Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Mikrofon mit einer Haltevorrichtung zur im wesentlichen freiliegenden Halterung des Mikrofons an einem Körper, mit Haltemitteln und mit einem Verbindungselement, an dessem Ende das Mikrofon befestigt werden kann.The invention relates to a microphone with a holding device for substantially exposed mounting of the microphone to a body, with holding means and with a connecting element, at whose end the microphone can be attached.

In der Praxis sind unterschiedliche Haltevorrichtungen zur Halterung eines Mikrofons an einem Körper, wie beispielsweise an einem Musikinstrument oder an einem Stativ, bekannt.In practice, different holding devices for holding a microphone to a body, such as on a musical instrument or on a tripod known.

Bei einer bekannten Haltevorrichtung ist das Mikrofon durch Haltemittel starr mit dem Musikinstrument oder dem Stativ verbunden. Die starre Verbindung überträgt jedoch in störender Weise Körperschall, beispielsweise von dem Musikinstrument, mit dem die Haltevorrichtung verbunden ist, oder auch Trittschall auf das Mikrofon. Dadurch kommt es zu hörbaren Verschlechterungen eines aufgenommenen akustischen Signals.In a known holding device, the microphone is rigidly connected by holding means with the musical instrument or the tripod. However, the rigid connection transmits disturbing structure-borne sound, for example, from the musical instrument to which the holding device is connected, or even impact sound to the microphone. This leads to audible deterioration of a recorded acoustic signal.

In DE 39 06 622 A1 wird eine elastische Halterung für Mikrofone vorgeschlagen, deren elastischer Teil zur Dämpfung der Körperschallübertragung aus einem Schlauch besteht, wobei dieser Schlauch als elastische Schlaufe ausgebildet ist und eine im Verhältnis zu ihren übrigen Abmessungen sehr dünne Wandung und einen lichten Durchmesser, etwa doppelt so groß wie ihre. Breite, aufweist, wobei die Schlaufe, die das Mikrofon haltende Klemmhülse oder das Mikrofongehäuse selbst mit dem Stativanschlussstück verbindet. Die elastische Schlaufe ist nach allen Richtungen nachgiebig, so dass die Weiterleitung von Körperschall auf das Mikrofon unterbunden werden kann.In DE 39 06 622 A1 an elastic support for microphones is proposed, the elastic part for damping the structure-borne sound transmission consists of a tube, this tube is designed as an elastic loop and a relation to their other dimensions very thin wall and a clear diameter, about twice as large as their , Width, wherein the loop, the microphone holding the clamping sleeve or the microphone housing itself connects to the tripod fitting. The elastic loop is yielding in all directions, so that the transmission of structure-borne noise to the microphone can be prevented.

US 3,153,123 offenbart eine Mikrofonhalterung, bei der ein Schacht in einen Hohlzylinder eingeführt ist und sich gegenüber diesem durch vibrationsabsorbierende Gummiringe abstützt. US 3,153,123 discloses a microphone holder in which a shaft is inserted into a hollow cylinder and is supported against it by vibration-absorbing rubber rings.

Eine weitere Mikrofonhalterung ist aus DE 42 26 471 A1 bekannt. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Halterung zur körperschallisolierten Aufnahme einer Mikrofonkleinkapsel, wobei die Halterung galgenförmig ausgebildet ist mit einem Kragteil, das einseitig mit einem Stützteil verbunden ist und zur Aufnahme der Mikrofonkleinkapsel dient.Another microphone holder is off DE 42 26 471 A1 known. This is a holder for the structure-borne sound isolated recording of a microphone capsule, wherein the holder is formed galgenförmig with a Kragteil, which is connected on one side with a support member and serves to accommodate the microphone capsule.

Aus DE 11 77 832 ist eine Mikrofonhalterung mit einem Schwanenhals und einer Leitungsdurchführung durch Verbindungselement und Tragarm-bekannt.Out DE 11 77 832 is a microphone holder with a gooseneck and a line feed through connector and support arm-known.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine kleine und leichte Haltevorrichtung zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei der eine Körperschallübertragung zu einem mit der Haltevorrichtung verbundenen Mikrofon durch Entkoppelung möglichst weitgehend unterbunden wird.Object of the present invention is to provide a small and lightweight holding device available, in which a structure-borne sound transmission to a microphone connected to the holding device is as far as possible prevented by decoupling.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass bei der Haltevorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art das Verbindungselement durch einen Faltenbalg gebildet ist und dass die seitliche Stabilität des Faltenbalgs hinreichend groß ist, um ein relativ zur Größe des Faltenbalgs passendes Mikrofon tragen zu können. Der Faltenbalg erfüllt bei geeigneter Wahl des Kunststoffes die Forderungen nach einer hinreichend großen seitlichen Stabilität, um ein relativ zur Größe des Faltenbalges passendes Mikrofon tragen zu können. Durch den Faltenbalg lässt sich eine hinreichend niedrige Resonanzfrequenz bei gleichzeitig großer Dämpfung realisieren.This object is achieved in that in the holding device of the type mentioned, the connecting element is formed by a bellows and that the lateral stability of the bellows is sufficiently large in order to wear a microphone suitable for the size of the bellows suitable. With a suitable choice of the plastic, the bellows meets the requirements for a sufficiently high lateral stability in order to be able to carry a microphone which fits in relation to the size of the bellows. Due to the bellows, a sufficiently low resonance frequency can be achieved with simultaneous high damping.

Die Vorteile der Erfindung liegen somit insbesondere darin, daß die Haltevorrichtung und das Mikrofon kleine Abmessungen aufweisen können und eine große Körperschallentkopplung erzielt wird. Der Nutzen der Verwendung eines Miniaturmikrofons oder einer Mikrofonkapsel - nämlich deren geringe geometrische Abmessungen und die kompakte Bauweise - kommen durch die erfindungsgemäße Haltevorrichtung voll zur Geltung und werden nicht durch eine aufwendige und voluminöse Lagerung des Mikrofons zunichte gemacht. Darüberhinaus läßt sich die erfindungsgemäße Haltevorrichtung durch ihren einfachen Aufbau leicht realisieren und wirtschaftlich fertigen.The advantages of the invention are thus in particular that the holding device and the microphone can have small dimensions and a large body sound decoupling is achieved. The benefits of using a miniature microphone or a microphone capsule - namely their small geometric dimensions and the compact design - come through the holding device of the invention to full advantage and are not nullified by a complex and voluminous storage of the microphone. Moreover, the holding device according to the invention can be easily realized by their simple structure and manufacture economically.

Die erfinderische Idee läßt sich auf Haltevorrichtungen für Mikrofone unterschiedlicher Größe und Eigenschaften übertragen. Insbesondere dient die Haltevorrichtung zum Halten eines Miniaturmikrofons oder einer Mikrofonkapsel, bei denen es besonders auf eine geringe Baugröße ankommt. Im folgenden wird nur noch der Begriff "Mikrofon" verwandt. Dies ist nicht als Einschränkung zu verstehen.The inventive idea can be transferred to holding devices for microphones of different sizes and properties. In particular, the holding device is used to hold a miniature microphone or a microphone capsule, which is particularly important for a small size. In the following, only the term "microphone" will be used. This is not meant to be limiting.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Haltevorrichtung, bei der ein Gehäuse das mit der Haltevorrichtung verbundene Mikrofon zumindest teilweise umgibt, ist das Verbindungselement zwischen dem Gehäuse und den Haltemitteln angeordnet. Das Gehäuse liegt im wesentlichen direkt am Mikrofon an und dient in erster Linie als mechanischer Schutz für das Mikrofon. Da das Verbindungselement aus flexiblem Material zwischen dem Gehäuse und den Haltemitteln vorgesehen ist, kann auf eine federnde Lagerung zwischen dem Mikrofon und dem Gehäuse verzichtet werden, so daß es vorteilhaft zu keiner Vergrößerung der Abmessungen der Haltevorichtung kommt.In a preferred embodiment of the holding device, in which a housing at least partially surrounds the microphone connected to the holding device, the connecting element is arranged between the housing and the holding means. The housing is located substantially directly on the microphone and serves primarily as a mechanical protection for the microphone. Since the connecting element of flexible material is provided between the housing and the holding means, can be dispensed with a resilient mounting between the microphone and the housing be, so that it comes advantageous to no increase in the dimensions of the Haltevorichtung.

Besonders bevorzugt ist bei der Haltevorrichtung das Verbindungselement mit den Haltemitteln und mit dem Mikrofon bzw. mit dem Gehäuse fest verbunden. Dadurch erlangt man ein einzeln handhabbares Mikrofon mit Haltemitteln, welches mit geringem Aufwand an ein Musikinstrument oder an die Kleidung eines Sprechers oder Sängers angebracht werden kann. Die Verbindungen zwischen dem Mikrofon, dem Verbindungselement und den Haltemitteln können form- oder kraftschlüssig ausgebildet sein. In einer zweckmäßigen Weiterbildung sind die Verbindungen geklebt, da es sich dabei um eine besonders platzsparende Art einer mechanischen Kopplung handelt.Particularly preferably, in the holding device, the connecting element with the holding means and with the microphone or with the housing firmly connected. As a result, one obtains an individually manageable microphone with holding means, which can be attached with little effort to a musical instrument or to the clothing of a speaker or singer. The connections between the microphone, the connecting element and the holding means may be formed positively or non-positively. In an expedient development, the compounds are glued, since this is a particularly space-saving type of mechanical coupling.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Haltevorrichtung umfassen die Haltemittel einen Tragarm, mit dem das Mikrofon relativ zu dem Körper, wie beispielsweise einem Musikinstrument, ausgerichtet werden kann, um eine optimale Qualität eines aufgenommenen Signals zu erreichen. Die erfindungsgemäße Haltevorrichtung läßt sich durch die Möglichkeit einer flexiblen Ausrichtung der Position des Mikrofons einfach und schnell an unterschiedliche Musikinstrumente oder andere Einsatzorte anpassen. In einer zweckmäßigen Weiterbildung ist der Tragarm als ein Schwanenhals ausgeführt, da dieser die Forderungen nach einer schnellen Einstellbarkeit bei hoher Formstabilität erfüllt.In a preferred embodiment of the holding device, the holding means comprise a support arm with which the microphone can be aligned relative to the body, such as a musical instrument, in order to achieve optimum quality of a recorded signal. The holding device according to the invention can be easily and quickly adapted to different musical instruments or other locations by the possibility of flexible alignment of the position of the microphone. In an expedient development of the support arm is designed as a gooseneck, as it meets the requirements for a quick adjustability with high dimensional stability.

Besonders bevorzugt umfassen die Haltemittel der Haltevorrichtung ein Befestigungsorgan zum lösbaren Befestigen des Mikrofons an dem Körper, um die Haltevorrichtung alternativ an verschiedenen Körpern befestigen zu können. Als Befestigungsorgan lassen sich verschiedene Klemmvorrichtungen einsetzen, die einen Abschnitt des Körpers umgreifen und einklemmen.Particularly preferably, the holding means of the holding device comprise a fastening member for releasably securing the microphone to the body, in order to fix the holding device alternatively to different bodies. As a fastener, various clamping devices can be used which engage around and pinch a portion of the body.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Haltevorrichtung weisen das Verbindungselement und der Tragarm jeweils eine Durchführung für mindestens eine Signalleitung und/oder Versorgungsleitung auf, damit die Leitungen innenliegend zu einem vorgesehenen Auslaß oder Anschluß geführt werden können. Zusätzlich bietet die innenliegende Führung den Leitungen, die in der Praxis häufig extrem dünn sind, einen zusätzlichen mechanischen Schutz.In a preferred embodiment of the holding device, the connecting element and the support arm in each case have a passage for at least one signal line and / or supply line, so that the lines can be guided on the inside to a designated outlet or connection. additionally The internal guide offers additional mechanical protection to the cables, which are often extremely thin in practice.
