NOVA32 is a plug-and-play hardware kit that aggregates 32 high-performance optical MEMS microphones from sensiBel and converts them to 32-channel, 24-bit USB audio. The USB interface is plug-and-play with AI development platforms including NVIDIA Jetson\u2122. It is fully compatible with Windows, MacOS and Linux systems.<\/p>\n \u201cNOVA32 is the acoustic-detection platform for which the industry has been waiting,\u201d said Kieran Harney, CEO, sensiBel. \u201cProviding a single stream of 32 synchronized MEMS microphones from sensiBel, NOVA32 lets product developers get up and running in record time \u2014 so they can focus on what they do best: creating edge AI firmware for their applications on commercial platforms such as NVDIA Jetson development kits.\u201d<\/p>\n Impact of microphone quality on acoustic detection<\/strong><\/p>\n There is a growing market for large microphone arrays used in acoustic cameras and in many different acoustic-scanning applications requiring high resolution. As microphones are the core components in acoustic-detection systems, their quality is critical.<\/p>\n The superior acoustic performance of sensiBel\u2019s optical MEMS microphones \u2014 which feature very low self-noise of just 14dBA equivalent input noise (EIN), dynamic range of 132dB dynamic range, 80dBA signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and 146dB acoustic overload point (AOP) \u2014 has a major impact on the performance of such acoustic-detection systems.<\/p>\n \u201cThe physics of the optical MEMS microphones in NOVA32 tells the story for us,\u201d said Tom Hazlett, vice president of sales and marketing, sensiBel. \u201csensiBel\u2019s microphones provide two-and-half times the microphone-array performance over even the best capacitive MEMS microphones.\u201d<\/p>\n NOVA32 outperforms competitive beamforming platforms to provide:<\/p>\n About sensiBel\u2019s NOVA32 <\/strong><\/p>\n Featuring a spiral array of 32 SBM100B<\/a> optical MEMS microphones, NOVA32 frees developers from the complexity of integrating other components, including field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Instead, NOVA32 synchronizes multi-channel data from 32 microphones into a single USB audio connection of 24-bit audio using the XMOS XCORE\u00ae<\/sup>.AI processor. The USB connects directly to a variety of development systems, saving significant hardware development time.<\/p>\n NOVA32 is now available from sensiBel.
