reSpeaker Flex XVF3800 - audio module with XMOS XVF3800 processor and microphone array + XIAO ESP32S3 - Seeed Studio 100070894

Description

reSpeaker Flex XVF3800 Circular-4 with XIAO ESP32S3 is an advanced microphone array module designed for applications in robotics, embedded systems, and interactive HMI devices. The device is based on the XMOS XVF3800 processor, which delivers high-quality real-time audio signal processing. Thanks to built-in AI algorithms such as noise suppression (NS), echo cancellation (AEC), and beamforming, the module significantly enhances captured audio quality. The split-design construction, separating the processing unit from the microphone array, allows flexible placement of components in robotic projects and space-constrained devices.

The version with XIAO ESP32S3 enables direct integration with MCU ecosystems such as Arduino and ESPHome, simplifying rapid deployment of voice-based projects. Support for USB and I2S modes ensures wide compatibility with computers, Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, and microcontrollers. The 4-microphone array enables precise sound capture within a 360° range, making it ideal for applications such as information kiosks or control panels.

The system offers a voice capture range of up to 5 meters, allowing convenient voice control in larger spaces without the need to be close to the device. Thanks to DoA (Direction of Arrival) technology, it is possible to determine the direction of the sound source, improving interaction precision in robotics and AI systems. The module is designed for professional applications, offering high resistance to interference and stable operation even in challenging acoustic environments. Built-in interfaces and DFU support enable easy firmware updates and device customization. The reSpeaker Flex XVF3800 Circular-4 is a comprehensive solution for projects requiring advanced voice recognition and processing.
