Patent number: 8280082Abstract: The present invention relates to a microphone that includes a housing and a diaphragm and backplate located with the housing. The housing has a sound port for receiving the sound. The diaphragm undergoes movement relative to the backplate, which it opposes, in response to the incoming sound. The backplate has a charged layer with a first surface that is exposed to the diaphragm and a second surface opposite the first surface. The backplate further includes a conductor for transmitting a signal from the backplate to electronics in the housing. The conductor faces the second surface of the charged layer. To minimize the charge degradation created by contact with or infiltration of foreign materials, the first surface, the second surface, or both surfaces of the charged layer includes a protective layer thereon.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2010Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Sonion Nederland B.V.Inventors: Aart Z. van Halteren, Roelof A. Marissen, Michel Bosman, Dion I. de Roo, Raymond Mögelin, Michel de Nooij

Patent number: 7415121Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for damping the resonance frequency in a microphone. The method and apparatus of the invention involve providing an elastomeric frame to support the backplate. The elastomeric frame forms a substantially air tight seal around the backplate. A hole is formed in the backplate and a cover having an opening therein is placed over the hole in the backplate. The frequency response of the microphone may then be controlled by precisely controlling the size, shape, and/or location of the opening in the cover overlaying the hole. The cover may also serve as an electrical contact to other components in the microphone.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2004Date of Patent: August 19, 2008Assignee: Sonion Nederland B.V.Inventors: Raymond Mögelin, Eddy Dubbeldeman, Ronald Appel

Patent number: 7286680Abstract: A microphone includes a separate end cover with a sound port. A diaphragm is directly attached to the end cover. The backplate is positioned within the housing against a ridge near an end of the housing. A spacer is positioned against the backplate. The diaphragm engages the spacer when the end cover, with its attached diaphragm, is installed in the housing. The backplate of the microphone has an integral connecting wire that is made of the same material as the backplate. The integral connecting wire may have an inherent spring force to provide a pressure contact with the accompanying electrical components. The integral connecting wire electrically couples the backplate to the electronic components within the housing and transmits the raw audio signal corresponding to movement of the diaphragm. The housing may have first and second ridges on which the printed circuit board and the electret assembly are mounted, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2006Date of Patent: October 23, 2007Assignee: Sonion Nederland B.V.Inventors: Michael G.

Patent number: 6937735Abstract: A microphone is constructed to be more tolerant to a wide range of relative humidity conditions without adversely affecting the performance of the microphone. The microphone includes a housing with a sound port for receiving sound and an electret assembly for converting the sound into an output signal. The electret assembly includes a diaphragm and a backplate. The backplate is made of at least two layers, usually polymeric layers. The first layer of material has a first hygroscopic coefficient and a second layer of material has a second hygroscopic coefficient. The first and second layers cause the backplate to bend in response to higher humidity conditions, thereby minimizing the adverse effects on microphone performance caused by characteristic changes in the diaphragm at the higher humidity conditions.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2002Date of Patent: August 30, 2005Assignee: SonionMicrotronic Néderland B.V.Inventors: Dion I. de Roo, Adrianus M.
