MEMS Microphones in the Wild?
Why Edifier’s ES20 & ES60 Nail Real- World Audio
At Edifier South Africa, we believe great sound isn’t just about what you hear—it’s also about how clearly you’re heard.
That’s why our ES20 and ES60 portable speakers are designed not only to deliver premium audio output but also to ensure crystal-clear voice
pickup with advanced MEMS microphone technology.
🧠 Smart Sound, Smart Technology
Both the ES20 and ES60 feature MEMS microphones—tiny silicon-based sensors that are a major leap forward from traditional condenser microphones. Paired with intelligent noise cancellation, these microphones don’t just capture sound, they analyse it. They recognise the difference between your voice and background noise, filtering out distractions so your calls sound as natural as possible. It’s like carrying a personal sound engineer wherever you go.
🌦️ Built for Real Life
Life isn’t always quiet, clean, or dry—and your speaker shouldn’t struggle in those conditions. The ES60 is IP66-rated, making it both dustproof and waterproof. Combined with MEMS technology, it’s a speaker built to perform in:
-Rainy hikes or humid beach days
-Dusty campsites or dry indoor heating
-Sweaty workouts or even steamy kitchens
-Wherever you go, your audio stays sharp.
🔍 Inside the MEMS Microphone
So, how does a MEMS microphone work? Think of it like this:
Inside is a tiny diaphragm—like a miniature drum.
When you speak, sound waves make this diaphragm vibrate.
A nearby metal plate senses those movements by measuring changes in capacitance (how much electrical charge is stored).
A microchip inside the mic reads the vibrations, cleans the signal, and (in digital models) converts it into data your device can use.
The result? Your voice comes through clear and precise, no matter what’s happening around you.
And because MEMS microphones are sealed and highly resistant to moisture and vibration, they keep performing where traditional mics might fail.
🔄 Effortless Switching, Crystal Calls
Both the ES20 and ES60 support Bluetooth multipoint pairing, allowing you to switch between devices instantly. Taking calls on Zoom, then jumping back to your playlist on your phone? Seamless.
The ES60 goes a step further with USB-C audio streaming, letting you plug directly into your laptop for high-quality speakerphone performance—a rare feature in portable speakers.
🎤 The Unsung Hero of Great Audio
At Edifier, we know people often focus on drivers, battery life, and codec support. But in real-world use, the microphone is just as important. With MEMS technology, the ES20 and ES60 set a new standard for portable audio.
