XMEMS LAUNCHES MONTARA, WORLD’S FIRST MONOLITHIC TRUE MEMS SPEAKER

Today xMEMS Labs emerged from stealth mode to reinvent sound with the introduction of Montara, the world’s first monolithic true MEMS speaker, delivering high fidelity, full-bandwidth sound and low total harmonic distortion (THD) for sealed in-ear personal audio devices, including true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds.

Montara is also the world’s first IP-57 rated microspeaker, enabling water and dust-resistant earbuds. Consumers will benefit from enhanced audio fidelity with raised levels of clarity and detail for instruments and vocals, extremely low latency, waterproof earbuds, and longer listening times.

Montara eclipses early hybrid-MEMS speakers by implementing the entire speaker (actuator and diaphragm/membrane) in silicon, reducing package height and eliminating driver matching and calibration due to inherent variability in membrane assembly. The combination of Montara’s design innovation and monolithic capacitive piezo-MEMS manufacturing material results in precise actuation, quality sound, speaker-to-speaker uniformity and repeatability.

Montara Features:

  • Sound Quality
    • Full bandwidth (20Hz-20kHz) with flat frequency response at >110dB SPL
    • Ability to replace multiple balance armature drivers with a single chip
    • Better SPL/mm3
  • Consistency
    • Highly uniform and reliable semiconductor process
    • Eliminates driver matching and calibration
    • Consistent silicon membrane movement enables active compensation for low THD (< 0.5% (200Hz ~ 20KHz))
  • Low Latency
    • <0.1ms mechanical latency enables active noise cancelation (ANC) across wider frequency range
  • Robustness: monolithic piezoMEMS 10,000g mechanical shock resistance
  • Longer listen times
