To the rear of the diaphragm producing electrical currents which are depend- J0. and within the chamber formed by the magent on and vary as the waves of sound and, more netic structure is located a member I3 arranged particularly, to readily portable microphones or to form awinding passageway or labyrinth. This 5 sound pick-up devices which are responsiveto the passageway-opens at the rear of the diaphragm pressure of a sound wave. r and may be loaded with felt filling ll or tu'fts of A microphone responsive to both the velocity felt for rendering theimpedancepresented to the component and the pressure-of a. sound wavevis diaphragm independent offfrequency. It will be disclosed in United States-Patent No.- 1,892,645 noted that the diaphragm I0 is suspended beand-myself. In accordance with this patent, the and lower ends of the passageway.
