Abstract:
A first diaphragm FD and a second diaphragm RD are respectively arranged across a fixed electrode BP at both sides to constitute the variable directivity condenser microphone. A microphone body 1 includes a vacuum tube Q1 for impedance converting an audio signal obtained at the fixed electrode, and a connector 2 provided with a hot side connector terminal and a cold side connector terminal through which the audio signal that is impedance converted by the vacuum tube is outputted in parallel. A means for supplying a polarization voltage applied to the second diaphragm RD from an external power supply circuit 3 is arranged such that the hot side connector terminal and the cold side connector terminal are used as a forward conductor and a ground connector terminal for the microphone body arranged at the connector is used as a return conductor.
Abstract:
An audio output circuit of a condenser microphone includes a condenser microphone unit, first and second impedance conversion circuits that receive a positive phase output signal and a reverse phase output signal from the condenser microphone unit, first and second output circuits that output an audio signal from the condenser microphone unit in a balanced line to a balanced output terminals upon receipt of outputs of the first and second impedance conversion circuits. First and second impedance conversion circuits respectively use FETs as source follower circuits and supply first and second impedance conversion outputs generated across source resistors to the first and second output circuits. A voltage regulating device that generates a constant voltage is connected in series to the source resistors. With this configuration, an audio output circuit of a condenser microphone is provided, which solves a problem of operation instability caused by variation of Idss's of the FETs.
Abstract:
To provide an insulator, which supports a fixed pole in a unidirectional condenser microphone in a shareable manner among microphones that are different in the distance between acoustic terminals from one another. Coarse adjustment is performed on an insulator 31 including a plurality of sound holes 32 drilled therein by acoustically closing a predetermined sound hole 32 among the plurality of sound holes 32 by a predetermined sound hole closing means, and fine adjustment is performed by applying a predetermined amount of compressive force to an acoustic resistance member 40 by an acoustic resistance adjusting means 50 (adjustment nut 51), so as to adjust acoustic resistance present in a sound wave passage from a rear acoustic terminal to the back of a diaphragm.
Abstract:
A condenser microphone is provided that can ensure the fixation of an electroacoustic transducer inside a unit case and the grounding of the electroacoustic transducer, regardless of variations in manufacture of the unit case and a circuit board. A condenser microphone unit includes an electroacoustic transducer and a unit case accommodating the electroacoustic transducer. The unit case includes at least one protrusion that is disposed on the inner circumferential surface of the unit case. The electroacoustic transducer is fixed inside the unit case with the protrusion.
