MICROPHONE SUSPENSION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240040295 titled 'MICROPHONE SUSPENSION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a microphone with a housing and a windscreen coupled together, creating a central volume. Inside this volume, there is an audio module consisting of a receiver capsule, a carrier unit, and a counterweight. The microphone also includes a suspension element that suspends the audio module within the central volume by being coupled with the housing and carrier unit. The suspension element has an inner body that contacts the carrier unit and two flanges extending outward from the inner body, which are fixedly coupled with the housing. The cross-section of the flanges includes arched regions that extend partially to the inner wall of the housing, and these arched regions are oriented in opposite directions.

  • The microphone includes a housing and a windscreen coupled together.
  • Inside the housing and windscreen, there is a central volume.
  • The microphone has an audio module consisting of a receiver capsule, a carrier unit, and a counterweight.
  • A suspension element is used to suspend the audio module within the central volume.
  • The suspension element includes an inner body that contacts the carrier unit.
  • The suspension element also has two flanges extending outward from the inner body.
  • The flanges are fixedly coupled with the housing.
  • The cross-section of the flanges includes arched regions that extend partially to the inner wall of the housing.
  • The arched regions of the flanges are oriented in opposite directions.

Potential Applications

  • Professional audio recording and broadcasting
  • Live performances and concerts
  • Podcasting and voice-over work
  • Video production and filmmaking

Problems Solved

  • Reduces unwanted noise and wind interference during audio recording
  • Provides stability and suspension for the audio module, minimizing vibrations and handling noise
  • Improves overall audio quality and clarity

Benefits
