  • Patent number: 5255328
    Abstract: The invention relates to a supporting structure of a diaphragm of a dynamic microphone. A viscous liquid is filled in the inside of the peripheral edge portion of the edge portion of the diaphragm, thereby supporting the diaphragm to the casing through the viscous liquid. On the other hand, the peripheral edge portion of the diaphragm is fixed to the casing by a fixed ring and the viscous liquid is filled between the fixed ring and the front and rear surfaces of the peripheral edge portion of the edge portion of the diaphragm. With the above structure, by supporting the diaphragm to the casing through the viscous liquid, the liquid also moves in accordance with the vibration of the diaphragm without blocking the vibration of the diaphragm. Therefore, it is possible to certainly prevent the occurrence of the resonance at a special frequency.
