Description

  The present invention relates to a condenser microphone, and more particularly to an output transformer used in a condenser microphone.

  The condenser microphone includes an electrostatic microphone unit in which a diaphragm and a fixed pole are arranged to face each other, and an impedance converter is built in because the impedance of the microphone unit is high. In most cases, an FET (field effect transistor) is used for the impedance converter, but a vacuum tube is rarely used.

  Further, in order to satisfy the performance and function as a microphone, a microphone circuit unit including an output circuit and a low cut circuit, an output transformer, an output connector, and the like are built in the microphone.

  Normally, a condenser microphone is used connected to a phantom power supply via a microphone cable (balanced shielded cable), and a polarized power supply is fed from the phantom power supply, and a microphone output (audio signal) is output to the phantom power supply side. The

  For example, in a recording studio, a microphone cable is extended for use. When electromagnetic waves are applied to the microphone cable, a high-frequency current flows into the microphone from the output connector side of the microphone through the cable.

  Then, the high-frequency current is detected by an FET or the like, and noise due to the detection may be mixed with the audio output. Mobile phones that have been rapidly spread in recent years are considerably strong electromagnetic waves when used (for example, within a range of several centimeters to several tens of centimeters, reaching tens of thousands of electric field strength generated in the city by commercial power sources. (Electric field strength) is radiated, and the problem due to electromagnetic waves is increasing.

  As countermeasures against electromagnetic waves, it is effective to prevent the high-frequency current from entering the microphone at the output connector portion. Therefore, the present applicant attaches a shield plate to the output connector in Patent Document 1 and performs electrostatic shielding. Propose that.

  Normally, the condenser microphone uses a 3-pin (ground pin, signal hot pin and cold pin) type output connector defined by EIAJ RC-5236 “Latch Lock Round Connector for Audio Equipment”. Yes.

  Of these, the ground pin is connected to the ground (shield housing), so there is no risk of high-frequency current entering from the ground pin. However, an inductor (high-frequency choke coil) is connected to the signal pin (signal system) for high-frequency current. It is necessary to prevent the current from entering.

  However, a high-frequency leakage magnetic field generated from the inductor induces a high-frequency current in a microphone circuit unit such as an output circuit or a low-cut circuit built in the microphone, which may cause noise.

  In order to prevent this, a magnetic shielding member such as an electromagnetic wave absorbing member may be provided between the inductor and the microphone circuit unit. However, providing a separate magnetic shielding member requires a design change, and This is not preferable in terms of cost.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a high-frequency magnetic circuit between an inductor (high-frequency choke coil) provided on a signal pin (signal system) of an output connector and a microphone circuit unit in a condenser microphone without using a separate magnetic shielding member. It is to shield.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention is accommodated in an electrostatic microphone unit and at least a microphone circuit unit, an output transformer, and an output connector in a shield case in a state of being electrically connected via predetermined wiring. In the condenser microphone in which the microphone unit is electrically connected to the microphone circuit unit, the soft resin powder is contained in the synthetic resin bobbin around which the coil wire in the output transformer is wound. It is characterized by being.

  In the present invention, the output transformer is disposed between a high-frequency choke coil provided in a signal system of the output connector and the microphone circuit unit.

  According to the present invention, the soft wire is included in the bobbin for winding the coil wire of the output transformer, and the bobbin itself has an electromagnetic wave absorbing function of high-frequency magnetic shielding. Therefore, an inductor (high-frequency choke coil) and a microphone circuit provided on a signal pin (signal system) of the output connector can be obtained simply by arranging the output transformer between the high-frequency choke coil provided in the signal system of the output connector and the microphone circuit unit. The part can be magnetically shielded at high frequency.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, but the present invention is not limited to this. 1A is a transverse sectional view showing the internal structure of the condenser microphone according to the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1B is a longitudinal sectional view thereof, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of an output transformer provided in the condenser microphone. is there.

  First, referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, the condenser microphone 1 has, as a basic configuration, an electrostatic microphone unit 10 that converts a sound wave into an electrical sound signal, and a microphone unit 10. And a power module unit (audio signal output unit) 20 connected to the output side.

  The microphone unit 10 has a unit case 11 made of metal such as brass, and the unit case 11 is provided with a front acoustic terminal hole 11a and a rear acoustic terminal hole 11b for obtaining unidirectionality.

  In the unit case 11, an acoustoelectric conversion unit 12 including a diaphragm and a fixed pole is accommodated in a state supported by a base 13 made of synthetic resin. An electrode rod 13 a connected to the fixed pole is drawn out from the center of the base 13.

  The power module unit 20 includes a shield case 21 made of metal such as brass. First and second connectors 22 and 26 are provided at both ends of the shield case 21, and a circuit board 23 is supported between the connectors 22 and 26.

  The electrode rod 13 a is connected to the first connector 22. The second connector 26 is a 3-pin type output connector defined by EIAJ RC-5236 “Latch Lock Type Round Connector for Acoustic Equipment” (hereinafter, the second connector is referred to as an output connector). The output connector 26 is connected to a phantom power source (both not shown) via a balanced shield cable.

  A microphone circuit unit 24 and an output transformer 25 are mounted on the circuit board 23. Although not shown in detail, the microphone circuit unit 24 includes an FET as an impedance converter, an output circuit, a low cut circuit, and the like.

  The output transformer 25 is connected to a hot-side pin (No. 2 pin) and a cold-side pin (No. 3 pin) of the signal of the output connector 26 and supplies power from the phantom power source to the microphone unit 10. The audio signal from the microphone circuit unit 24 is given to the second and third pins of the output connector 26 via the output transformer 25.

  In order to prevent high-frequency current due to external electromagnetic waves from entering the power module unit 20 from the output connector 26, a protection circuit 27 is attached to the output connector 26. The protection circuit 27 includes a harmonic choke coil (inductor) 27a connected to the second and third pins of the output connector 26, but may also include a capacitor, a Zener diode, and the like.

  When a high-frequency leakage magnetic field is generated from the harmonic choke coil 27a, a high-frequency current may be induced in the microphone circuit unit 24 due to magnetic coupling. Therefore, the microphone circuit unit 24 and the harmonic choke coil 27a are magnetically shielded at high frequencies. There is a need.

In the example of FIG. 2, a pre-molded bobbin 253 is fitted into the magnetic core body 251, but it may be formed integrally with the magnetic core body 251 in an insert molding die.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the soft magnetic powder is included in the bobbin 253 of the output transformer 25, so that the microphone circuit unit 24 and the harmonics are not required without a separate magnetic shielding member such as a magnetic shielding plate. The choke coil 27a can be magnetically shielded with high frequency.

  In the above embodiment, the microphone unit 10 and the power module unit 20 are integrally connected. However, the microphone unit 10 and the power module unit 20 are separated from each other like a gooseneck type microphone or a tie pin type microphone. They may be configured and connected via a microphone cord.
