Abstract

A microphone comprises a three-pin socket, a first USB socket and a USB adapter. The first USB socket is fixed within the three-pin socket. The three-pin socket comprises an inserted block and three pins. The three pins are fixed on the inserted block. The first USB socket is embedded in the inserted block. The USB adapter comprises a USB plug which matches the first USB socket and a second USB socket which has a different dimension from the first USB socket. The USB plug and the second USB socket are connected electrically. The microphone can be normally used at all occasions. The dimension of the finished product is reduced so as to save a very large space. The microphone can be electrically connected with a USB data line with a USB plug having a different dimension from the first USB socket.
