A sound collector comprising:

• a sound collection hood having an opening at the front end and a sound reflective inner wall shaped like a rotating surface having a focus behind the opening at least provided on the opening side, thus forming an inner space;
• a microphone placed inside the sound collection hood with at least a sound receiving face oriented forward for receiving a sound wave entering the sound collection hood;
• an acoustical absorbent member, independent of the sound reflective inner wall, disposed inside the sound collection hood so as to surround the sound receiving face of the microphone, forming an incident path for sound to enter the sound receiving face, wherein an angle of the incident path is in the range 150°±15°;
• and
• a partition wall which is disposed ahead of the acoustical absorbent member and separates the inner space including the sound receiving face from the outside of the sound collection hood.
