What is the experience of AR glasses with the ultimate performance?
Here is what the world’s best-selling XREAL AR glasses offers.
On September 6, XREAL released the Air 2 product series, which includes the XREAL Air 2 and XREAL Air 2 Pro. In terms of sound, XREAL has partnered with AAC to equip the XREAL Air 2 product series with the first integrated acoustic solutions of hardware and software in the AR industry: two AR-specific Super Linear Speakers, customized sound cavity design, near-field acoustic algorithm and professional tuning by the Golden Ear expert team. It helps XREAL Air 2 product series to offer an ultra-light and impressive experience by connecting the virtual world with reality through an immersive spatial sound field.
Ultimate performance to deliver a fully immersive auditory experience:
Advantage 1: AR-specific Super Linear Speaker to enable an ultra-light appearance and create a spatial sound field
The main highlight of the XREAL Air 2 product series is its lightweight industrial design. It tips the scales at just 72 g. Thanks to its excellent ergonomic design, the parts on both sides of the nose bridge and temples of the glasses are lighter. This entailed stacking speakers that are smaller and thinner in the glasses.
AAC’s proprietary Super Linear Speaker for AR devices weighs only 1.45 g, with tiny dimensions of 8 × 20 × 3 mm. It fully meets the extreme stacking space requirements of the XREAL Air 2 product series, further enables an ultra-light appearance, and greatly enhances the user’s wearing comfort and portability. Moreover, with AAC’s proprietary Super-Linear technology, the Super Linear Speaker for AR devices has a maximum amplitude of 0.5 mm and the resonance frequency (F0) is as low as 230 Hz. Even with its small size, it can still produce a loud and extensive sound field. In addition, the symmetrical dual-speakers help the XREAL Air 2 product series to create a 3D sound field, delivering a fully immersive auditory experience.
Advantage 2: Customized sound cavity to offer a private listening experience
Making calls is one of the common scenarios of AR devices. AAC provided a sound leakage suppression design for this AR-specific Super Linear Speaker. It uses phase cancellation technology to ensure that audio only travels near the ear through the mutual cancellation of sound waves. Compared with the speakers of mainstream AR products on the market, the XREAL Air 2 product series features an increase of nearly 10 dB in the isolation of middle and low frequencies. It effectively suppresses sound spillover and improves listening privacy.
Furthermore, AAC’s customized sound cavity can also improve the sound performance, producing stronger lows and clearer highs. When the users answer the phone, the customized sound cavity can not only prevent sound leakage, but it also lets users hear the call clearly without the disturbance of surrounding noise.
Advantage 3: Debut with a near-field acoustic algorithm to deliver a vivid and pleasant auditory experience
The XREAL Air 2 product series debuts with AAC’s near-field acoustic algorithm. It enables richer bass, clearer midrange vocals and trebles that are loud and crisp. For instance, when listening to music, the algorithm gives drums a greater sense of depth. Especially in audio-visual games that combine virtuality and reality, it clearly restores every roar, every word and even subtle footsteps, delivering unimaginable and genuine sound experiences to users.
The AAC near-field acoustic algorithm used by the Air 2 product series performs as follows:
- Frequency response correction with an equalizer: Optimize the frequency response to improve tonal balance and sound fidelity
- Dynamic Range Control: Improve sound dynamics, retain original sound characteristics, and enhance the impact of sound
- Limiter protection: Control signal amplitude to prevent high-frequency distortion
- Transient Distortion Correction: Enhance sound dynamics to improve fidelity
- Virtual Bass enhancement: Enhance low frequencies based on psychoacoustic model
Advantage 4: Professional tuning by the Golden Ear expert team for accurate and detailed sound
For a variety of usage scenarios and content ecosystems, AAC’s Golden Ear experts have finely tuned the XREAL Air 2 product series for 6 months. For instance, the tuning combined with the near-field acoustic algorithm enables the ideal audio output balance in different frequency ranges. Therefore, every melody and every scale are perfectly reproduced, and users can enjoy a realistic and balanced high-quality sound experience.
Thanks to AAC’s acoustic hardware, structural design, algorithm optimization and professional tuning, the XREAL Air 2 product series has greatly improved its sound performance compared with its predecessor. It produces deep and resonant lows, gentle and full midrange vocals based on a better balance of intermediate frequencies, and loud and clear highs, delivering a louder immersive spatial sound field with balanced timbres and distinct layers.
