Overview

USound is a fast-growing MEMS loudspeaker company that enables OEMs to build next-generation audio products including Bluetooth earphones, smartphones, VR/AR glasses, wearables, and over-the-counter hearing aids. Its speakers occupy 50 % less space, consume 80 % less energy, and offer a broader frequency range than rival solutions, giving device makers greater design flexibility and lower system costs through SMT-ready assembly. The technology, protected by more than 350 patents, is being integrated by major audio ODMs such as Luxshare-ICT and Concraft/OBO Pro2. Customers have begun adopting USound’s thin, lightweight, full-range speakers for upcoming true-wireless-stereo earbuds and hearing aids. The company is currently ramping high-volume production to meet that demand, supported by the newly raised growth capital. USound’s management team includes CEO Ferruccio Bottoni, CTO Andrea Rusconi-Clerici, and CFO Herbert Gartner. Headquartered in Graz, Austria, the firm positions its MEMS speakers as ushering in “a new age for the audio industry.” The article did not disclose revenue, user, or profit figures.
