Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0429264A2] A microphone apparatus using a non-directional microphone and a directional microphone equalizes the pressure and vibration responses of the directional microphone located near a sound source to respective counterparts of the non-directional microphone, and processes signals to cancel acoustic noise and vibration noise generated from the sound source near the microphones. This microphone apparatus, when built in an appliance having an acoustic noise and vibration source within it, reduces acoustic noise, vibration noise, and wind noise, to prevent reduction of the S/N ratio at the time of sound pick up, enabling best-quality sound recording. <IMAGE>
