Knowles Corporation Announces Mil-PRF-55681-Qualified Capacitors for Mission-Critical Defense Applications Knowles Corporation announced they will manufacture and test MIL-PRF-55681 capacitors in the United States. Developed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), MIL-PRF- 55681 is a critical military specification that sets strict standards for designing and developing ceramic capacitors used in defense and aerospace projects. To achieve qualification under MIL-PRF-55682, a supplier must adhere to rigorous testing protocols and demonstrate compliance with precise technical requirements. This testing involves the extensive evaluation of factors like temperature stability, reliability under mechanical stress and shock, and adherence to tight tolerance levels. Knowles' ceramic capacitors will also be listed on the U.S. Department of Defense's Qualified Products List (QPL). Components selected for this list have undergone comprehensive testing and evaluation to validate their suitability for government projects, thereby improving their availability to customers while also shortening the procurement process and reducing the need for quality audits and testing. Knowles' capacitors have demonstrated the robustness needed to perform consistently under environmentally demanding conditions, where minimizing failure risks is of the utmost importance. In addition to the custom, high-reliability capacitors Knowles is trusted and renowned for, designers using a range of MIL (CDR) styles can now rely on Knowles to provide the standard military qualified capacitors they need for guidance and control systems, radar systems, electronic warfare, power supply units, and other high-risk applications.

Knowles Corporation Extends Operating Life of Electronic Devices with New Arc Suppressor/Snubber Network Devices Knowles Corporation announced the QAS Series, a new line of RC-type Arc Suppressor/Snubber components that extend the operating life of electronic and electro-mechanical devices. Knowles' Cornell Dubilier brand QAS Series devices provide single-device RC networks in two-lead radial packages. QAS networks extend the operating life of electronic & electro-mechanical devices by reducing and/or eliminating electrical arcing at the point of electrical contact. Without a snubber circuit, arcing often leads to early failures in relays, switch contacts, and solid-state components such as SCRs and TRIACs. When the contacts in an arc suppression circuit open, a voltage is applied across the capacitor instead of the relay contacts. This prevents arcing because the capacitor charges faster than the contacts open. When the contacts close, the inrush current from the charged capacitor and source can exceed the safe conductance of the contacts. The resistor in the network limits the inrush current significantly, reducing the arc produced at contact closure, and extends the service life of the contacts. In practical applications, for DC voltage, theRC network is typically connected across the relay contacts, and for AC voltage, it is connected across the load. The QAS is also effective at reducing spark-generated EMI/RFI that can cause interference with the operation of a circuit. Each device consists of metallized polyester capacitor RC network, coated with a flame-retardant epoxy. Having a single device containing an RC network has advantages for circuit designers rather than building discrete networks. The single device is more compact, pretested, and environmentally more robust. The QAS product line includes 24 devices with: Capacitance values of up to 1.0uF; Resistor values up to 680 ohms, Rated voltage options up to 1600 Vdc/660 Vac, 60 Hz; Operating temperature range -55 degC to +85 degC at full rated voltage.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 42% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 42% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$4.2m net loss next year). Reported Earnings • Aug 01

Knowles Corporation Join Forces with Edifier in the Creation of the Neobuds Pro 2 True Wireless Stereo Knowles Corporation has joined forces with consumer audio brand Edifier in the creation of the NeoBuds Pro 2 True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbud design raises the bar for premium wireless audio with the help of Knowles RAN balanced armature (BA) receivers and SiSonic™ MEMS microphone technology. The Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 streams music over Bluetooth at ultra-high frequencies, up to 192kHz/24bit, using the latest LHDC 5.0 HD codec. Digital signal processing (DSP) with active crossover controls each driver, enabling them to produce frequencies with high precision. NeoBuds Pro 2 is the first to incorporate Edifier's Wide-Band Multi-Channel Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), employing wideband artificial intelligence (AI) noise reduction algorithms and configuring four microphones per earpiece. The ANC design adds an independent feed-forward channel that applies the noise reduction ability of the Knowles BA to hybrid ANC channels. The design also features Knowles' latest Analog MEMS microphone Raptor (SPK01A0LR5H-1), which offers 72dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and a low-frequency roll-off (LFRO) of 17 Hz for superior ANC performance and improved voice call quality. Working with the AI algorithm that filters ambient noise, the Wide-Band Multi-Channel ANC supports noise cancellation with a depth of -50dB and 5kHz bandwidth, as well as high-fidelity transparency mode, low-latency gaming mode, and multi-dimensional spatial audio and head tracking to immerse listeners in a 360-degree sonic realm. The Knowles Preferred Listening Response Curve demonstrates that listeners across age ranges and hearing capabilities prefer expanded treble ranges. To meet listener preferences across markets, personalized hearing capabilities for TWS are crucial. crucial. Acknowledging the significance of customized audio experiences, especially in the TWS market, the earbuds introduce advanced sound personalization features with Edifier’s AI Multimodal Dual Adaptive System. The intuitive mobile app allows users to analyze their listening preferences and optimize a customized auditory journey. Tillkännagivande • Oct 14

Knowles Debuts Trio of Sisonic Mems Microphones for High-Performance Ear & Wearable Solutions Knowles Corporation introduced its latest series of SiSonic™ MEMS microphones: Titan (Digital), Falcon (Differential Analog), and Robin (Single Ended Analog). The new trio of microphones provides advanced performance capabilities for space constrained Ear and wearable applications like True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds, smart watches, Augmented Reality (AR) glasses and Virtual Reality (VR) headsets. Knowles SiSonic™ MEMS Microphones for high-performance Ear and Wearable Solutions (Graphic: Business Wire) Each of the new SiSonic microphones is helping raise the standard of audio for today’s on-the-go lifestyle. Robin offers 66dB SNR and clean signals up to 130dB SPL with less than 1 percent distortion. The low distortion in loud environments enables high-fidelity sound capture and superior beamforming performance for the smallest of form factors. A similar level of signal clarity holds true for Falcon, and brings even higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance of 68.5dB further improving TWS applications like Ambient Awareness with less noise. In critical low frequency and speech band use cases, Falcon delivers 69dB. Likewise, Titan offers similar SNR performance to Falcon, while improving battery life by consuming 60 percent lower current (470uA) than typical digital mics and lowering latency to 3us, making it ideal for Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and always-on applications in digital architectures.
