A capacitive microphone may include a housing, a membrane, and a first backplate, wherein a first insulating layer may be disposed on a first side of the first backplate facing the membrane and a second insulating layer may be disposed on a second side of the first backplate opposite to the first side of the first backplate. A further insulating layer may be disposed on a side wall of at least one of a plurality of perforation holes in the first backplate. Each conductive surface of the first backplate may be covered with insulating material.
