BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a microphone and, more particularly, to a wireless microphone structure.

2. Description of the Related Art

With the rise of webcasting, more and more users are focusing on the operation of the video recording function. The sound source signal or audio recording signal is the most important factor during the video recording process so that the film has beautiful pictures and clear acoustic effects. The conventional electronic appliance, including the cell phone, the digital camera, the video camera and the notebook computer (or laptop), can often achieve a good photographic quality at any time by changing the focus. However, it is extremely inadequate for the conventional electronic appliance to capture the audio signals. That is because the microphone of the conventional electronic appliance adopts a built-in design. In such a manner, when the video recorder is away from the screen character (such as the host) with a determined distance, the audio receiving effect is poor due to interference of noises, thereby decreasing the acoustic quality. In addition, the recorded volume is too low due to the long distance. A wireless microphone is used to provide an audio recording function to the electronic appliance. Thus, the host holds the wireless microphone which transmits the audio signal to the electronic appliance that is distant from the host, so as to achieve a better video recording effect. However, the conventional wireless microphone cannot regulate the volume and the acoustic quality of the audio signal so that the audio signal is easily interrupted by noise interference, thereby decreasing the acoustic quality. In addition, the accessories, such as the cable, the wireless receiver or the like, of the conventional wireless microphone are separated from each other and cannot be integrated, so that the user has to search for the accessories of the conventional wireless microphone in the backpack, thereby causing inconvenience to the user.
