Abstract:
There is provided a boundary microphone inside which a unidirectional microphone unit is contained, the microphone including: a base plate; and a cover plate attached onto an upper face side thereof, wherein a thin and long tubular groove acting as an acoustic tube for making unidirectivity of the microphone unit a narrow directivity is formed on the base plate side, and therein, the microphone unit is contained. In order to prevent liquid from entering the tubular groove from the outside, between a peripheral edge part of the cover plate and the upper face of the base plate, a spacer that is composed of a water repellent thin film material and allows an inside of the tubular groove and outside air to communicate via acoustic resistance with a thin air layer is disposed so as to enclose an entire periphery of the tubular groove.
