Knowles Corporation (NYSE: KN) is launching a new RAB Series receiver for the hearing health, premium audio, and communications industries. The receiver’s small dimensions and high efficiency make it ideal for a number of applications including miniature hearing aids, Bluetooth headsets, communications earpieces, and premium music earphones.

Knowles optimized the RAB Series receiver with a popular form factor that simplifies the implementation process for hearing health and premium audio customers. The RAB Series provides relatively low magnetic radiation performance, which eases the design of hearing aids and smart wearables using telecoils or other magnetically sensitive components.

The small size of the RAB Series receiver enables manufacturers to offer consumer devices that are more comfortable, more discrete, and deliver a more enjoyable listening experience. The low power consumption receiver helps preserve battery life and contributes to longer operating times between recharges.

“Knowles continues to pioneer acoustic solutions that advance the industry and deliver a quality experience for our customers and the end-user,” said Gordon Walker, Knowles’ Co-President of Specialty Components. “We’re committed to continuously improving our processes and product offerings to provide the most valuable and innovative technology on the market.”

Knowles balanced armature expertise and broad range of drivers allows for more advanced audio solutions. The engineers at Knowles continue to develop best-in-class products that increase the company’s competitive advantage and position in multiple markets.

“The RAB series’ size and audio output allow manufacturers greater versatility for product design and implementation.” said Brian Crannell, Senior Director of Marketing & Business Development, Specialty Components. “At Knowles, we leverage our expertise, rigorous testing and excellent customer relationships to deliver industry-leading solutions like the RAB Series receiver.”

The RAB is currently available in production quantities.
