Sound Generation by Active Modulation of Ultrasound
We present a cutting-edge method for sound generation using actively modulated ultrasound. This innovative approach is specifically designed for MEMS technology, resulting in a smaller speaker with superior audio capabilities. We will provide detailed explanations of the speaker’s physics, implementation, and potential applications.
SonicEdge
Our game-changing technology has revolutionized sound generation, allowing us to create the smallest speaker with the best sound on the market. Through a patented process, our speakers utilize an array of ultrasound technology, paired with acoustic modulators, to frequency shift the ultrasound and create high-quality sound. Our solid-state MEMS device is manufactured using industry-standard processes and includes a full stack solution, from digital audio to sound. Complete with an ASIC and MEMS speaker, SonicEdge is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of sound.”
