Abstract: There are provided a microphone stand having a connector supporting groove, and a microphone body supported by the microphone stand as a result of insertion of a connector case into the connector supporting groove. A resilient conductive cloth which comes into contact with the connector case is arranged in the connector supporting groove, with the connector case inserted in the connector supporting groove. The conductive cloth is preferably arranged in a ring shape along a lower bottom portion of the annularly formed connector supporting groove. This configuration mitigates rattling generated between the connector supporting groove and the connector case, thereby suppressing generation of a vibration noise due to microphone shaking.

Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a method for controlling acoustic output radiating through an adjustable wing of a seat headrest. The method includes receiving, from a sensor disposed in the seat headrest, an input signal indicative of a position of the adjustable wing. The position can be one of multiple positions within an angle range. The method also includes updating, based on the input signal, values for one or more control parameters associated with a transducer that generates the acoustic output radiating through the adjustable wing, and adjusting the transducer in accordance with the position of the adjustable wing using one or more control signals that are generated based on the updated values of the one or more control parameters.

Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed for attracting animals. A game call speaker system having a body portion, first speaker unit configured to rotate about a first axis, a second speaker unit configured to rotate about a second axis and a memory comprising one or more stored game calls is provided. Rotation of the first speaker unit may be independent of rotation of the second speaker unit. The first axis may be substantially parallel to the second axis. In some embodiments, the game call speaker system is configured to emit the stored game calls over a relatively wide angle (e.g., 360 degrees) relative to the body portion.
