NEW YORK, NEW YORK: Soundwave Research Laboratories, Inc., makers of Crowley and Tripp ribbon microphones, announced at AES that they have filed multiple patent applications for U.S. and foreign coverage of its proprietary acoustic
technology used in its advanced products.
"Acoustic Transducer Arrangements" and "Composite Acoustic Transducers"
are the titles of two new applications made by the company for its patent-pending ribbon microphone technology and thin-film medical imaging sensors.
The patent filings, the contents of which will be published significantly
ahead of the statutory 18-month waiting period, cover a wide variety of
discoveries and inventions in the fields of ribbon and thin-film sound
devices. The technologies that were invented at Soundwave Research
Laboratories include carbon nanotube ribbon microphones, extremely high
strength ribbon processes, and significant improvements in the consistency,
purity and quality of the recorded signal. "We are committed to advancing
the state-of-the-art in microphone technology through our materials research
program, and through our work with musicians, producers and engineers who
have contributed greatly to the innovation process," remarked Soundwave's
President, Robert J. Crowley, a well-known inventor who currently holds over
one hundred U.S. and foreign patents and patent applications. "Now that
ribbon microphones have re-entered the mainstream, it is time to leave old
notions behind. Our recent filings reflect that we now have pending patents
in the U.S. as well as in Europe and Asia, in accordance with the Patent
Cooperation Treaty."
Crowley, who co-founded Soundwave Research Laboratories in 2004 with former
Boston Scientific engineer Hugh Tripp, manufacture Crowley and Tripp ribbon
microphones in their Ashland, MA USA laboratory, and conduct experiments to
uncover better ways to detect and record sound, and develop products that
incorporate their innovations. According to Soundwave Researcher Chris
Regan, who joined the company early on "We've created an inventive
environment that fosters new ideas, and we do research in multiple fields.
This innovative method extends to our customers, too. We work directly with
them on new products. It's a creative process, and this gets real results."
Crowley and Tripp ribbon microphones are hand-built in the company's
Ashland, Massachusetts USA laboratory by people who know the art and science
of acoustics, and who have years of experience with high output, low noise
instruments used in medical and professional audio applications. Models
include the Studio Vocalist, Soundstage Image, Proscenium and SPLx Custom.
