Abstract: A mount assembly for a personal microphone is described. The mount assembly includes a spring-biased clip and a cage. The clip connects the assembly to an article of clothing. The cage is formed from an elongated bar made of rigid material. The bar is formed into a helix to define an enclosure that receives a microphone. The spirals of the helix may form a conical structure formed of spirals with increasing diameters. The cage may further include a base that secures the transmission cable of the microphone. The assembly protects the microphone from contact with objects, thus minimizes ambient and mechanical interference.

Abstract: A mounting assembly structured to removably and collectively support a plurality of microphones in a predetermined, organized array, at a location wherein sound pick-up and/or amplification is required. The mounting assembly includes a base having an attachment assembly for removably and/or adjustably securing the base to anyone of a plurality of different support structures, wherein the base further includes a gripping assembly comprising a plurality of apertures each having a sufficient circumferential dimension to supportingly engage anyone of a plurality of differently configured microphones. At least some of the plurality of apertures comprising a closed circumferential configuration wherein others of the plurality of apertures comprise a substantially open circumferential configuration, which is at least partially defined by an access opening disposed in communicating relation with a peripheral edge of the base and the interior of a corresponding one of said open apertures.
