Abstract

A microphone module according to the present disclosure includes a housing, a vibration sensor, and a subtractor. The vibration sensor outputs electric signals. The electric signals each represent collected sound and vibration. The subtractor outputs a subtraction signal on the basis of differential signals. The differential signals correspond to an output difference between the electric signals output by the vibration sensor.

Claims (13)

1 . A microphone module comprising:

a housing;

a vibration sensor that outputs electric signals, each representing collected sound and vibration; and

a subtractor that outputs a subtraction signal based on differential signals, the differential signals corresponding to an output difference between the electric signals output by the vibration sensor.

2 . The microphone module according to claim 1 , further comprising amplifiers that output amplified signals obtained by performing impedance conversion and amplification on the differential signals output by the vibration sensor,

wherein the subtractor outputs a subtraction signal obtained by subtracting the amplified signals output by the amplifiers.

3 . The microphone module according to claim 1 , further comprising a transistor element that outputs converted signals obtained by performing impedance conversion on the differential signals output by the vibration sensor,

wherein the subtractor outputs a subtraction signal obtained by subtracting the converted signals output by the transistor element.

4 . The microphone module according to claim 3 , wherein the housing contains the vibration sensor, the transistor element, and the subtractor.

5 . The microphone module according to claim 1 , wherein the housing has an antistatic property.

6 . The microphone module according to claim 2 , wherein the housing has an antistatic property.

7 . The microphone module according to claim 3 , wherein the housing has an antistatic property.

8 . The microphone module according to claim 4 , wherein the housing has an antistatic property.
