Abstract

A back electrode has a plurality of ridges on one surface. An electret foil is spaced from the ridged surface of the back electrode. In the absence of applied pressure, a gap remains between the foil and the surface of the back electrode between the ridges. Above one applied pressure, the foil collapses between the ridges. Below a second applied pressure, the foil returns to its original position.
