POROUS SOLID WIND SCREEN FOR MICROPHONE

摘要

A porous solid windscreen (60) formed of metal, plastic or the like covers the microphone (49) without the need for the familiar large foam ball of material over the microphone (49). In a disclosed embodiment, the windscreen (60) is a monolithic structure formed by sintering the material so as to produce a relatively consistent and desired sized pore structure. The wind screen (60) is preferably sintered while in a mold, thereby allowing it to be formed in a variety of form factors including substantially arcuate structures or non-symmetrical structures and the like to accommodate desired aesthetic and/or acoustic needs.
