xMEMS Designs Thinner Microspeaker Engineered for Smart Watches and Fitness Bands

Following the debut of the original Sycamore microspeaker in late 2024, xMEMS Labs is already working on expanding the technology to even thinner form factors with the Sycamore-W. This new full-range driver is an evolution of the company's Cypress "sound from ultrasound" MEMS platform introduced in 2023, and currently waiting for the results of safety reports on long-term ultrasound exposure for humans. xMEMS is confident in those reports and is doubling down with the even thinner, Sycamore-W.

New MEMS Microspeakers Company Getting Ready to Take Off

Myvox is the name of the latest Swedish venture to get into the emerging and highly promising MEMS microspeakers space. As a differentiator, Myvox draws on the team's experience developing what they call "pure MEMS microspeakers" to promise advancements in audio quality, more than just purely focusing on the economies of scale of a "speaker-in-a-chip". Very close to start sampling, Myvox promises superior sound performance on a better form factor.

Diamond Coatings for Speakers, IEMs, and Headphones

This article explores a fascinating topic that is recurrent in the loudspeaker industry: diamond coatings. As speaker designers look to refine their products' sound quality through diaphragm treatments, there are benefits to be explored from diamond coatings, or more specifically diamond-like-coatings (DLC), which is a process that matured over the last half-century. The industry has now reached a stage where this technology becomes available and viable, particularly for microspeakers.
