Abstract

A sound conditioning device. The device includes a shield comprising an elongated plate having a front face and a rear face. A fastener is coupled to the rear face of the shield, where the fastener is adapted to detachably couple to a boom of a headset having a voice microphone. A sound conditioning material is coupled to the rear face, wherein the conditioning material overlays the voice microphone to encapsulate the voice microphone and suppress ambient sound detected by the microphone.

Claims (18)

1 . A sound conditioning device, comprising:

a shield comprising an elongated plate having a front face and a rear face;

a fastener coupled to the rear face of the shield, where the fastener is adapted to detachably couple to a boom of a headset having a voice microphone;

a sound conditioning material coupled to the rear face, wherein the conditioning material overlays the voice microphone to encapsulate the voice microphone and suppress ambient sound detected by the microphone.

2 . The sound conditioning device of claim 1 , wherein the sound conditioning material comprises a planar sheet of sound-absorbing material.

3 . The sound conditioning device of claim 2 , wherein sound conditioning material includes a groove extending inward from an outer end of the plana sheet of material to a closed end formed in a central portion of the material, the groove being constructed to a depth short of the thickness of the material, thereby defining a sleeve for receiving and enclosing the voice microphone.

4 . The sound conditioning device of claim 1 , wherein the sound conditioning material is detachably coupled to the rear face for sanitary purposes.

5 . The sound conditioning device of claim 4 , wherein the sound conditioning material is detachably coupled to the rear face by hook and loop fasteners.

6 . The sound conditioning device of claim 1 , wherein the fastener comprises two or more fastening clips attached to the rear face of the shield.

7 . A sound conditioning device, comprising:

a shield comprising an elongated plate having a front face and a rear face;

a fastener coupled to the rear face of the shield, where the fastener is adapted to detachably couple to a boom of a headset having a voice microphone;

a sound conditioning material coupled to the rear face, wherein the conditioning material comprises a pocket for receiving the voice microphone to partially enclose the voice microphone to suppress ambient sound detected by the microphone.

8 . The sound conditioning device of claim 7 , wherein the sound conditioning material comprises a planar sheet of sound-absorbing material.

9 . The sound conditioning device of claim 8 , wherein the pocket is defined by a cut-out groove extending from a side of the planar sheet of material to a central region of the material.

10 . The sound conditioning device of claim 7 , wherein the sound conditioning material is detachably coupled to the rear face for sanitary purposes.

11 . The sound conditioning device of claim 10 , wherein the sound conditioning material is detachably coupled to the rear face by hook and loop fasteners.

12 . The sound conditioning device of claim 7 , wherein the fastener comprises two or more fastening clips attached to the rear face of the shield.
