Free standing wireless microphone with weighted base

摘要

A wireless podium microphone ( 1 ) incorporates a body pack transmitter ( 26 ). The microphone ( 1 ) includes a microphone element ( 6 ) that is interconnected to a weighted base ( 2 ) by a deformable neck ( 3 ). The base ( 2 ) includes a first cavity ( 10 ) for housing electrical components associated with the operation of the microphone element ( 6 ) and a second cavity ( 21 ) in which the transmitter ( 25 ) may be securely mounted. A keyway ( 31 ) receives and constrains a button ( 30 ) that is affixed to the transmitter housing ( 27 ). Parallel guides ( 36, 37 ) are formed within the second cavity ( 21 ) and prevent lateral movement of the transmitter ( 26 ). An antenna guide ( 43 ) is mounted to the base ( 2 ) and permits the transmitter antenna ( 28 ) to be oriented to the desired antenna polarization.
