True studio-quality
We develop the next generation MEMS microphone. The vast majority of microphones used today are based on the same basic principle as invented more than a 100 years ago. sensiBel is breaking with this principle and introduces optical technology to the microphone.
Say hello to true studio-quality and small size.

The best of two worlds in one package
Application designers are typically faced with the choice of using a MEMS microphone with sub-optimal performance or a higher performance Electret Condenser Microphone (ECMs). ECMs are large in size and inherently not suitable for high-volume production.
The choice for emerging and demanding applications is now made easy with the true studio-quality optical MEMS microphone that offers the best of two worlds.

The optical technology
sensiBel’s patented optical MEMS technology that makes the microphone so sensitive is based on a combination of two optical phenomena; interference and diffraction, both of which are due to the wave character of light. The microphone uses a tiny energy-efficient laser to measure extremely accurately the displacement of a silicon-based membrane, thanks to the integrated photodetector readout system.
