Abstract
A sound collecting device includes a microphone array having unit holders each of which a microphone unit is attached to. Connection of connecting portions formed on the holders to each other causes a directional axis of each microphone unit to be directed outward from a face of a regular polyhedron. The sound collecting devices further includes a frame disposed outside the microphone array so as to surround the microphone array and an even number of ring-shaped elastic bodies that connect a part of the frame and the connected holders at a plurality of positions such that the microphone array is positioned at a central portion of the frame, wherein a half of the even number of elastic bodies are connected twistedly in one direction from the frame toward the microphone array, and another half elastic bodies are connected twistedly in an opposite direction.
