Abstract
The disclosure describes improved apparatus for adjusting a unidirectional microphone in order to reduce the electrical output due to mechanical shocks applied to the microphone casing. The microphone includes a diaphragm supported by a housing which is resiliently mounted on the casing. The adjustment apparatus includes a mounting diaphragm positioned between the outer casing and the housing, and an enclosed chamber provided with an air leak which can alter the compliance and resistance of the mounting diaphragm in a controlled manner. A method of balancing the size or value of the elements of the microphone to provide pneumatic shock cancellation is also described.
