Problem
Traditional MEMS microphones often require a trade-off between size and performance, limiting their suitability for applications demanding both high audio quality and compact form factors. Electret Condenser Microphones (ECMs) offer better performance but are too large for high-volume production and emerging applications.
Solution
sensiBel has developed an optical MEMS microphone that delivers studio-quality audio in a small form factor. This microphone utilizes patented optical technology, combining interference and diffraction principles with a tiny, energy-efficient laser and integrated photodetector readout system to measure membrane displacement with extreme accuracy. The result is a microphone that captures crystal-clear recordings, even in high-noise environments, and offers a flexible platform for various applications without compromising on size or performance.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes application designers and manufacturers in industries requiring high-quality audio capture in compact devices, such as consumer electronics, hearables, and professional audio equipment.
