Abstract

The invention relates to a microphone. Microphones of very different types and genera have been known for a very long time and are also required for very different applications. Apart from “classical” microphones, microphones are also used in headsets, and frequently microphones are accommodated by mounts, e.g. goosenecks, vibrating mounts, microphone booms and the like. The object of the invention is therefore to avoid the previous disadvantages and to propose an aesthetically attractive solution with which the microphone transducer can be decoupled from the structure-borne sound excitation of the housing. A microphone having a housing and a microphone transducer accommodated by the housing, characterised in that a structure-borne sound decoupling element bearing the transducer is constructed inside the housing.
