Scarab Evaluation Kit
The Scarab Evaluation kit evaluates Soundskrit microphones and their potential when combined with omnidirectional microphones using beamforming. This kit demonstrates how different polar patterns and algorithms can enhance directionality and reduce background noise.
Mantis Headset Kit
Our Mantis Headset kit evaluates the performance of Soundskrit microphones and software in a headset situation. We recommend combining an omnidirectional and dipole microphone to unlock several software features. Our microphones are perfect in traditional headsets and in boomless wireless headsets.
Beetle Board Kit
The Beetle Board kit is designed to demonstrate our Direction-of-Arrival (DOA) algorithm. It includes 3 orthogonal Soundkrit dipole microphones, an omnidirectional microphone, and a Windows GUI. The microphone signals are used to detect the direction of an incoming sound and automatically steer a cardioid beam in this direction. Additionally, a manual steering and an immersive stereo mode are included.
Dragonfly Kit
The Dragonfly kit is a tool to evaluate how very narrow beam patterns can be achieved using Soundskrit microphones. The Dragonfly board is a PCB with three SKM1600 modules, each with a dipole and an omnidirectional microphone. A linear beamforming algorithm is used to create a shotgun-like directional pattern to improve audio pickup for extended ranges.
