Abstract

A telephone transmitter in which a cavity is formed in front of a vibrating membrane of the microphone transmitter to thereby reduce wind-noise. The cross-sectional area and volume of the cavity are larger respectively than the cumulative total cross-sectional area and volume of the apertures formed in the mouthpiece of the telephone transmitter. At least one of the apertures may be formed to serve a shielding function to prevent an air stream from directly blowing onto the vibrating membrane, thereby further reducing wind-noise pickup by the transmitter.
