This week Mike Klasco shares some of the technologies and products that caught his attention while visiting Sensors Converge 2026. Not necessarily the latest but mainly those of interest for audio designs in any category, particularly the emerging concepts and product classes.
Mike Klasco’s report looks beyond sound capture to the practical foundations of always-on connected products: advanced IMUs for head tracking and bone conduction, ultrasonic sensing, industrial-grade vibration monitoring, and long-life battery technology capable of supporting remote devices for years. Written with an informed, first-person perspective.
It’s all in this week’s The Audio Voice newsletter! https://x4gwm.mjt.lu/nl3/Bw65WvTXu47wXD7fGEOLHQ
