Abstract: The present application relates to a backplate for a recording microphone, and the recording microphone, belonging to the technical field of acoustoelectric conversion. A surface, facing a diaphragm, of the backplate is a spherical surface recessed away from the diaphragm. According to the backplate for the recording microphone and the recording microphone provided by the present application, the maximum sound pressure level that the recording microphone can withstand is effectively increased, and the occurrence of attachment between the diaphragm and the backplate under the action of high-sound-pressure-level signals is reduced.
