However, the above-mentioned composite type micron has a problem in that pressure properties cannot be obtained. In other words, the pressure microphone unit 1 has a frequency characteristic as shown in Fig. 2 due to the resonant frequency of its diaphragm, and the phase is constant up to the vicinity of the resonant frequency of the diaphragm, but above the resonant frequency. The phase is different, 13~14KHz
Nearby, the 0° frontal direction was approximately 6 dB higher than the 90° direction. Due to the diffraction effect of the pressure type microphone unit 1, the frequency characteristics upon synthesis were such that a unidirectional characteristic could not be obtained in the high and low frequencies, as shown in FIG.
