More info

The UMA-8-SP is a high-performance USB microphone array paired with a digital audio amplifier. Seven high-performance MEMS microphones are configured in a circular arrangement to provide high-quality voice capture in farfield microphone applications such as AI assistants, conferencing, robotics…

Leveraging the onboard DSP processing from XMOS XVSM3000, the UMA-8-SP supports voice algorithms including beamforming, noise reduction, acoustic echo cancellation and de-reverb. The UMA-8-SP is a fully compliant UAC2 audio interface with driverless support for Mac/Linux and ASIO drivers for Windows. An onboard 2x15Wrms digital amplifier provides an all-in-one microphone array + amplifier integration. The perfect fit to build your own AI assistant or conferencing unit.

From DIYers to OEM, this pocket-size platform is engineered for flexibility in firmware, software and hardware. Feel free to contact miniDSP on how we can help kickstart your new project!

 Features

  • Multichannel USB microphone array for voice command powered by XMOS XVSM3000
  • Digital Audio Amplifier (2x15Wrms)
  • Onboard DSP for beamforming/ noise reduction / echo cancellation / de-reverb / Direction of Arrival (DOA) / Voice Activity Dectection (VAD)
  • Ring with 11 LED RGB
  • High quality MEMS from Knowles SPH1668LM4H
  • Flexible Firmware (DSP mode @2ch beamformed, RAW mode @8ch audio from MEMS)
  • Step by step app notes for Google SDK, Alexa-Pi, Cortana, Siri, IBM Watson, and Matlab. More coming up soon...
