Abstract
Provided is a condenser microphone having a plurality of condenser microphone units connected in series to improve output sensitivity, and simplify a circuit configuration of the condenser microphone. The condenser microphone units are directly connected to each other in series. An audio signal obtained from one condenser microphone unit, excepting a last series-connected condenser microphone unit, is transmitted to an adjacent succeeding condenser microphone unit, and first and second impedance converters each using an active element are connected to first and last series-connected condenser microphone unit. The audio signals obtained from the condenser microphone units are added and output with balance from output terminals of the first and second impedance converters.
