Abstract

The present invention is a microphone that incorporates a system of removable covers that can change the acoustic characteristics of the microphone, provide enhanced environmental protection for the microphone, and add additional features through electronic sensors and other means. The invention consists of one or more microphone capsules mounted inside of an enclosure, which has a physical fastening system such as flanges, screw threads, or other means. This fastening system mates with a variety of microphone covers that can change the characteristics of the microphone. These covers may act as wind screens, acoustic baffles, phase cancellation guides, water and dust seals, impact bumpers, and may also add additional functionality through the incorporation of electronic sensors
