Abstract
A microphone system has a lid coupled with a base to form a package with an interior chamber. The package has a top, a bottom, and a plurality of sides, and at least one of those sides has a portion with a substantially planar surface forming an opening for receiving an acoustic signal. The microphone system also has a microphone die positioned within the interior chamber. The microphone is positioned at a non-orthogonal, non-zero angle with regard to the opening in the at least one side.
