La société Murata a annoncé aujourd'hui qu'elle a amélioré les caractéristiques audio de son haut-parleur ultra mince piézoélectrique. Mesurant à peine 0,5 mm d'épaisseur, la série VSLBP2115E1100 est d’après Murata le plus haut parleur piézoélectrique au monde. En optimisant la structure interne et l'utilisation de matériaux nouveaux, il a été possible de réduire la distorsion et d’augmenter le niveau de pression acoustique ...

Murata has announced it has enhanced the audio characteristics of its ultra thin piezoelectric speaker. Measuring just 0.5 mm in thickness, the VSLBP2115E1100 series is believed to be the world’s smallest piezoelectric speaker. By optimizing the product’s structure and the use of new materials it has been possible to reduce distortion and increase sound pressure level without any change in the speaker’s size. Distortion has been reduced by ...
