Abstract

A partition wall is held in contact with a back electrode on the opposite side from a diaphragm, and a fine acoustic path is formed in at least one of the contact surfaces of the partition wall and the back electrode. The acoustic path communicates with a sound hole made in the back electrode and a sound hole made in the partition wall. The velocity component of sound reaching the back of the diaphragm is controlled by the fine acoustic path.
