Abstract: A backplate assembly for a condenser microphone is disclosed. The backplate may be coated with a parylene configured to help reduce the flatness deviation of the backplate across the diameter of the backplate. A plurality of openings may extend from the top portion of the backplate to the bottom portion of the backplate.

Abstract: A microphone assembly can include a microphone capsule having a diaphragm and a diaphragm cover, a grill for protecting the microphone capsule, and a filter material placed between the grill and the diaphragm cover. The microphone assembly can include a first air gap between the grill and the filter material to create a first interface, a second air gap between the filter material and the diaphragm cover to create a second interface, and a third air gap between the diaphragm cover and a diaphragm to create a third interface. The first interface, the second interface, and the third interface are each configured to create turbulence to assist in draining off energy from plosives and wind and reduce intensity of disturbances at the diaphragm. The filter material may include a mesh and can be supported by a frame, and the frame may be configured to fit underneath the grill.

Abstract: A microphone may comprise a housing and a rotatable positioning member. The rotatable positioning member may be configured to aid in the specific placement of the microphone capsule relative to the surface of an audio output device. The rotatable positioning member may offset a force caused by a tension in a cable connected to the housing based on the rotatable positioning member being rotated from a first position to a second position.

Abstract: A backplate assembly for a condenser microphone. The backplate may be coated with a parylene configured to help reduce the flatness deviation of the backplate across the diameter of the backplate. A plurality of openings may extend from the top portion of the backplate to the bottom portion of the backplate.

Abstract: A ribbon microphone assembly may include a ribbon capsule assembly, an amplifier connected to the capsule assembly, an analog-to-digital converter connected to the amplifier, a digital signal processor connected to the analog-to-digital converter to compensate for an on-axis frequency response caused by a directional polar response of the ribbon microphone assembly, and a USB output port.

Abstract: A microphone assembly comprising a housing, a single flexible diaphragm, and a rigid backplate. The backplate may be coated with a parylene configured to help reduce the flatness deviation of the backplate across the diameter of the backplate. A plurality of openings may extend from the top portion of the backplate to the bottom portion of the backplate.
