SonicEdge Presents Integrated MEMS Speaker and Microphone Solution at CES 2025

To be unveiled at CES 2025 is a new example of a MEMS microspeaker company that now offers an integration with a MEMS microphone. SonicEdge, the startup that pioneered ultrasound MEMS drivers and has yet to enter the market, will present SonicTwin, an integrated speaker-microphone in a single package. Combining the company's patented modulated ultrasound technology that eliminates traditional mechanical vibrations, makes the integration with a microphone and sensors much easier with potential benefits also for ANC and lower-power in TWS earbuds and headphones.
