ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a shroud and housing assembly which is attached to or forms an integral part of the front sidewall of a hands-free telephone subset. The shroud assembly contains a trough which is directed along the length thereof and which terminates at one end in a housing for a microphone or similar device. The shroud has a flanged wall integrally secured to the microphone housing for accommodating an electret condenser microphone. The shroud section is further supported by means of upstanding posts which are connected to the sides of the or flange by means of thin webs. The posts and webs act to strengthen the housing while further providing support to prevent undesired vibrations which emanate from a loudspeaker contained within the subset housing from coupling to the accommodated microphone. The reinforced housing minimizes the coupling of mechanical borne vibrations between the subsets loudspeaker and the microphone. Partial slots are also placed around the outer edge of the shroud about the area which contains the microphone housing. These slots have little or no effect on acoustic signals arriving from the front of the subset but signals arriving from the rear enter both the slots and the front cavity opening. In this manner, the microphone discriminates against certain sounds which are cancelled out while preserving the unidirectional characteristics of the microphone.
