Microphone positioning system

摘要

A microphone positioning system includes a microphone, a selectively operable turntable device to which the microphone is mounted, and a remote control device for selectively imparting rotation to the turntable device to selectively vary the angle of the microphone. The elevation of the microphone can also be varied, such as by means of an extendable and retractable support. The turntable device may be interconnected with an axially extending rail and is movable to varying positions along the rail such as by means of a carrier. A drive arrangement is interconnected between the rail and the carrier for moving the carrier along the length of the rail, and the drive arrangement is operable in response to the remote control device.

1. A microphone positioning system for use within an area, comprising:
a microphone positioned in a first location within the area and supported by a microphone support; a selectively operable rotatable device associated with the microphone support; and a manually operable remote control device positioned in a second location within the area that is spaced from the first location, wherein the manually operable remote control device is interconnected with the selectively operable rotatable device, and wherein the manually operable remote control device is responsive to manual operation by a user for selectively imparting rotation to the selectively operable rotatable device in response to manual inputs from the user to selectively vary the angle of the microphone, and wherein the microphone at the first location picks up sounds and, from the second location, the remote control device varies the angle of the microphone to vary the sounds picked up by the microphone at the first location.
