New audio releases use spatial audio, MEMS, and hybrid designs to improve immersion and sound quality.
by Joshua Tidwell, allaboutcircuits.com
Three recent products from Lenovo, Kiwi Ears, and MH Acoustics highlight different approaches to improving how sound is captured and reproduced, whether that means making headset audio feel more natural, combining multiple transducer technologies inside a single IEM, or improving recording quality in large microphone arrays.
Even though these products target very different applications, there is a common trend running through all three. Instead of relying only on larger drivers or better hardware specs, companies are combining software processing, MEMS technology, and more integrated system designs to improve overall audio performance. The result is hardware designed around the complete listening or recording experience rather than individual components.
