[0031] The apparatus and method components have been represented where appropriate by conventional symbols in the drawings, showing only those specific details that are pertinent to understanding the embodiments of the present invention so as not to obscure the disclosure with details that will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of the description herein.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] Detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment are provided herein. It is to be understood, however, that the present invention may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed system, structure or manner.

[0033] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well as the singular forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

[0034] The present invention is directed to a microphone Noise Abatement Attachment aimed to provide noise free recordings.

[0035] Embodiments of the present invention relate to mitigating noise during a capture of sound recording with a noise mitigating microphone attachment. Noise can refer to any unwanted sound, i.e., sound that is not desirable to have a microphone detect during a recording. For example, it may be desirable that noise such as ambient noise and reflections of sound waves originating from a performance sound source is mitigated. The noise mitigating microphone attachment can reduce the amount of noise that a microphone will pick up during a sound recording.

[0036] The assembly 101 is comprised of a material such as foam which is curved in shape from outside with an inner hollow end 102 along with opening 103. The inner hollow 102 and opening 103 are square shaped and allow microphone 605 to be placed into cavity 104 in the bottom of the assembly 101 which reduces the background noise while recording. A pop filter 506 may be attached to opening 103 to further reduce unwanted noise.

[0037] In some embodiments, a microphone coupled to a mobile device is used with the noise mitigating microphone attachment. Where the term “microphone” is used herein, a mobile device or other device having a microphone attachment may be used. For example, a mobile device can extend through the microphone cavity such that a microphone connected to the mobile device extends into the sound cavity.

[0038] The portable assembly as per its further embodiments is developed from high quality material which aims to maintain its effectiveness over longer period of time.

[0039] The embodiments described herein provide a portable device that can be produced at low-cost relative to the cost of existing solutions for noise Abatement in recording environments. The noise Abatement microphone attachment can be used for sound recording in a home studio, outdoors, or other environment to protect a microphone from picking up unwanted sounds during a performance. A microphone 605 can be inserted into a first opening 107 of the Abatement microphone attachment and extend through a microphone cavity 104 into a sound cavity 102. The sound cavity 102 can extend from a second opening 103 at the surface of the noise mitigating microphone attachment. A performance sound source is typically located proximate to the second opening 103. Sound incident on the exterior of the noise mitigating microphone attachment is attenuated by the structure of the noise Abatement microphone attachment.

[0040] While a specific embodiment has been shown and described, many variations are possible. With time, additional features may be employed. The particular shape or configuration of the platform or the interior configuration may be changed to suit the system or equipment with which it is used.

[0041] Having described the invention in detail, those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications may be made to the invention without departing from its spirit. Therefore, it is not intended that the scope of the invention be limited to the specific embodiment illustrated and described. Rather, it is intended that the scope of this invention be determined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0042] The Abstract of the Disclosure is provided to allow the reader to quickly ascertain the nature of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. In addition, in the foregoing Detailed Description, it can be seen that various features are grouped together in various embodiments for the purpose of streamlining the disclosure. This method of disclosure is not to be interpreted as reflecting an intention that the claimed embodiments require more features than are expressly recited in each claim. Rather, as the following claims reflect, inventive subject matter lies in less than all features of a single disclosed embodiment. Thus, the following claims are hereby incorporated into the Detailed Description, with each claim standing on its own as a separately claimed subject matter.
