Water proof Mems membranes allow to leverage few of the main benefits, which also help in increasing device performance & reliability. A major advantage is that they can offer substantial protection from water and moisture. This is important to avoid vandalism of electronic component, especially for devices that usually have wet conditions and often submerged in water. It protects the devices from being damaged through rain, splashes or accidental immersion.

Another major benefit is that acoustic performance can be preserved. This makes sure that while they provide an effective barrier against water and dust, sound waves can pass through with little attenuation thereby not compromising the audio quality from devices like microphones and speakers. Striking a balance between protection and performance is especially important in applications where water resistance is equal to sound quality.
