NEW GORE ACOUSTIC VENT

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.

NEW GORE ACOUSTIC VENT
  • 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.
