Abstract

There is provided a dynamic microphone in which the output impedance does not increase and also the failure rate does not increase though using a microphone unit and a vibration detecting unit to reduce handling noise. In the dynamic microphone including a microphone unit 20 that includes a first diaphragm 24 and a first magnetic circuit 26 and delivers sound signals and a vibration detecting unit 30 that includes a second diaphragm 32 and a second magnetic circuit 33 and detects vibrations applied to a microphone case, whereby the output signal of the vibration detecting unit 30 being delivered as an opposite phase with respect to the output signal of the microphone unit 20 , a field coil 41 excited by the output signal of the vibration detecting unit 30 is provided on the first magnetic circuit 26 side of the microphone unit 20.

Claims (6)

1. A dynamic microphone comprising a microphone unit, a microphone case, and a vibration detecting unit,

the microphone unit comprising a first magnetism generating circuit and a first diaphragm, the first magnetism generating circuit having a first magnetic gap formed by a first permanent magnet, and the first diaphragm having a first voice coil arranged in the first magnetic gap;

the microphone case supporting the microphone unit on one end side thereof and being provided with a back air chamber having a predetermined volume communicating with the back surface side of the first diaphragm therein; and

the vibration detecting unit being arranged in the back air chamber in a state in which a second magnetism generating circuit and a second diaphragm are provided, the second magnetism generating circuit having a second magnetic gap formed by a second permanent magnet, and the second diaphragm having a second voice coil arranged in the second magnetic gap, whereby the output signal of the vibration detecting unit being delivered as an opposite phase with respect to the output signal of the microphone unit,

wherein a field coil excited by the output signal of the second voice coil is provided on the first magnetism generating circuit side.

2. The dynamic microphone according to claim 1 , wherein the field coil is arranged around the first permanent coil.
