Waterproof Piezoelectric Speakers from Murata Feature Small Size and Advanced Design

Recently, Murata Electronics North America expanded waterproof piezoelectric speaker product line touting the world’s thinnest. With enhanced sound quality through a slightly wider package (22 mm x 16.5 mm), the new VSLBG2216E1100-T0 is based on the company’s earlier waterproof model. With only 0.9 mm in thickness, the speaker has very low profile proportions and unique watertight abilities while increasing performance. These characteristics make the speaker very suited for mobile electronics, particularly thin ones that may be exposed to wet environments or possible short-term submersion. Using the high torque piezoelectric motor, the thin speaker can effectively work with very small back cavity volumes (i.e. 20 cc) that prove to be very challenging for conventional speakers. The VSLBG2216E series also provide higher quality music playback because the sound output hole is no longer blocked. Piezo thin speakers do not use a magnet, so designers do not need to worry about iron sand absorption or electromagnetic noise. Further, the new speaker uses a lower primary resonant frequency than the previously introduced VSLBG1914E1400-T0, enhancing lower frequency response.
