A condenser microphone includes a housing and a microphone unit arranged within the housing. The microphone unit includes an annular retainer oriented in confronting relation to the front end wall of the housing, a movable diaphragm connected to the annular retainer, an annular spacer connected to one side of the movable diaphragm opposite the annular retainer, a substrate including a back electrode oriented in confronting relation to the movable diaphragm and having an electret thereon, and a printed circuit board having electronic components. The back electrode is operatively associated with the movable diaphragm to constitute a condenser. The condenser has a variable electric capacitance. The electronic components of the printed circuit board develop an electric signal in response to a change in the electrical capacitance between the movable diaphragm and the back electrode. A conductive adhesive is employed to sealingly hold the annular retainer against the front end wall of the housing.

Condenser microphone and method for manufacturing the same

A back plate having a stationary back electrode is secured to a substrate. A diaphragm electrode is mounted on the back plate interposing a spacer. A frame having a sound collecting hole is mounted on the diaphragm electrode.

Condenser microphone

An electret microphone comprises a back plate having a stationary back electrode and secured to a substrate. An electret layer is formed on the stationary back electrode and a spacer is mounted on the back plate. A diaphragm electrode is mounted on the spacer.

Electret microphone

A back plate having a recess in an underside thereof and a stationary back electrode at a central portion thereof is secured to a substrate, a spacer having an opening is mounted on the back plate so as to form a vacancy between an inside wall of the opening and a periphery of the stationary back electrode. A diaphragm electrode is provided on the spacer. The back plate has vents in the vacancy so as to communicate a space between the back electrode and the diaphragm electrode to a space in the recess of the back plate.
