sensiBel’s Optical MEMS Microphone Boosts Audio Quality of mh acoustics’ Newest Ambisonics Microphone
sensiBel announced that mh acoustics has integrated sensiBel's optical MEMS microphone technology into the em64d Eigenmike, a professional multi-microphone array system designed for ambisonics audio capture. The optical MEMS microphones deliver studio-quality audio performance in the spherical microphone array, which captures three-dimensional sound fields for immersive audio applications. The em64d Eigenmike represents an advancement in spatial audio capture technology, utilizing multiple precisely-positioned microphones to record sound from all directions simultaneously. By incorporating sensiBel's optical MEMS technology instead of traditional electret or piezoelectric microphones, the system aims to achieve superior audio fidelity and consistency across all microphone elements in the array. Ambisonics microphone arrays like the Eigenmike are used in professional audio production, virtual reality content creation, and acoustic research applications where accurate spatial audio capture is critical. The integration of optical MEMS technology could provide improved signal-to-noise ratios and more uniform frequency response compared to conventional microphone technologies in multi-element arrays.
Why It Matters
This integration represents a significant technical advancement in professional spatial audio capture, as optical MEMS microphones offer potentially superior performance characteristics compared to traditional microphone technologies. For the growing VR/AR and immersive audio markets, improved ambisonics capture quality could enable more realistic spatial audio experiences, while the technology advancement demonstrates the maturation of optical MEMS sensors from laboratory concepts to commercial audio products.
