Conamara series MEMS speakers

USound’s MEMS speakers from the Conamara Series are versatile microspeakers engineered for modern miniaturized audio devices such as True Wireless Earbuds (TWS), In-Ear-Monitors (IEMs), OTC-Hearing aids, and ultrasonic applications such as in-ear-bio sensing, distance sensing and 3D positioning.

Conamara MEMS speakers are available as full-range speakers and tweeters, designed to meet the demand for high-performance two-way audio systems or single-driver solutions, delivering exceptional sound quality and fulfilling Hi-Res audio demands while keeping an ultra-thin form factor. USound’s microspeakers are the only class 1 MEMS drivers operating without DC bias.

Ultra-slim

Conamara MEMS speakers feature an ultra-slim, round form factor, offering maximum integration flexibility and space efficiency for limitless design possibilities.

Reflow soldering compatibility

Conamara MEMS speakers withstand reflow soldering, enabling automated SMT pick-and-place assembly, streamlining production, consistent quality, and significantly lowering assembly costs.

Hi-Res audio

Exceeding market expectations, Conamara MEMS speakers deliver exceptional audio performance, meeting Hi-Res audio standards with a wide bandwidth of up to 40 kHz and higher.

IPX8 certified

Conamara MEMS speakers meet IPx8 requirements, offering waterproof capabilities and simplifying the design of water-resistant audio products while unlocking new application possibilities.

Ultrasonic performance

USound’s Conamara MEMS speakers deliver a flat response of up to 80 kHz and omnidirectionality, enabling wideband ultrasonic applications and expanding possibilities in signal modulation for consumer electronics and industrial devices.

No DC Bias

USound MEMS speakers deliver high sound pressure levels and quality without needing a DC bias. This simplifies the driving circuit, reduces component count, saves costs, and frees up to 20% of board space.

The thinnest high-performing microspeaker on the market

Save space with the thinnest microspeaker. USound MEMS speakers from the Conamara series outperform ED and BA speakers with higher SPL at a smaller volume, weight, and thickness. Unlike voice coil speakers, Conamara is IPx8 water-resistant, reducing the complexity of manufacturing waterproof products. Additionally, it is SMT reflow compatible, enabling fully automatic assembly of audio products to achieve the highest quality and performance.

Best-in-class ratio between acoustic performance and thickness

USound’s cutting-edge MEMS speakers’ technology fulfills Hi-Res bandwidth requirements by reaching 40 kHz and beyond. This technical innovation makes Conamara MEMS speakers the ideal loudspeakers for high-performing consumer electronics products, where superb audio accuracy and Hi-Res audio are desired.

Engineered for innovative 2-way True Wireless Earbuds

USound’s Conamara MEMS speakers are the thinnest microspeakers on the market. This enables miniaturization and modularization, saving space for other sensors and components, enhancing any TWS design with add-on features, and allowing maximum flexibility for bolder designs.

Ultrasound for proximity sensing

Conamara MEMS speakers as wideband transducers enable a range of ultrasonic applications, especially where space constraints are critical. Their ultra-thin form factor makes them ideal for compact devices, while their omnidirectional capability ensures accurate ultrasound distance sensing for range finding, user detection, obstacle avoidance, and more, enhancing the functionality of numerous products.
