Abstract: Communication unit comprising a housing in which at least one transducer is placed, and on which a microphone arm is suspended. The housing also has means, such as an ear hook, for fastening the communication unit to the head of a user. The microphone arm is pivotally connected to the housing by a hinge link, and at an outer area of the housing, so that the microphone arm can be moved between a first position in which it lies up against the housing, and a second position in which it extends away from the housing. The microphone arm has a length, which in the main is less than or of the same order as the greatest extent of the housing, so that in the folded-in state the microphone arm does not project out over the circumference of the housing. The communication unit can be used on both the right and the left side of the head, in that the ear hook (6) can be suspended in two different positions, corresponding to the communication unit being worn on the right or the left ear, respectively.

Abstract: A microphone array for providing a focused field of optimum audio reception is disclosed. The array has a series of interconnected microphones spaced within a housing. At a midpoint of the spaced microphones is an illuminated polarized centering marker which gives the user a visual signal that the user is located within the optimum filed of audio reception. The housing can be placed on the top front edge of video monitor and has slideably mounted removable feet, which allow the microphones to be aimed more accurately at the user. The array is foldable along a midpoint, which allow for compact storage. The folding mechanism is a hinge, which has a hollow core, and openings which allow the internal wiring to interconnect two wings of the array without exposing the wires. The wings are held in their longitudinally oriented position by a latching mechanism of pins in one wing which snap fit into capture boots within the other wing. Microphones are maintained in sound deadening pods, which absorb side and rear audio signals and provide rear pressure relief.

Abstract translation: 通信单元包括其中放置至少一个换能器并且麦克风臂悬挂在其上的壳体。 壳体还具有用于将通信单元紧固到用户头部的装置，例如耳钩。 麦克风臂通过铰链连接件枢转地连接到壳体，并且在壳体的外部区域处，使得麦克风臂可以在第一位置和第二位置之间移动，在第一位置和第二位置之间， 它远离壳体。 麦克风臂具有长度，其主要小于或与壳体的最大程度相同的顺序，使得在折叠状态下，麦克风臂不会突出到壳体的圆周上。 通信单元可以在头部的右侧和左侧使用，因为耳钩（6）可以分别悬挂在两个不同的位置，对应于分别穿在右耳或左耳的通信单元 。
