Abstract:
The voice recorder includes a right-and-left pair of microphones. Each microphone is fixed to a holder that is rotatable about a rotation axis, and a sound-collection axis of each microphone is tilted to the rotation axis. Turning each holder by 180 degrees allows each microphone to change over between an inward position where the sound-collecting axes SAX of the microphones intersect and an outward position where the sound-collecting axes do not intersect. Each microphone is placed offset from the rotation axis on each holder in such a direction that the sound-collecting axes are spaced apart from each other in a height-direction (Z-direction) while the microphones are in the inward position.

Claim (Index 1):
A voice recorder comprising:\n a body section; a pair of right and left microphones, each having a diaphragm to collect voices, wherein a sound-collecting axis perpendicular to the diaphragm extends in an axial direction of each of the microphones; and two holders placed side by side on the body section, the holders being capable of turning on respective rotation axes which are parallel to each other, the holders holding the microphones respectively with each sound-collecting axis tilted from the rotation axis, to change the microphones between an inward position in which the sound-collecting axes intersect each other and an outward position in which the sound-collecting axes do not intersect, by turning the microphones 180 degrees from the inward position to the outward position, wherein the microphones are placed offset from the respective rotation axes on the holders such that, in the inward position, the sound-collecting axes are spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction parallel to a vertical plane which is perpendicular to both of the parallel rotation axes.
