xMEMS Sycamore Micro Speaker Promises Big Sound in Tiny Package

The new MEMS speaker aims to revolutionize audio in wearables and compact electronics with its ultra-thin design.

  • xMEMS Labs has introduced Sycamore, the world's first full-range near-field MEMS micro speaker, measuring just over 1mm thick.
  • The Sycamore speaker is designed for use in open-air listening devices like smartwatches, AR glasses, and open-fit earbuds.
  • With a size and weight reduction of up to 70% compared to traditional speakers, Sycamore allows for sleeker and lighter electronic designs.
  • The speaker uses a 'sound from ultrasound' technology to deliver enhanced audio performance, especially in bass and treble frequencies.
  • Sycamore is expected to begin testing in early 2025, with mass production anticipated to start by October 2025.
