Seeed Studio ReSpeaker XVF3800 USB Microphone Array

The Seeed Studio ReSpeaker XVF3800 USB Microphone Array is a professional 4-microphone circular array based on the XMOS XVF3800 audio processor. It enables 360° far-field speech capture with a range of up to 5 meters. The array features advanced audio processing functions such as acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), multi-beam beamforming, reverberation suppression, direction of arrival (DoA) detection, DNN-based noise suppression, and automatic gain control (AGC) with a dynamic range of 60 dB. The board offers two operating modes: a USB plug-and-play mode for direct connection to PCs and an INT-Device mode (I2S) for integration into embedded systems. Twelve individually controllable WS2812-RGB LEDs provide visual feedback on device status and speech activity. A mute button allows immediate deactivation of microphone recording, with a red LED indicating the mute status. Audio outputs include a 3.5-mm headphone jack for headphones or active speakers and a JST connector for an amplified speaker with up to 5W. The integrated audio codec TLV320AIC3104 handles audio conversion, while an LM48511 Class-D amplifier drives the speaker output. The device is compatible with Windows, macOS, Raspberry Pi OS, and microcontroller hosts such as the XIAO series, ESP32, and Arduino via I2S and I2C. A unique device serial number enables identification and management in multi-device setups. Firmware can be updated via USB DFU, with various firmware options available for USB, I2S, and Home Assistant applications.
