Today’s consumers increasingly demand immersion-resistant handsets, wearables and other mobile electronic devices. Normally, reliable waterproofing involved a trade-off in audio quality. With GORE^® Acoustic Vents, robust protection and quality audio transmission happily coexist.

Today's portable electronic devices need to stand up to dust and splash hazards that go way beyond commonly used IP standards; which is why Gore testing goes way beyond them too. Our venting materials are tested and qualified to perform to industry standards, but also to additional protocols developed by our engineers that better reflect real-world conditions.

An advancement in acoustic performance

Ensuring exceptional levels of acoustic performance and consistency, the new GORE® Acoustic Vent is built to protect your handsets and wearables against water ingress.

The current methods used during circuit board assembly to protect MEMS microphones can cause performance degradation, significant yield losses and higher manufacturing costs. With GORE^® MEMS Protective Vent Style 100, industry-leading protection and acoustic performance can be seamlessly installed during circuit board assembly.

The current methods used by manufacturers to protect MEMS microphones can cause performance degradation, significant yield losses and higher manufacturing costs. With GORE^® MEMS Protective Vent Style 200, industry-leading protection and acoustic performance can be installed without any special handling during circuit board assembly.

Rapid environmental changes can lead to pressure differentials between inside and outside of an electronic device. GORE^® Pressure Vents provide superb reliability through exceptional balance of airflow and water protection.
