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: An earphone assembly for an in-ear listening device and method for filtering a portion of an audible sound output are disclosed. An earphone comprises a housing configured to receive a nozzle, a plurality of drivers each having an acoustical output disposed within the housing, and an elongated passageway disposed within the housing configured to filter at least an audible portion of a sound wave output from at least one of the plurality of drivers. The method comprises providing an elongated passageway to provide an increased path length and connecting an output of the at least one driver to the elongated passageway to configure the sound output to be received within the elongated passageway to acoustically filter a portion of the sound output from the at least one driver.

Abstract: A unidirectional microphone element can be embedded within an object and be made flush to the object's surface yet retain its directional discrimination characteristic. Acoustic waveguides transmit acoustic input signals from acoustic ports to the front and rear input ports of the microphone element while also providing intelligibility-enhancing frequency response shaping. The housing wherein the microphone element is mounted acoustically isolates the front and rear input ports of the microphone element.
