[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the configurations described in the following embodiments are merely examples, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the configurations described in the embodiments. For example, each part constituting the present invention can be replaced with any configuration that can exert the same function. In addition, any configuration may be added.

[0010] FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a sound recording device set and an imaging device. As shown in FIG. 1, the sound recording device set 10 has a wireless microphone 100 as a sound recording device (electronic device) and a windshield accessory (windshield unit) 200 that is detachably attached to the wireless microphone 100. The wireless microphone 100 is used by attaching it to, for example, a pocket of a garment when recording. When the windshield accessory 200 is attached to the wireless microphone 100, it can reduce wind noise during recording. Hereinafter, the state in which the windshield accessory 200 is attached to the wireless microphone 100 may be referred to as a "windshield attached state." The sound recording device set 10 and the imaging device 600 constitute an imaging system 1000. The imaging device 600 has a camera (imaging device main body) 400, a photographing lens 500 that is detachably attached to the camera 400, and a receiver 300 that is detachably attached to the camera 400. When the receiver 300 is attached to the camera 400, it can wirelessly communicate with the wireless microphone 100.

[0011] The wireless microphone 100 has therein a wireless module 114 and a microphone element 115 (see Figs. 3(a) and 3(b)). The microphone element 115 is a microphone for recording sound, and can collect the voice of a user using the wireless microphone 100. The sound collection direction of the microphone element 115 is the Z direction in this embodiment. The receiver 300 has a wireless module (not shown) that performs wireless communication with the wireless microphone 100. This allows the receiver 300 to receive an audio signal obtained by collecting sound with the microphone element 115. This audio signal is transmitted to the camera 400. The camera 400 can then combine the audio signal with image data of an image of a subject obtained through the photographing lens 500, and store it as video data.

[0012] FIG. 2 is an external perspective view of the sound recording device set. FIG. 2(a) is a front perspective view of the wireless microphone 100 with the windshield attached. FIG. 2(b) is a rear perspective view of the wireless microphone 100 with the windshield attached. FIG. 2(c) is a rear perspective view of the wireless microphone 100 with the windshield part 201 removed from the windshield accessory 200. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the wireless microphone (sound recording device set). FIG. 3(a) is a cross-sectional view of the wireless microphone 100 when the center part is cut along the YZ plane. FIG. 3(b) is a cross-sectional view of the wireless microphone 100 when the vicinity of the shaft part 117 is cut along the XY plane. As shown in FIG. 2(a), the wireless microphone 100 has a top cover 101, a middle cover 102, and a bottom cover 103, and a housing is formed by assembling these members together and fixing them with an external screw 110. For example, a wireless module 114, a microphone element 115, etc. are stored in this housing. 3(a), cushion members 119 are sandwiched in the respective fitting portions between the top cover 101 and the middle cover 102, and between the middle cover 102 and the bottom cover 103. This enhances waterproofing and also suppresses creaking noises at the fitting portions.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 2(a), the top cover 101 is provided with a power LED notification window 107 and a wireless LED notification window 108. The power LED notification window 107 functions as an indicator showing the remaining charge and charging state of the built-in battery 116. The wireless LED notification window 108 functions as an indicator showing the wireless communication state, the mute state and the firmware update state of the wireless microphone 100, etc. The wireless LED notification window 108 changes the lighting and blinking cycle. The middle cover 102 is provided with an operation button 105. By operating the operation button 105, the power can be turned on / off and the mute state can be turned on / off. The operation button 105 is made of an elastic material such as rubber, and is in close contact with the middle cover 102. This can improve the waterproofing between the operation button 105 and the middle cover 102, and can suppress the sound generated when the operation button 105 is operated. The middle cover 102 is provided with a jack terminal 106. In this embodiment, a φ3.5 mm mini plug (not shown) of a lavalier microphone is detachably connected to jack terminal 106. By connecting a lavalier microphone, sound can be collected from the lavalier microphone. In this case, sound collection from microphone element 115 is stopped, that is, the sound collection destination is switched from microphone element 115 to the lavalier microphone.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 2(b), the bottom cover 103 is provided with a clip (clip member) 109 that constitutes a part of the clip mechanism. The clip mechanism is used when attaching (mounting) the wireless microphone 100 to the clothing of the subject to be recorded. As shown in FIG. 3(a), the clip 109 is supported rotatably around an axis (rotation axis) 117 with respect to the bottom cover 103 (base), and is biased in one direction around the axis 117 by a torsion coil spring 118. This allows the clip 109 to clamp a breast pocket (part of the clothing) of the subject's clothing between the clip 109 and the bottom cover 103. This clamping allows the wireless microphone 100 to be attached to the subject's clothing. The clip 109 has a non-slip part 109b that is provided in a part that contacts the clothing and prevents slipping between the clip 109 and the clothing. The clip 109 also has a clip operation part (operation part) 109a that is pressed when rotating the clip 109, on the part opposite the non-slip part 109b via the axis 117. By pressing the clip operation unit 109a against the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 118, the non-slip portion 109b side opens, that is, the non-slip portion 109b moves away from the bottom cover 103. This allows a part of the clothes to be inserted between the non-slip portion 109b and the bottom cover 103. Then, by releasing the pressing force on the clip operation unit 109a from this state, a part of the clothes can be sandwiched between the non-slip portion 109b and the bottom cover 103. In this sandwiched state, the non-slip portion 109b prevents slippage between the clothes, and thus the positional deviation of the wireless microphone 100 can be prevented. In this embodiment, the clip 109 is connected to the bottom cover 103 via the shaft portion 117, but this is not limited thereto. For example, the clip 109 may be connected to a base other than the bottom cover 103 via the shaft portion 117.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 2(b), the middle cover 102 is provided with a terminal cover 111 that can be opened and closed. The terminal cover 111 is a cover that protects, for example, an access lamp window 123 that indicates that writing to a memory card is in progress from sand, dust, water droplets, and the like. The terminal cover 111 can also protect a charging terminal (not shown) electrically connected to the built-in battery 116, a memory card slot (not shown) for backing up audio when the wireless connection with the receiver 300 is interrupted during recording, and the like from sand, dust, water droplets, and the like. As shown in FIG. 2(c), the middle cover 102 is provided with a recording button 112, a reset button 113, and a seal member 104. By operating the recording button 112, the recording start and stop operation of the camera 400 can be performed remotely. The recording start and stop operation of the camera 400 can be performed by operating an operation button of the camera 400 in addition to remote operation by the recording button 112. For example, if the wireless microphone 100 hangs up due to an unexpected abnormal state, the operation can be reset by operating the reset button 113. In this way, the operation of the reset button 113 is generally used relatively infrequently. Therefore, the reset button 113 is configured to be operated by inserting a pin-shaped object to prevent careless operation. The seal member 104 is a seal for displaying various regulations. The constituent materials of the seal member 104 do not include metal materials. This makes it possible to prevent metal materials from interfering with wireless communication. In addition, an antenna FPC 124 for wireless communication (see, for example, FIG. 6(a)) is arranged on the inside of the surface of the seal member 104 that is attached to the middle cover 102.

[0016] FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the wireless microphone. FIG. 4(a) is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which the attachment (main body) 202 of the windshield accessory 200 is removed from the wireless microphone 100. FIG. 4(b) is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which the attachment (main body) 202 of the windshield accessory 200 is disassembled into each unit of the top cover unit 120, the middle cover unit 121, and the bottom cover unit 122 from the state shown in FIG. 4(a). As shown in FIG. 4(a), the attachment 202 has a cylindrical tubular portion 202i, two finger hooks 202c arranged via the cylindrical portion 202i, a connecting portion 202j connecting the finger hooks 202c, and an inserting portion 202b provided on each finger hook 202c. The bottom cover 103 has an attachment mounting portion (mounting recess) 103a provided on the same side as the clip 109 (clip mechanism) and configured as a recess into which the inserting portion 202b (part of the windshield accessory 200) fits.

[0017] When the windshield accessory 200 (attachment 202) is attached to the wireless microphone 100, the insertion portion 202b of the attachment 202 is inserted into and fitted into the attachment mounting portion 103a of the bottom cover 103. This brings the windshield accessory 200 into a state where it is attached to the wireless microphone 100 (windshield-attached state). When removing the windshield accessory 200 in the windshield-attached state from the wireless microphone 100, the finger hook portions 202c of the attachment 202 are pulled in the -Y direction while fingers are hooked on the finger hook portions 202c. This causes the insertion portion 202b to be removed from the attachment mounting portion 103a, and the attachment 202 is removed from the wireless microphone 100. In this way, the attachment mounting portion 103a serves as a mounting portion for removably mounting the windshield accessory 200. Moreover, a bag-shaped windshield unit 201 is removably attached to one end (the end in the +Z direction) of the cylindrical unit 202i. With the windshield attached, the central axis of the cylindrical unit 202i is arranged in the sound collection direction of the microphone element 115, i.e., parallel to the Z direction. This allows the windshield unit 201 on the cylindrical unit 202i to be positioned in the sound collection direction of the microphone element 115, and therefore wind noise during recording can be sufficiently reduced.

[0018] At the rear side (+Y direction) of the attachment mounting portion 103a, a screw mounting portion 103b is provided, which is smaller in diameter than the inner diameter of the attachment mounting portion 103a and into which the external screw 110 is inserted. The top cover unit 120, the middle cover unit 121, and the bottom cover unit 122 are fastened to each other via the external screw 110, that is, assembled using the external screw 110. Thus, in this embodiment, the attachment mounting portion 103a and the screw mounting portion 103b are arranged coaxially and form a stepped structure with different inner diameters. This allows the portion where the attachment 202 is attached and the portion where the units are fastened to each other to be arranged in a space-saving manner, and therefore the wireless microphone 100 can be made smaller in size.

[0019] The attachment mounting parts 103a are arranged on both sides of the microphone element 115 when viewed from the mounting / detaching direction of the windshield accessory 200, i.e., the Y direction. This makes it possible to stably maintain the windshield attachment state, and therefore to prevent the windshield accessory 200 from shifting its position or falling off unintentionally when in the windshield attachment state. The wireless microphone 100 in the windshield attachment state is used by being attached to, for example, a pocket of clothing. In this case, the clothing faces the detachment direction (-Y direction) of the windshield accessory 200. This makes it possible to prevent the windshield accessory 200 from coming off the wireless microphone 100 by the clothing.

[0020] The connecting portion 202j of the attachment 202 has a recess 202d that is provided with respect to the clip operation portion 109a when the windshield is attached and is recessed in the pressing direction of the clip operation portion 109a. This recess 202d prevents the attachment 202 from interfering with the pressing operation of the clip operation portion 109a even when the windshield is attached, and therefore the pressing operation can be performed smoothly. The attachment 202 is made of an elastic material such as various thermoplastic elastomers. This prevents the attachment 202 from being damaged when a load is applied, and suppresses contact noise at the boundary with the housing of the wireless microphone 100, for example.

[0021] Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the top cover unit. Fig. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the middle cover unit. Fig. 6(a) is an exploded perspective view of the middle cover unit up to the circuit components. Fig. 6(b) is an exploded perspective view of the middle cover unit up to the mechanical components. Fig. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the bottom cover unit.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 5, the top cover unit 120 has a top cover 101, a power LED notification window 107, a wireless LED notification window 108, and a cushion member 119. The top cover 101 is made of a plate-shaped member. The power LED notification window 107 and the wireless LED notification window 108 are arranged side by side in the X direction on the edge of the top cover 101. The power LED notification window 107 and the wireless LED notification window 108 are made of a transparent member and are fixed by welding, for example. The cushion member 119 is sheet-shaped and is fixed to the back surface of the top cover 101 by, for example, double-sided tape.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 6(a), the middle cover unit 121 includes a middle cover 102, an antenna FPC 124, a main board 125, an LED_FPC 127, a jack FPC 128, and an internal battery 116. The middle cover 102 is a frame-shaped member. The antenna FPC 124, the LED_FPC 127, and the jack FPC 128 are connected to the main board 125. The main board 125 is also electrically connected to a lead wire 139 extending from the microphone element 115. The antenna FPC 124 is fixed to the middle cover 102 together with the main board 125 by a screw 126. The LED_FPC 127 is electrically connected to a connector 125a of the main board 125. Ends of the antenna FPC 124 and the LED_FPC 127 are fixed to the middle cover 102 by a double-sided tape 129 (see FIG. 6(b)). The jack FPC 128 is fixed to the middle cover 102 with screws 126, and is electrically connected to a connector 125b of the main board 125. The built-in battery 116 is inserted into the middle subunit 121a from the -Y direction, and is electrically connected to the main board 125 by a terminal (not shown). The built-in battery 116 supplies power to the wireless microphone 100.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 6(b), the middle cover unit 121 has a middle subunit 121a. A main board 125 is attached to the middle subunit 121a by screws 126. The middle subunit 121a is configured so that each mechanism component can be attached to the middle cover 102. The middle subunit 121a has an operation button 105, a record button 112, an access lamp window 123, a bushing rubber 130, a microphone sheet 131, a microphone plate 132, a GND plate 133, and a microphone cushion 134. The middle subunit 121a also has a record button rubber 135, a record button index 136, a light-shielding cushion 137, and a terminal cover 111. The microphone sheet 131 is a laminated sheet made up of a punching sheet, a water-repellent sheet, and double-sided tape.

[0025] The microphone sheet 131 is attached to the sound collection hole 102a of the middle cover 102. The microphone plate 132 is fixed to the double-sided tape of the microphone sheet 131. The microphone element 115 is incorporated in the bushing rubber 130. This bushing rubber 130 urges the microphone sheet 131 toward the GND plate 133. This causes the microphone sheet 131 to be pressed against the GND plate 133. A microphone cushion 134 is incorporated in a compressed state in the space in front of the microphone element 115 (Z direction) inside the space partitioned by the microphone plate 132 and the bushing rubber 130. The microphone cushion 134 is a member that suppresses wind noise during sound collection. The GND plate 133 is electrically connected to the main board 125 by being fastened together with the main board 125 by a screw 126. The GND plate 133 is also fastened together with the microphone plate 132 to the top cover 101 and the bottom cover 103 by external screws 110, and is thereby electrically connected to these covers.

[0026] The operation button 105 is made of an elastic material such as rubber, and is fitted into the operation button hole 102b of the middle cover 102. The operation button 105 can perform various operations depending on the contact time by contacting the circuit pattern exposed portion of the LED_FPC 127 with a conductive tip (not shown). A record button indicator 136 indicating the record function is built into the record button 112. The record button 112 is biased by a record button rubber 135. When the record button 112 is operated, the operation is performed against the biasing force of the record button rubber 135. In addition, the record button 112 can start or stop recording depending on the contact time by contacting the circuit pattern exposed portion of the jack FPC 128 with a conductive tip (not shown). A part of the record button rubber 135 faces the reset button 113. Then, for example, by using a pin-shaped member to push the reset button 113 against the biasing force of the record button rubber 135, the reset button 113 contacts the circuit pattern exposed portion of the jack FPC 128 with a conductive tip (not shown) in the same manner as the record button 112. This allows the reset operation to be performed. The access lamp window 123 can guide light from an LED provided on the main board 125. This allows the user to know whether writing to a memory card (not shown) is being performed. The light-shielding cushion 137 is attached to the middle cover 102. The light-shielding cushion 137 can prevent light from being guided from anywhere other than the access lamp window 123, and can prevent light from leaking to the outside. The terminal cover 111 is maintained in a closed state by inserting the protrusion 111a into the hole 102c of the middle cover 102.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 7, the bottom cover unit 122 has the bottom cover 103, a cushion member 119, a battery cushion 138, and a clip mechanism including a clip 109, an axis portion 117, and a torsion coil spring 118. The cushion member 119 and the battery cushion 138 are attached to the rear surface of the bottom cover 103. The clip 109, the axis portion 117, and the torsion coil spring 118 are attached to the front surface of the bottom cover 103. The battery cushion 138 biases the built-in battery 116 to prevent the built-in battery 116 from being displaced. This prevents the built-in battery 116 from vibrating inside the housing and noise caused by the vibration from being collected by the microphone element 115. The clip 109 is rotatably supported by the bottom cover 103 via the axis portion 117. The axis portion 117 passes through the clip 109 together with the torsion coil spring 118. Torsion coil spring 118 is a torsion spring that biases clip 109. As a result, when clip operating portion 109a of clip 109 is pressed in the +Y direction to rotate clip 109 around shaft portion 117, the operation is performed against the biasing force of torsion coil spring 118.

[0028] As described above, the back side of the clip 109 is provided with the anti-slip portion 109b. In addition, the front side of the bottom cover 103 is provided with the anti-slip portion (base side anti-slip portion) 103c at a portion (a portion that contacts the clothing) corresponding to the anti-slip portion 109b. Then, the clothing can be sandwiched between the anti-slip portion 109b of the clip 109 and the anti-slip portion 103c of the bottom cover 103. In addition, both the anti-slip portion 109b and the anti-slip portion 103c are formed with a plurality of grooves, unevenness, etc., and can suppress slippage between the clothing. As a result, the state in which the clothing is sandwiched between the anti-slip portion 109b and the anti-slip portion 103c, combined with the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 118, can prevent the wireless microphone 100 from shifting in position relative to the clothing. In addition, the front side of the bottom cover 103 is provided with a contact surface 109e (see FIG. 3(a)). The abutment surface 109e functions as a regulating portion that regulates the position of the clip 109 when no pressing operation is performed on the clip 109. As a result, a predetermined gap (clearance) is formed between the surface that constitutes the non-slip portion 109b and the surface that constitutes the non-slip portion 103c. The predetermined gap is not particularly limited, and is preferably, for example, about one piece of fabric (about 0.1 mm). As a result, for example, regardless of the thickness of the clothes, that is, even if the clothes are thin, the clothes can be sufficiently sandwiched between the non-slip portion 109b and the non-slip portion 103c. Also, even if the wireless microphone 100 is displaced while the clothes are sandwiched between the non-slip portion 109b and the non-slip portion 103c, the noise of the clothes rubbing due to the displacement can be suppressed. Also, the microphone element 115 is held by the middle cover 102 via the bushing rubber 130. The top cover unit 120 and the bottom cover unit 122 are assembled to the middle cover unit 121 via the cushion member 119. The bushing rubber 130 can prevent noise caused by vibration of the wireless microphone 100 , the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, and the like from being transmitted to the microphone element 115 .

[0029] Next, the configuration (shape) of the clip 109 and the positional relationship with the attachment 202 will be described with reference to FIG. 3(a) and FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the clip is operated from the state shown in FIG. 3(a) to the fully open state. As shown in FIG. 3(a), the first surface (operation surface) 109d constituting the clip operation section 109a is inclined at an angle θ with respect to the second surface (holding surface) 109c constituting the non-slip section 109b. The first surface 109d is also a virtual surface that contacts the clip operation section 109a as a whole. The second surface 109c is also a virtual surface that contacts the non-slip section 109b as a whole. The angle θ is appropriately determined according to the thickness of the clothes to be held between the clip 109 and the bottom cover 103. This allows the clip 109 to be sufficiently rotated regardless of the thickness of the clothes, and therefore provides excellent operability when attaching and detaching the wireless microphone 100 to and from the clothes. Furthermore, the inclination at angle θ allows shaft portion 117 located between first surface 109d and second surface 109c to be brought closer to bottom cover 103, thereby reducing the amount of clip 109 protruding from bottom cover 103. This prevents clip 109 from getting caught on clothing, and allows wireless microphone 100 to maintain its position even when wireless microphone 100 is attached to clothing. This also improves the design of wireless microphone 100.

[0030] When viewed from the X direction (the direction of the shaft 117), the first surface 109d is located in the -Y direction (opposite the direction of the pressing operation) of the recess 202d of the attachment 202, regardless of whether or not a pressing operation is performed on the clip operation portion 109a (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as a "pressing operation"). In other words, when viewed from the direction of the shaft 117, the attachment 202 in the windshield-mounted state is located in the +Y direction (the pressing operation direction side) of the first surface 109d, regardless of whether or not a pressing operation is performed on the clip operation portion 109a. In addition, when viewed from the X direction, the second surface 109c is located in the +Y direction of the recess 202d when no pressing operation is performed (see FIG. 3(a)), and is located in the -Y direction of the recess 202d when a pressing operation is performed (see FIG. 8). Also, when viewed from the X direction, the second surface 109c is located in the +Y direction from the first surface 109d when there is no pressing operation (see FIG. 3(a)), and is located in the -Y direction from the first surface 109d when there is a pressing operation (see FIG. 8). The above-mentioned positional relationship works together to suppress the amount of protrusion of the clip 109 from the bottom cover 103. This, combined with the suppression of the amount of protrusion of the clip 109 described above, further prevents the clip 109 from getting caught on clothing even when the wireless microphone 100 is attached to clothing, and improves the maintenance of the posture of the wireless microphone 100. By maintaining the posture of the wireless microphone 100, stable sound collection is possible. In particular, as shown in FIG. 8, even when the clip 109 is fully opened, the first surface 109d is suppressed from protruding from the recess 202d of the attachment 202 by the amount of protrusion h. The amount of protrusion h is set to a size that can prevent the fingertip from hitting the recess 202d of the attachment 202 even when the clip operating portion 109a is pressed with the fingertip and the clip 109 is operated to the full open state. This allows the clip 109 to be operated smoothly, thereby improving the operability when attaching and detaching the wireless microphone 100.

[0031] Here, let us assume that the angle θ is zero, that is, the first surface 109d and the second surface 109c are parallel. In this case, in order to rotate the clip 109 sufficiently, it is necessary to move the clip 109 away from the bottom cover 103 and protrude it. Then, when attaching or detaching the wireless microphone 100 to or from the clothing, the clip 109 may get caught on the clothing by this protrusion, and the operability at the time of attachment or detachment may decrease. In addition, even when the wireless microphone 100 is attached to the clothing, the clip 109 may continue to get caught on the clothing, and as a result, the position of the wireless microphone 100 with respect to the clothing may be shifted, making it difficult to maintain the position of the wireless microphone 100. The change in the position of the wireless microphone 100 leads to a decrease in the sound collection efficiency.

[0032] In contrast, in this embodiment, the first surface 109d is inclined at an angle θ with respect to the second surface 109c. As a result, as described above, the operability of attaching and detaching the wireless microphone 100 to and from the clothes is excellent, and the position of the wireless microphone 100 can be maintained when attached to the clothes. As shown in FIG. 3(a) and FIG. 8, the anti-slip portion 109b is disposed farther from the microphone element 115 (in the -Z direction) than the clip operation portion 109a. This makes it possible to prevent the noise of clothes rustling at the anti-slip portion 109b from being collected by the microphone element 115. Also, as shown in FIG. 3(a), the size of the attachment 202 itself can be set within a range that does not exceed the housing size surface 100a in the Y direction of the wireless microphone 100. This makes it possible to prevent the attachment 202 from getting caught on the clothes, thereby suppressing the noise of clothes rustling.

[0033] FIG. 9 is an external view showing the windshield accessory. FIG. 9(a) is a front view showing the assembled state of the windshield part of the windshield accessory and the attachment. FIG. 9(b) is a side view showing the assembled state of the windshield part of the windshield accessory and the attachment. The arrows in FIG. 9(a) and FIG. 9(b) indicate the assembly direction when assembling the windshield part 201 to the attachment 202. As shown in FIG. 9(a) and FIG. 9(b), the windshield accessory 200 has the windshield part 201 and the attachment 202. The windshield part 201 is a bag-shaped member made of a fur-like fabric. An engagement part (windshield hook part) 202a is provided at the end of the cylindrical part 202i of the attachment 202. The engagement part 202a is formed in a flange shape along the circumferential direction of the cylindrical part 202i. The opening of the bag-shaped windshield part 201 can be engaged with this engagement part 202a to narrow it. This causes the windshield unit 201 to be attached to the attachment 202. The -Z direction surface 202g of the engagement portion 202a is formed perpendicular to the central axis O202i of the cylindrical portion 202i. This makes it possible to prevent the windshield unit 201 from unintentionally detaching from the engagement portion 202a. In addition, the +Z direction surface 202h of the engagement portion 202a is formed inclined with respect to the central axis O202i of the cylindrical portion 202i. This makes it easy to insert the engagement portion 202a into the opening of the windshield unit 201.

[0034] With the windshield attached, the cylindrical portion 202i of the attachment 202 is located in the sound collection hole 102a of the middle cover 102. This results in the cylindrical portion 202i, the sound collection hole 102a, and the microphone element 115 being arranged coaxially. When the wireless microphone 100 collects sound with the microphone element 115, the windshield portion 201 suppresses wind noise and the like, while the voice from the user passes through the windshield portion 201, the sound collection hole 102a, and the cylindrical portion 202i in that order, and can smoothly reach the microphone element 115.

[0035] Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention. In this embodiment, the wireless microphone 100 is given as an example of the application of the recording device, but the application is not limited to this, and the recording device can also be a voice recorder, a smartphone, etc.
