Abstract
The present invention relates to a motor vehicle mounted directional microphone assembly for use in hands-free cellular telecommunications. The microphone assembly is comprised of a case and a removable directional microphone module. The case is adapted to mount and lock the module in a plurality of different orientations, thereby enabling the assembly to accommodate various mounting arrangements within the vehicle. The module is releasable, however, from its locked position to permit re-orientation of the microphone with respect to the case, if desired. The module is also completely removable from the case to permit mounting of the module within the vehicle in mounting arrangements independent of the case.
