Abstract

A cellular polypropylene film metallized with gold electrodes is directly glued to the back plate of a commercially available condenser microphone cartridge whose metallic diaphragm is removed, composed of a microphone set with an existing pre-amplifier and power module. Lack of vibration resonance of the diaphragm makes it possible to widen frequency ranges in pressure sensitivity compared with those of commonly used condenser microphones. In fact, it has been experimentally verified that the prototyped microphone has good response to sound waves over the extremely wide range of frequencies from 200 Hz to 400 kHz and is highly acceptable to intense sound pressures of up to several tens of kilo-pascals.
