Abstract:
A narrow directional microphone includes a unit case having a front end portion to which a microphone unit is mounted, and a side surface functioning as a grip, an acoustic tube formed of resin material in a tubular shape, covering the microphone unit, and attached to the front end portion of the unit case such that the microphone unit is positioned to an inner bottom portion of the acoustic tube, a piezoelectric film that is arranged in at least one part of the acoustic tube, and that generates a detection output based on a mechanical deformation of the acoustic tube, and an output signal processing unit including an attenuation circuit that attenuates an audio signal from the microphone unit with the detection output from the piezoelectric film and sends the attenuated audio signal to a signal output unit.
