  • Patent number: 6757401
    Abstract: The present invention provides a Dracula clip type of microphone holder, which enables further increase in the safe mounting during sticking or drawing of the pins on clothes of its wearer. The improved microphone holder comprises at least one microphone, a holder base member having front and back faces, a holder device slidably mounted on the front face of the holder base member for holding the microphone, and a hook pin having pin(s) on the side of the back face of the holder base member, the hook pin being rotatably supported at the approximate proximal end of the holder base member, in the direction of crossing the front or back face of the holder base member, such that the pins are extended from or retracted to the back face of the holder base member through slid movement of the holder device on the front face of the holder base member.

  • Patent number: 3993869
    Abstract: An amplifying circuit for use with a transducer includes a pair of field-effect transistors which are of different conductive types from each other and each of which has gate, drain and source electrodes. The gate electrodes of the field-effect transistors are connected to each other and are further connected to an output terminal of an electrostatic type mechanical-electrical transducer, while the source electrodes of the field-effect transistors are connected to each other and are further connected to an output circuit. One of the drain electrodes is connected to a voltage source and the other drain electrode is connected to the circuit ground. High input impedance is maintained by using no gate resistor at the input, and using a current-sourced source-follower secondstage. Source resistors improve linear performance.

  • Patent number: 3961202
    Abstract: A first power supply and output circuit and a second power supply and output circuit for use with a microphone unit having an electrostatic transducer and pre-amplifier transistor is disclosed. DC power to the microphone unit is supplied from the first circuit through a single core cable. An output signal from the microphone unit also passes through the cable to an output transformer in the first circuit. The first circuit has a first battery and the second circuit a DC power source which, when connected to the first circuit, stops drain on the first battery.
