Abstract:
A microphone boot system for reducing acoustic echo effect comprising:a first compression structure;a first member of a microphone boot juxtaposed against the first compressive structure;a second member of the microphone boot completely, acoustically sealingly pressing against the first member of the microphone boot at an interface therebetween;a microphone interposed within a cavity formed by the first member of the microphone boot and the second member of the microphone boot, the interface encircling the microphone;a second compression structure juxtaposed against the second member of the microphone boot, the first compression structure and the second compression structure acting in concert to cause said completely acoustically sealingly pressing and to thereby form an acoustic seal all along the interface; andan electrical conductor coupled to said microphone, and being acoustically sealingly interposed between said first member of said microphone boot and said second member of said microphone boot at said interface.
