reSpeaker XMOS XVF3800 with XIAO ESP32S3 (Case Version)

Feature 1: XMOS XVF3800 Upgrade With Advanced AI Audio Processing

Smarter on-board AI acoustic algorithms for better sound quality. Features AEC, multi-beamforming, de-reverberation, DoA, dynamic noise suppression, 60dB AGC, delivering stable and reliable voice capture performance.

1. AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation)

AEC removes acoustic echo caused when sound played from a loudspeaker is picked up again by the microphone array. AEC is critical in full-duplex communication systems such as conferencing devices, voice assistants, and interactive systems. 

2. AGC (Automatic Gain Control)

AGC automatically adjusts the microphone array input level to maintain a stable and consistent audio output. AGC is essential where users may speak at varying distances and volumes. With real-time AGC, the reSpeaker XVF3800 ensures more stable downstream ASR performance.

3. NS (Noise Suppression)

Noise Suppression reduces unwanted background noise from captured audio. By identifying and attenuating non-speech components—such as fan noise, ambient chatter, keyboard typing, or environmental hum—NS enhances the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) in real time. NS is essential in voice-driven systems including smart home voice control, conferencing devices, voice assistants, and robotics. 

With far-field voice capture up to 5 meters and a circular 4-microphone array design supporting precise Direction of Arrival (DoA) detection, the reSpeaker XVF3800 delivers reliable voice capture and accurate sound source localization for interactive and voice-driven applications.

1. Far-field Voice Capture Up to 5m

(Watch the pickup range test from 12:20)

This enables clear command recognition and interaction in larger spaces without requiring users to stand close to the device, making the reSpeaker XVF3800 ideal for smart home control, robotics, and room-scale deployments.

2. Circular 4-Microphone Array Supports 360° DoA

The circular 4-microphone array enables accurate 360° Direction of Arrival (DoA) detection, allowing the reSpeaker XVF3800 to identify where a voice is coming from. This spatial awareness enhances interaction logic, supports speaker tracking, and provides a strong foundation for advanced beamforming and multi-user scenarios.

Build Physical AI Voice Agent with reSpeaker XVF3800 

Through SDK and platform compatibility, reSpeaker XVF3800 supports rapid integration with voice AI frameworks and cloud-based services, allowing devices to be quickly transformed into scalable voice agent solutions.

1. Running Agora TEN Framework on reSpeaker XVF3800

Use reSpeaker XVF3800 with XIAO ESP32S3 for audio capture and playback, and use Agora RTC to complete the real-time audio connection. The project provides a standardized configuration method (.env / property.json), supports one-click Docker deployment, dynamic token authentication, and pluggable providers (ASR/LLM/TTS can be replaced as needed).

2. Running Agora Conversational AI on reSpeaker XVF3800

Use reSpeaker XVF3800 with XIAO ESP32S3 as an edge voice AI device to establish a stable, low-latency, bidirectional audio link via Agora RTC, and directly call Agora Conversational AI Agent API v2 on the device to complete the conversational loop of ASR → LLM → TTS: the microphone array captures audio and sends it uplink; the cloud AI generates spoken replies and sends them downlink; the device plays them back in real time—delivering a “phone-call-like” voice conversation experience.

3. On-Edge AI Voice Agent Using reSpeaker XVF3800 and Jetson AGX Orin

After the microphone array detects a custom wake word, reSpeaker captures a 5-second voice query and uses a local STT engine. A local Llama 3 model then processes the query, enhanced by a RAG architecture for accurate knowledge retrieval and reasoning. The final answer is generated through a local TTS engine. The solution supports deployment across multiple local environments, including NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi, x86 servers, and Linux / Windows systems.

4.  Build Xiaozhi AI Voice Assistant with reSpeaker XVF3800

Using reSpeaker XVF3800 to build a compact, cloud-connected Xiaozhi voice assistant powered by large language models. With professional far-field audio capture and robust noise suppression, it transforms lightweight edge hardware into a scalable Voice Assistant.
