly to digital signal processors and microcontrollers in an end application.
