We present a new scheme to enhance the quantum-limited bandwidth-sensitivity product of table-top position-sensitive interferometers. It is based on a recently proposed stable optomechanical PT-symmetric sensitivity enhancement technique. We extend this technique to tabletop-scaled systems by using the membrane-in-the-middle approach. We show that the sensitivity can be enhanced in a wide frequency range by using a silicon nitride membrane as the optomechanical component. We discuss the main experimental challenges, present the results of our experimental work on a proof-of-principle room-temperature demonstration of the effect and stability, and discuss the future upgrade of our setup for a fully quantum demonstration.
