Abstract

A microphone channel is constructed from a pair of unidirectional microphone elements mounted back-to-back for monitoring sound coming from a predetermined area of space. The output signals of each microphone element are converted to D.C. logarithmic signals which are compared for gating an electrical output signal of a microphone element to the output/amplifying system.
