Although I am no expert and beleive this is a good technology to go forward with, I feel that the building of these speakers is quite time consuming vs standard speakers. As you might be aware the price of a actual speakers rarely depend on the parts themselves, they cost about 1/5th (and sometimes lower) about what the speakers sells for. What is costy is building time which here seems quite long. My thoughts is that we might not be able to see resonably price speakers with MEMs although I see a real market for earbuds speakers. I am not aware of how much the parts cost vs conventional speakers but if its higher than that would also add to the cost. Because consumers want better speakers for the price they are paying many are buying DIY kits and it's understandable seeing how the market works. Everyone wants a share of profits. Maybe there's a market for MEMs here but it seems much more complicated to build that other kits. P.S. I would worry about speaker having so much screws on the back panel... but I might be wrong. Can you tell me what is the price range for someone who buys a DIT kit for a pair of these speakers. Thanks for sharing!
Dear Rejean, Thank you for your insightful comments. Firstly, we would like to clarify that there is no discernible difference in constructing a high-fidelity system using a combination of a woofer and a MEMS tweeter compared to a system utilizing a woofer and a traditional tweeter. Both setups entail the same number of components. While it's true that an array of MEMS tweeters may come with a higher price tag, it's worth noting that high-end traditional tweeters can also be quite costly. Concerning the assembly process, rest assured that we offer fully assembled kits for the MEMS tweeter array, eliminating any concerns about complexity. As for the cost of the DIY kit, it varies depending on the specific features you desire for your system. If you can provide us with a few key specifications, we would be happy to provide you with a quotation or an estimated price. I appreciate your interest in our products.
Hey there! The Harpalyke MEMS Loudspeaker Array is designed to be used as a tweeter in at least a 2-way loudspeaker system. The frequency range of the loudspeaker array alone starts at 2.8 kHz (-6 dB) and extends into the ultrasonic region (at least 80 kHz) due to using a Ganymede MEMS loudspeaker. You can contact us and we can ship it to you. Please fill out the contact form here: www.usound.com/contact/ You can find all the technical data about Harpalyke right at the bottom of this page: www.usound.com/technical-documentation/
We are glad to read that you are ready to experiment with MEMS speakers! You can purchase the DIY kit, including Horn, MEMS speaker array, and amplifier, directly from us. Follow this link and send us your information, and our sales team will get in touch with you. www.usound.com/product/proteus-uye2010-diy-kit/ If you want to experiment and create a completely new design, you can also purchase our MEMS speakers directly from Digi-key www.digikey.com/en/supplier-centers/usound

Where can I buy the MEMS module and from what frequency to what can it handle

is this a true "digital loudspeaker" [digital transducer array fed by unary code bitstream]?
I have all the ingredients except for MEMS speakers.

My hands always sweating when I work with small items
All that shit and we don't even get to hear how it sounds like??
Lame!
you'll have to hear for yourself - sound demonstration over youtube isn't really possible, is it?
