New GORE® Acoustic Vent: An Advancement in Acoustic Performance
The new GORE Acoustic Vent ensures exceptional levels of acoustic performance and consistency. Furthermore it is optimized for use in any devices that require IPX8-level protection, contamination-resistance and provided in black color for darker colored devices.
NEW GORE ACOUSTIC VENT
An Advancement in Acoustic Performance
Ensuring exceptional levels of acoustic performance and consistency, the GORE Acoustic Vent GAW334 is built to protect your handsets and wearables against water ingress.
Designed to offer incredible performance, the product is an enhancement of Gore technology that is optimized for use in any device where IPX8-level protection is required.
- Improved acoustic consistency
Offering better acoustic consistency than GAW325, it offers average insertion loss of less than 2 dB at 1,000 Hz with vent ID size of 1.6 mm under typical MEMS microphone testing.
- Excellent waterproofness : IPX8
It can handle water immersion depths up to 2 meters for 1 hour thus contributing to the reliability of the device.
- Black color & contamination resistant
With the black-colored membrane, it enables non-contrast to your devices along with avoiding contamination due to its oleophobic property.
