Abstract

A condenser microphone in which a back electrode, disposed oppositely to the rear surface of a diaphragm, and a circuit assembling plate disposed oppositely to the rear surface of the back electrode, are held in a holder. Electronic circuit elements are attached to only one surface of the circuit assembling plate, and the other surface thereof is faced toward the rear surface of the back electrode with a predetermined distance provided therebetween. A back chamber, defined by a space between the back electrode and the circuit assembling plate, and enclosed by the holder improves the characteristics of microphone frequency response.

Claims1

Dependent claims

A condenser microphone, comprising:

a diaphragm to be vibrated in response to an input sound;
a back electrode, having at least one opening therethrough, disposed oppositely to said diaphragm;
a circuit assembling plate having one surface only to which a plurality of electronic circuit elements are attached;
and,
a holder for holding said back electrode and said circuit assembling plate in an orientation where that surface of said back electrode which is not faced toward said diaphragm, is faced toward that surface of said circuit assembling plate to which said electronic circuit elements are not attached, with a predetermined distance provided between said back electrode and said circuit assembling plate, said holder defining a back chamber in a space between said back electrode and said circuit assembling plate, said back chamber being closed except for said at least one opening in said back electrode.
