  • Gradient micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) microphone assembly
    Patent number: 10820074
    Abstract: MEMS microphone assembly which is formed by the combination of front and rear single piece boots, which are configured to mate, and a MEMS microphone. The front boot includes two ports for receiving sound waves which are provided to ports of the MEMS microphone. The front boot includes two collars to form the ports and which are used to align the MEMS microphone assembly in a housing containing the MEMS microphone assembly. Acoustic tubes transfer the sound waves from the ports to the MEMS microphone. There can be air channels provided with the acoustic tubes to reduce microphonics. The front and rear boots contain recesses to capture the MEMS microphone to simplify alignment and assembly.
