Abstract
A microphone assembly for mounting in an electronic communication device, and wherein the microphone assembly comprises one or more sound inlet port(s) with channels (7), and one or more microphone(s) inside a housing (1). One or more controlling means (5) are an integrated part of the microphone assembly, said controlling means comprising a sound inlet part (6) composing a button and being surrounded by a second casing part (8), the button being loaded by a spring (9). The housing (1) comprises a terminal (2) for grounding the microphone, a terminal (3) connected to e.g. a battery, and a terminal (4) for signalling out.
Claims35
A microphone assembly including a casing mounted in an electronic communication device, the microphone assembly comprising:
- one or more sound inlet ports,
- one or more microphones within the casing,
- one or more channels for allowing sound to pass through the one or more sound inlet ports to the one or more microphones, and
- one or more electrical controlling devices within the casing that can be operated by a user for selectively controlling the operation of the assembly,
- wherein the one or more sound inlet ports, the one or more microphones and the one or more electrical controlling devices are combined to form an integrated microphone assembly, and
- wherein the one or more electrical controlling devices form part of the one or more sound inlet ports and can be operated by the user without affecting a configuration of any of the one or more sound inlet ports, any of the one or more channels and any path the sound will follow from the one or more sound inlet ports to the one or more microphones.
A microphone assembly for mounting in an electronic communication device, the microphone assembly comprising:
- a microphone housing;
- a sound inlet port for passing sound to the microphone housing;
- a channel for allowing sound to pass through the sound inlet port to a microphone, and
- wherein an electrical controlling device forming at least part of the sound inlet port, the electrical controlling device being operable by a user for selectively controlling operation of the microphone assembly and without affecting any path the sound will follow from the sound inlet port to the microphone housing.
A microphone assembly for mounting in an electronic communication device, the microphone assembly having a sound inlet port, and an electrical controlling device that can be operated by a user for selectively controlling the operation of the assembly and without affecting any path a sound will follow from the sound inlet port to the assembly, said sound inlet port and said electrical controlling device being combined to form an integrated microphone assembly, wherein the electrical controlling device forms part of the sound inlet port, and wherein the electrical controlling device includes a user operable actuator having a generally rounded outer configuration.
