Traditional microphone units suffer from the drawback of water-ingress due to holes in the microphone body for collecting sound. Hosiden has developed a IPX9K supported, completely waterproof microphone unit with no open holes, and which realizes acoustic characteristics comparable to the best conventional microphone units.
Being totally waterproof, the microphone unit can be placed outdoors. When it is mounted outside the passenger compartment, its full waterproof performance is assured even if the vehicle is washed using a high pressure washer. Incorporation of this microphone unit in not only outdoor equipment but also in sound recognition duties allows a wide range of applications.
