Abstract
A back air room of a microphone unit can be enlarged and a model with a sound signal output switch can easily be diverted to a switchless model. A reed switchis used as the sound signal output switch which turns on or off the sound signal from a microphone unit. This reed switch is disposed at an output connectorportion at an rear end of a microphone case. It is arranged that a magnetis disposed at a connector coverwhich surrounds an output connector and relative movement of the connector cover with respect to the output connector allows on/off operation. Thus, by removing the connector cover, it is possible to provide the microphone as a switchless model which always outputs the sound signal from the microphone unit
