Sycamore, a full-range, all-silicon near-field micro speaker from xMEMs, is 1/7th the size and 1/3rd the thickness of conventional dynamic drivers. Coming in at just 8.41×9×1.13 mm and weighing only 150 mg, this tiny MEMS speaker delivers full-range sound while enabling thinner, lighter designs for open wireless stereo (OWS) earbuds, smartwatches, AR/VR headsets, and other mobile electronics.
Unlike the company’s Cypress micro speaker, designed for occluded in-ear ANC earbuds, Sycamore targets open-air listening devices. Its solid-state design and IP58 rating ensure durability and sweat resistance for active users.
With a first-order low-frequency roll-off, Sycamore matches the mid-bass performance of legacy drivers while extending sub-bass by up to 11 dB. It also extends high-frequency performance by up to 15 dB above 5 kHz, making it a strong near-field micro speaker or high-frequency tweeter alternative for laptops, automotive applications, and portable Bluetooth speakers.
xMEMS plans to sample the Sycamore micro speaker in Q1 2025, with mass production set for October 2025.
