Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI): Dreams of Wireless Hearables

One of the leading names in NFMI is FreeLinc Technologies, a research and development company focused on the adoption of this technology as a new wireless standard in the Public Safety, Military, Healthcare, and Consumer markets. For its January 2017 issue, audioXpress invited Dr. Michael Abrams, Freelinc’s Chief Executive Officer, to share his valuable perspective about the role of NFMI in wireless audio applications.

audioXpress January 2017 is now available. This month, we review Kii Audio’s new Kii Three speakers, and report on the most interesting new products at The Rocky Mountain Audio Fest (RMAF) 2016. We explore Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI) wireless audio applications, and the new USB Audio Device Class 3.0 specification for USB Type-C. We discuss streaming DSD over the Internet, revisit the Helmholtz resonator, explain how to build a Low-Power, Class-A Power Amplifier, and interview Michael Carnes of Exponential Audio. There is a lot to read inside this issue!
