The press release on this one is full of superlatives, but somehow most of them seem justified. Schwartz Engineering & Design just announced its Laser-Accurate microphone technology, which promises to ...

Repeating golden placement of studio microphones between recording sessions can be a bit of an imprecise pain. The UK's Aston Microphones has come up with an industry first that could save precious ...

The quest for ever more realistic sound reproduction seems set to move to a whole new level. Traditional microphones convert sound to electrical signals by measuring the deflections that sound ...

David Schwartz, who laid the foundation for MP3 with his undergraduate and Ph.D. work in the 80s, has another big idea: a microphone that uses lasers and smoke to detect the minute variations in air ...

SensiBel has created a couple of evaluation kits for its tiny SBM100B laser-based microphones. Evaluation kit Aurora (right) has two microphones and is intended to be used for stereo recording ...

The inventor of the MP3 digital audio format has developed a laser microphone that eliminates mechanical interference. In a proof-of-concept device, the Rochester Institute of Technology's David ...

A team of academics has detailed this week novel research that converted a smart vacuum cleaner into a microphone capable of recording nearby conversations. Named LidarPhone, the technique works by ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have conducted the first demonstration of a faster and more accurate way to calibrate certain kinds of microphones. The ...

Technology touted as a major step in the technological evolution of the microphone was demonstrated at the 127th Audio Engineering Society Show in New York. Laser-Accurate technology from Schwartz ...

There are millions of IoT devices out there in the wild and though not conventional computers, they can be hacked by alternative methods. From firmware hacks to social engineering, there are tons of ...

Anyone who’s ever attended a Styx concert can tell you that lasers and smoke are both integral components to any musical act. But now compressed audio pioneer David Schwartz is squeezing the tech into ...

Researchers have conducted the first demonstration of a faster and more accurate way to calibrate certain kinds of microphones. The technique, which uses lasers to measure the velocity at which a ...
