  • Patent number: 9319761
    Abstract: There is provided a microphone comprising a microphone capsule and a microphone capsule suspension. The microphone capsule suspension has a first and a second housing portion and a decoupling unit. In that case the microphone capsule is mounted to the decoupling unit for solid-borne sound decoupling. The decoupling unit is in turn fixed to the first and/or second housing portion. The decoupling unit has a shape-changing portion which under loading changes its shape. The decoupling unit has at least two arms which each have a first and a second end. The second ends of the arms respectively have a fixing portion for receiving a microphone capsule. Each arm has a shape-changing portion which changes its shape under a first loading and an elastic portion which permits elastic deformation in respect of length as from a second loading.

  • Patent number: 8731231
    Abstract: There is provided a dynamic sound transducer having a diaphragm system (10) which has at least a first and second metallized surface (11) which are separated from each other by an insulating surface (12). The dynamic sound transducer further has a moving coil (20) with a coil wire (25). An end of the coil wire is electrically conductingly connected to the first metallized surface (11) and the other end of the coil wire is electrically conductingly connected to the second metallized surface (11).
