Abstract: This paper describes a miniature microphone that has been reduced in size so that an extremely uniform frequency response is obtained from all angles of pickup. Although it is very small its output level is high. Because it is so small, it can be used in many applications not possible with larger and heavier microphones. Uses of the microphone in motion picture sound recording indicate a different placement and pickup technique can be used. Having simple parts, its uniformity of production can be extremely high. A description of different models is given along with suggested methods of using the microphone.
