USound - MEMS Speakers for a Superior Audio Experience
ABSTRACT
USound GmbH is a rapidly growing audio company offering high-performance silicon speakers and high-quality sound solutions based on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology. It is our vision to inspire music enthusiasts and acoustic professionals with crisp, natural sound for a fantastic hearing experience. When LED was introduced to the market, it revolutionized the industry, influencing both B2B and B2C businesses worldwide. It is safe to say that every consumer in the world now knows the term “LED” – even though they might not know what it stands for. MEMS micro speakers are on the brink of having the same impact on the acoustic devices market.
