ABSTRACT:
This is a highly directional floor microphone. A pair of hinged panels rest upon the floor. A compliance may be used to acoustically seal the panels to the floor. At the apex of the floor and hinge is a transducer. The hinged panels are trapezoidal in shape and the hinge is acoustically opaque. The floor increases the directivity 6 dB. The panels increase the directivity by 12 dB. Tapering the panels in a trapezoidal shape increases the directivity by 2 dB. The total increase in directivity is 20 dB, allowing a working distance of ten times that of an omni-directional microphone. The folding nature allows easy storage and carriage.
