ABSTRACT:
An electroacoustic transducer system for converting sound waves propagating from a musical instrument drum to an electric signal is generally provided. The system includes a housing, an electroacoustic transducer, and a cover. The housing includes a concave inner surface and a convex outer surface. In addition, the housing defines a housing cavity with a mouth. The electroacoustic transducer is disposed in the housing cavity and faces outwardly from the concave inner surface and towards the mouth to receive sound waves propagating from the drum. The electroacoustic transducer receives and converts the sounds waves in the housing cavity to the electric signal. The cover has a generally planar outer surface and extends over the mouth to at least partially enclose the electroacoustic transducer.
