Abstract
The voice recorder includes a right-and-left pair of microphones. Each microphone is fixed to a holder that is rotatable about a rotation axis, and a sound-collection axis of each microphone is tilted to the rotation axis. Turning each holder by 180 degrees allows each microphone to change over between an inward position where the sound-collecting axes SAX of the microphones intersect and an outward position where the sound-collecting axes do not intersect. Each microphone is placed offset from the rotation axis on each holder in such a direction that the sound-collecting axes are spaced apart from each other in a height-direction (Z-direction) while the microphones are in the inward position.
