  • Patent number: 9906862
    Abstract: There is provided a stereo microphone unit having a first and a second interference tube which are arranged at an angle relative to each other and which respectively have a first end and a second end. The stereo microphone unit has a first and a second microphone capsule for detecting an audio signal. The microphone capsules are respectively provided at an end of the first and second interference tubes. The microphone unit further has a securing unit for jointly securing the first and second interference tubes, in particular to a mobile device or to a stand. There is also a cover as a wind protector which is connected to the securing unit and completely encloses the first and second interference tubes.

  • 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.
