Abstract
A design for a transducer assembly which embodies two separate microphone elements attached to two separate goosenecks where both microphone/gooseneck assemblies are connected to a single service housing. The goosenecks are constructed in a unique method in order to provide a wide range of mounting positions while simultaneously protecting the microphone elements from distortion due to ambient mechanical energy. The designs include methods for mounting microphones and other transducers onto musical instrument or other fixtures using two part fastening systems, elastic cords, padded hooks, and other devices. An optional microphone cover is described which will serve to reduce or eliminate feedback and other unwanted sounds.
Claims7
A transducer assembly comprising:
- (a) a gooseneck sub-assembly further comprising a transducer element attached to a flexible mounting arm,
- (b) a service module comprising a housing which encloses electronic component means to service said transducer
- (c) a flexible multiple conductor cable means to electronically communicate between said transducer and said service module,
- (d) an elastic cord connected on its separate ends to said gooseneck sub-assembly and said service module,
- (e) and mounting appendages attached to said gooseneck sub-assembly and said service module such that when said mounting appendages are affixed to separate components of a musical instrument, the tension of said elastic cord will serve to securely mount said microphone assembly onto said musical instrument.
