Stereo finds widespread applications in audio media production owing to the growing demand for portable consumer electronics and listening systems like PA systems and sound boxes supporting impression and sonics of natural hearing. Form factor requirement of the new maker and DIY boards...

This is a complete microphone signal conditioning project. Designed primarily for voice-band applications, this project provides amplification, limiting, variable compression, and noise gate. User-adjustable compression ratio, noise gate threshold, and two different fixed gains optimize...

This is an easy to construct dual-stage microphone pre-amplifier. The project can be used as a sound sensor or microphone pre-amplifier. The 1st op-amp pre-amplify the very low-level signal coming from the condenser microphone and 2nd op-amp provides more boost to the audio signal. The...

TDK Corporation introduces three new MEMS microphones as part of the SmartSound™ family of products for mobile, IoT and other consumer devices. Each of these high-performance microphones push the boundaries of microphone acoustic performance, providing advanced feature sets with...

Virtual desktops are used extensively in the IT sector currently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This set-up allows the employees to work remotely and is convenient. Virtual desktops are preconfigured images of operating systems and applications in which the desktop environment is...

Vesper of Massachusetts is claiming high fidelity for a MEMs piezo microphone that picks up the vibration of the user’s voice through the skull. Inside are the mems, an amplifier, and a power regulator. Called VA1200, the company describes it as “the world’s first analogue...

Knowles IA611 SmartMic Voice Wake Audio Processor features an “always-on” Processor providing a Voice Wake and Voice ID keyword detector, a two-second buffer, and Knowles’ proven high performance acoustic SiSonic™ MEMS microphone technology in a single, miniature, top-port...

Detection through cameras and lidar could be efficient but it has some drawbacks. As it requires visibility of the object within its range, thus detection is difficult for invisible and hidden objects. Radar could be an ideal choice for overcoming these drawbacks but it struggles with...
