xMEMS Announces General Availability of First Solid-State Fidelity, All-Silicon Microspeakers

Following the announcement of the world's first true MEMS microspeaker in July 2020, xMEMS Labs now announced general availability of three solutions for immediate integration into next-generation true wireless stereo (TWS) earphones, in-ear-monitors (IEMs), hearing aids, and other emerging personal audio designs. Offering the advantages of Solid-State Fidelity and DynamicVent technology, xMEMS is determined to change the market through vastly superior audio experiences and improved consumer listening comfort.

xMEMS and Bujeon Launch 2-Way Hybrid MEMS Driver Solution for Hi-Res TWS Earbuds

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 Announces World's First Solid-State MEMS DynamicVent, Enabling Active Ambient Control for Next-Generation TWS and Hearing Aids

Part of xMEMS Labs announcements at CES 2023, the innovative MEMS speaker company introduced Skyline, the world’s first discrete solid-state MEMS DynamicVent, a specific design with a valve that opens or closes by sensor fusion input from the earbud DSP and enables the benefits of both an open-fit (spatially aware) and closed-fit (occluded) earbud design. This enables smart TWS earbuds and hearing aids that create best-of-both-worlds user experiences in the same product.

CES 2022 Audio Highlights. 10 Companies We Want to See and Hear Again!

It was just like CES 2022 was a blink. We walked all over CES 2022, from hotel suites and halls - literally and virtually - to report on these great audio companies and technologies! Among our #CES2022 audio highlights we discuss presentations and demos from xMEMS Labs, Noveto, Exeger, Mayht, Tectonic, Resonado, Fraunhofer IIS, Silentium, GaN Systems, and Axign. Text and CES report originally published in The Audio Voice weekly newsletter.

xMEMS Announces Montara Pro MEMS Drivers with Integrated DynamicVent for Intelligent TWS Earbuds and Hearing Aids

xMEMS Announces Montara Pro MEMS Drivers with Integrated DynamicVent for Intelligent TWS Earbuds and Hearing Aids

xMEMS Labs introduced Montara Pro, a MEMS microspeaker with an integrated solution that opens or closes the vent by sensor fusion input from the system DSP. This approach enables smart TWS earbuds and hearing aids that create best-of-both-worlds user experiences, combining the benefits of closed-fit (occluded) and open-fit earbuds. xMEMS is providing first demonstrations of Montara Pro this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas at Venetian Suite 29-325.

xMEMS Samples Ultra-Small Full-Range Microspeaker

Back in January 2015, I gave a talk about MEMS loudspeakers, and I have regularly written about MEMS speaker progress. A half decade later, it seems we are finally now moving beyond the industry's joke that MEMS’ development progress can be measured in dog years: it takes 7 human years for each year of MEMS’ progress! The big news is xMEMS Labs, a company founded just in January 2018, has announced it is now in mass production of its Montara, a monolithic MEMS “µspeaker” with a slim 1mm profile, and announced Cowell, the world’s smallest monolithic MEMS µSpeaker, at just 1.15mm high and 3.2mm wide.

xMEMS Announces Cowell Microspeaker for TWS and Hearing Aid Applications

xMEMS Labs today introduced Cowell, the world’s smallest monolithic MEMS µspeaker, targeting the replacement of balanced armature drivers in true wireless earbuds and hearing aid designs. At just 22mm3, 56 milligrams, and with a 3.2mm diameter side-firing package, Cowell delivers an impressive 110dB SPL at 1kHz. Cowell is the first speaker to use xMEMS’ 2nd generation M2 speaker cell architecture offering improved SPL/mm2 enabling increased loudness in smaller form factors.
