Abstract: A ribbon microphone housing incorporates a shock-absorbing apparatus to reduce vibration to a ribbon for noise reduction and high-fidelity electric output signal generation. The ribbon for the ribbon microphone housing is typically made of a thin corrugated strip of aluminum. The shock-absorbing apparatus utilizes spring elements to suspend a ribbon microphone frame in air. The spring elements isolate the ribbon contained in a ribbon frame from vibration, rumble, and shock exerted to the ribbon microphone housing which encloses both the ribbon and the ribbon frame. The shock-absorbing apparatus also uses an electrically-conductive spring element configured to carry the electric output signal from an electrode connected to one end of the ribbon to one or more transformers for further signal processing.
