DESCRIPTION JP2012080530 In an electrostatic electroacoustic transducer, when used as an electrostatic speaker, sound generated by a vibrating body is easily radiated to the outside, and when used as an electrostatic microphone. Makes it easy to convert externally generated sound into an acoustic signal. SOLUTION: Electrodes 20U and 20L are located on both sides of an air-permeable separating member 10, and elastic members 30U and 30L having elasticity and insulation are located outside the electrodes 20U and 20L. Then, on the outer side of the elastic members 30U and 30L, the vibrators 40U and 40L in which the conductive film is formed on the surface of the insulating film are located. The electrode 20U and the electrode 20L are configured to be less likely to be displaced by an external force as compared to the vibrating body 40. [Selected figure] Figure 1 Electrostatic transducer [0001] The present invention relates to an electrostatic electroacoustic transducer. [0002] The electrostatic speaker disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes two flat electrodes facing each other at intervals and a conductive diaphragm (a vibrator having a conductive member disposed between the two flat electrodes). When a predetermined bias voltage is applied to the diaphragm and the voltage applied to the flat electrode is changed, the electrostatic attractive force acting on the diaphragm is changed, whereby the diaphragm is displaced. Do. 04-05-2019 1 If this applied voltage is changed according to the acoustic signal to be input, the diaphragm repeats displacement accordingly, and acoustic waves corresponding to the acoustic signal are generated from both sides of the diaphragm. Then, the generated acoustic wave is radiated to the outside through the through hole opened in the flat electrode. Further, according to Patent Document 2, in a speaker element in which a plurality of fixed electrodes are disposed to face each other with a diaphragm (oscillator) interposed therebetween, polarization voltages of opposite polarities are applied to adjacent diaphragms, A technique is disclosed that generates a large sound pressure by applying a drive signal of reverse polarity between fixed fixed electrodes. [0003] JP, 2007-318554, A JP, 06-209499, A [0004] In the electrostatic loudspeaker having the above-described configuration, sound waves generated from the diaphragm facing the flat electrode pass through the through holes provided in the flat electrode and are radiated to the outside of the electrostatic loudspeaker. Therefore, when the aperture ratio of the flat electrode is small, the sound wave generated from the diaphragm facing the flat electrode passes through the through hole and the outside of the electrostatic speaker compared to the case where the aperture ratio of the flat electrode is large. There is a problem that the sound pressure outside the electrostatic speaker is low because the rate of radiation to the air is low. Moreover, it is also possible to use the structure of this electrostatic speaker as a structure of an electrostatic microphone. In this case, a sound (sound) is converted into an acoustic signal (electric signal) by allowing a sound wave generated outside to pass through a through hole provided in the electrode to vibrate the diaphragm. Therefore, when the aperture ratio of the electrode is small, the sound wave generated outside is less likely to pass through the through hole and the acoustic signal converted by the electrostatic microphone becomes smaller than when the aperture ratio of the electrode is large There is a problem that the sensitivity of the electrostatic microphone is lowered. [0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is an electrostatic electroacoustic 04-05-2019 2 transducer, when used as an electrostatic speaker, the sound generated by the vibrating body is easily radiated to the outside, and the electrostatic type When used as a microphone, the object is to make it easy to convert externally generated sound into an acoustic signal. [0006] In order to solve the problems described above, the present invention comprises a separating member having air permeability and insulating properties, a pair of electrodes having a through hole penetrating from the front surface to the rear surface and sandwiching the separating member, and at least one of them. A conductive film formed on the entire surface of the surface, and positioned between the electrode and the vibrator, and a pair of vibrators facing each other across the spacing member and the pair of electrodes; An electrostatic electroacoustic transducer characterized by comprising an elastic member having elasticity and air permeability. [0007] In the present invention, the conductive film included in the vibrator may be electrically connected to the ground of a drive circuit that supplies an acoustic signal to the electrode. Further, in the present invention, the pair of electrodes may be higher in rigidity than the pair of vibrators. [0008] According to the present invention, in the electrostatic type electroacoustic transducer, when used as an electrostatic type speaker, the sound generated by the vibrator is easily radiated to the outside, and is used as an electrostatic type microphone. In this case, the externally generated sound is likely to be converted into an acoustic signal.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an electrical configuration 04-05-2019 7 of the electrostatic speaker 1. The drive unit 100 is connected to the electrostatic speaker 1. The drive unit 100 includes a transformer 110, an amplifier 120, and a bias power supply 130. An acoustic signal (electrical signal) is input to the amplifier 120. The amplifier 120 is an amplification circuit that amplifies the input acoustic signal and outputs the amplified acoustic signal. The amplifier 120 has terminals TA1 and TA2 for outputting an acoustic signal, and the terminal TA1 is connected to the terminal T1 on the primary side of the transformer 110 via the resistor R1. The terminal TA2 is connected to the other terminal T2 of the primary side of the transformer 110 via the resistor R2. The terminal T4 on the secondary side of the transformer 110 is connected to the electrode 20U, and the other terminal T5 on the secondary side of the transformer 110 is connected to the electrode 20L. One end of the bias power supply 130 is connected to the ground GND which is the reference potential of the drive unit 100, and the other end of the bias power supply 130 is connected to the middle terminal T3 of the transformer 110 via the resistor R3. That is, the bias power supply 130 applies a predetermined bias voltage (for example, 350 V) to the transformer 110. The conductive film of the vibrating body 40U and the conductive film of the vibrating body 40L are electrically connected, and are connected to the ground GND which is the reference potential of the drive unit 100. [0022] (Operation of Electrostatic Speaker 1) Next, the operation of the electrostatic speaker 1 will be described. FIG. 5 is a view showing the operation of the electrostatic speaker 1. When an AC acoustic signal is input to the amplifier 120, the input acoustic signal is amplified and supplied to the primary side of the transformer 110. Then, when the voltage at the terminal on the secondary side of transformer 110 is changed by the supplied voltage, and the potential difference between vibrator 40U and electrode 20U is changed, the static electricity between vibrator 40U and electrode 20U is changed. The electrostatic attraction is intensified or the electrostatic attraction between the vibrator 40U and the electrode 20U is weakened. Also, when the voltage at the terminal on the secondary side of the transformer 110 is changed by the supplied voltage, and the potential difference between the vibrator 40L and the electrode 20L is changed, the static electricity between the vibrator 40L and the electrode 20L is generated. The electrostatic attraction is strengthened or the electrostatic attraction between the vibrator 40L and the electrode 20L is weakened. [0023] First, the case where the voltage applied to the electrode 20U increases and the voltage applied to the electrode 20L decreases will be described. When the voltage applied to the electrode 20U 04-05-2019 8 is increased, the electrostatic attractive force between the vibrator 40U and the electrode 20U is strengthened, and the vibrator 40U is displaced in the direction of the arrow F1 as shown in FIG. 5A. Further, when the voltage applied to the electrode 20L decreases, the electrostatic attractive force between the vibrator 40L and the electrode 20L weakens, and the vibrator 40L is displaced in the direction of the arrow F2 as shown in FIG. 5A. . Note that the voltage applied to the electrode 20U and the voltage applied to the electrode 20L are electrically configured to have the same absolute value in opposite phase to each other, so the direction of the arrow F1 and the direction of the arrow F2 In the same direction. [0024] Next, the case where the voltage applied to the electrode 20U decreases and the voltage applied to the electrode 20L increases will be described. When the voltage applied to the electrode 20U decreases, the electrostatic attractive force between the vibrating body 40U and the electrode 20U weakens, and as shown in FIG. 5B, the vibrating body 40U is displaced in the direction of the arrow F3. In addition, when the voltage applied to the electrode 20L increases, the electrostatic attractive force between the vibrating body 40L and the electrode 20L is strengthened, and the vibrating body 40L is displaced in the direction of the arrow F4 as shown in FIG. . The voltage applied to the electrode 20U and the voltage applied to the electrode 20L are electrically configured to have the same absolute value in opposite phase to each other, so the direction of the arrow F3 and the direction of the arrow F4 In the same direction. [0025] In this manner, the vibrating bodies 40U and 40L are displaced according to the acoustic signal, and the displacement direction is sequentially changed to become vibration, and sound waves corresponding to the vibration state (frequency, amplitude, phase) are the vibrating body 40U, It originates from 40L. Further, in the electrostatic speaker 1, since the vibrating body 40U and the vibrating body 40L have the same direction of displacement, the sound wave generated from the vibrating body 40U is in phase with the sound wave generated from the vibrating body 40L, and generated. Both sound waves are added without being canceled each other, and are emitted as sound through the surface members 50U and 50L to the outside of the electrostatic speaker 1. [0026] 04-05-2019 9 According to the present embodiment, since the vibrating body 40 is positioned outside the electrode 20 in the electrostatic speaker 1, the sound wave generated from the vibrating body 40 is not electrostatically blocked by the electrode 20. It becomes possible to radiate to the outside of 1. Therefore, in the electrostatic speaker 1, the ratio of the sound waves that can be emitted to the outside of the electrostatic speaker 1 as compared with the conventional electrostatic speaker in which a part of the sound waves generated from the vibrator is blocked by the electrodes. The sound pressure of the sound wave radiated to the outside of the electrostatic speaker 1 can be increased. Furthermore, since the vibrating body 40U and the vibrating body 40L vibrate in phase, it is possible to increase the sound pressure radiated to the outside of the electrostatic speaker 1 compared to the case where there is one vibrating body. Further, according to the present embodiment, the electrode 20 is formed to be higher in rigidity than the vibrating body 40. Therefore, when the potential difference between the electrode 20 and the vibrating body 40 changes, the vibrating body 40 is displaced in the direction attracted to the electrode 20 or away from the electrode 20 by the action of the electrostatic attractive force. Further, in the electrode 20, a through hole 21 penetrating from the front surface to the back surface is formed. Therefore, in the electrode 20, the movement of the air located inside the elastic member 30U and the air located inside the elastic member 30L according to the displacement of the vibrating body 40, as compared with the electrode in which the through hole is not formed It is easy to do. Further, since the electrode 20L and the electrode 20U are disposed at predetermined intervals by sandwiching the separating member 10, the capacitance is reduced as compared with the case where they are not disposed at predetermined intervals. Can. Further, according to the present embodiment, only a partial region is fixed on the surface of the vibrating body 40 in contact with the adjacent members, and therefore, when all the regions are fixed on the surface contacting the adjacent members It is easier to displace compared to. In addition, since the vibrating body 40 is disposed between the surface member 50 having flexibility and the elastic member 30 having elasticity, it is compared with the case where it is disposed between members having no flexibility and elasticity. And it is easy to displace. Further, according to the present embodiment, since the outside of the electrode 20 through which current flows is covered by the vibrating body 40 connected to the ground GND, the possibility of an electric shock of the human body can be reduced. [0027] MODIFIED EXAMPLE The embodiment described above is only an example of implementation of the present invention. The present invention can also be implemented in the mode which applied the following modification to embodiment mentioned above. In addition, the modification shown below may be implemented combining each suitably as needed. 04-05-2019 10 [0028] (Modification 1) The vibrator is not limited to the one having a conductive metal deposited on one surface of the film, and may have the conductive metal deposited on both sides of the film. . Further, the vibrator is not limited to PET or PP, and may be a film of another synthetic resin on which a metal having conductivity is vapor-deposited. [0029] (Modification 2) The elastic member and the spacing member are not limited to the non-woven fabric, and may be members having insulation, air permeability and elasticity, for example, those obtained by compressing heat with a batt, woven The cloth or synthetic resin may be spongy. [0030] (Modification 3) The shape of each member constituting the electrostatic speaker 1 is not limited to the shape of a rectangle when viewed from the Z-axis direction, and may be another shape such as a polygon, a circle, or an ellipse, It is also good. [0031] (Modification 4) A surface member should just be a member which can pass air and a sound, for example, what heats and compressed the batting, and what made synthetic resin a spongy etc. may be sufficient as it. In addition, the surface member may have an image of a character, a picture, a photograph, etc. formed on the surface thereof. FIG. 6 is an external view of an electrostatic loudspeaker 1a according to a modification of the present invention. In the present modification, the image 51a is printed on the surface of the surface member 50Ua. The electrostatic loudspeaker 1a configured in this manner can emit a sound wave associated with the image printed on the surface of the surface member 50Ua from the surface of the surface member 50a. In addition, the electrostatic speaker 1 is not limited to the configuration including the surface member 50, and may not include the surface member 50. 04-05-2019 11 [0032] (Modification 5) In the embodiment described above, the dimensions in the X-axis direction and the dimensions in the Y-axis direction of the respective members are the same in all cases, but the dimensions may be different for each member. For example, the dimension in the X-axis direction and the dimension in the Y-axis direction of the surface member 50 may be longer than other members. When the dimension in the X-axis direction and the dimension in the Y-axis direction of the surface member 50 are longer than those of the other members as described above, the edge of the surface member 50U and the edge of the surface member 50L are adhered to each other, and the surface member 50U and the surface member The spacer 10, the electrode 20, the elastic member 30, and the vibrator 40 may be located in a sealed space between 50 L and 50 L. According to this configuration, since the portion through which the current flows is covered by the insulating surface member 50, it is possible to reduce the possibility of the human body receiving an electric shock. [0033] Also, for example, the dimension in the X-axis direction and the dimension in the Y-axis direction of the vibrating body 40 may be longer than other members. Further, when the dimensions in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the vibrating body 40 are longer than those of other members as described above, the edge of the vibrating body 40U and the edge of the vibrating body 40L are adhered to each other, and the vibrating body 40U and the vibrating body The spacer 10, the electrode 20, and the elastic member 30 may be located in a sealed space between 40L and 40L. According to this configuration, since the electrode 20 through which current flows is covered by the vibrating body 40 connected to the ground GND, the possibility of an electric shock of the human body can be reduced. In addition, since the vibrating body 40U and the vibrating body 40L have the same direction of displacement, the air located in the sealed space between the vibrating body 40U and the vibrating body 40L is not compressed or expanded. [0034] (Modification 6) The electrode 20 is not limited to a punching metal, and a metal film is vapordeposited on a film of synthetic resin having insulation and flexibility such as PET or PP, and a through hole penetrating from the front surface to the back surface 21 may be formed. That is, 04-05-2019 12 the electrode 20 may not have rigidity higher than that of the vibrating body 40. In this case, the electrode 20 may be fixed to the spacing member 10 so as not to be displaced by the electrostatic attraction acting between the electrode 20 and the vibrating body 40. For example, FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an area to which the adhesive according to the present modification is applied. In FIG. 7A, a region (first bonding region 21Lb) having a width of several mm inward from the edge in the X axis direction and the edge in the Y axis direction of the electrode 20Lb, and the X axis direction and the Y axis An adhesive is applied to a lattice-like area (second bonding area 22Lb) in which areas having a predetermined width in the direction have a predetermined interval. On the other hand, in the electrode 20Lb, the adhesive is not applied to the area excluding the first adhesion area 21Lb and the second adhesion area 22Lb. When forming the electrostatic loudspeaker, a part of the lower surface of the spacing member 10 is fixed to the first bonding area 21Lb and the second bonding area 22Lb. An adhesive may be applied to the same region as the electrode 20Lb on the surface of the electrode 20Ub facing the separating member 10. [0035] In FIG. 7B, a region (first bonding region 21Lc) having a width of several mm inward from the edge in the X axis direction and the edge in the Y axis direction of the electrode 20Lc, and in the X axis direction and the Y axis direction An adhesive is applied to a plurality of circular regions (second bonding regions 22Lc) arranged at predetermined intervals. On the other hand, in the electrode 20Lc, the adhesive is not applied to the area excluding the first adhesion area 21Lc and the second adhesion area 22Lc. When forming the electrostatic loudspeaker, a part of the lower surface of the spacing member 10 is fixed to the first bonding area 21Lc and the second bonding area 22Lc. An adhesive may be applied to the same area as the electrode 20Lc on the surface of the electrode 20Uc facing the separating member 10. [0036] As shown in FIG. 7, the electrode to which the adhesive is applied is fixed to the spacing member, so that the position of the electrode and the position of the spacing member do not shift relative to each other. That is, the electrode is not displaced by the electrostatic attractive force acting between the electrode and the vibrator. In addition, the electrode has a degree of changing the acoustic characteristics (amplitude, phase) of the sound wave generated from the vibrator as compared with the case of fixing the entire area of the electrode by fixing only a partial area of the electrode. It gets lower. 04-05-2019 13 [0037] (Modification 7) The notch for connecting with a drive part may be provided in each member which comprises an electrostatic type speaker. FIG. 8 is an external view of an electrostatic loudspeaker 1d according to a modification. The electrostatic speaker 1d has the same configuration as the electrostatic speaker 1, but the shape of each member is different. In the present modification, only differences from the electrostatic loudspeaker 1 will be described. [0038] The electrostatic speaker 1d is configured by laminating the surface member 50Ld, the vibrator 40Ld, the elastic member 30Ld, the electrode 20Ld, the spacing member 10d, the electrode 20Ud, the elastic member 30Ud, the vibrator 40Ud, and the surface member 50Ud in this order. . The surface member 50Ld and the vibrating body 40Ld have a rectangular shape as viewed from the Z-axis direction, and no notch is provided. On the other hand, the elastic member 30Ld, the electrode 20Ld, the spacing member 10d, the electrode 20Ud, the elastic member 30Ud, the vibrating member 40Ud, and the surface member 50Ud are provided with notches cut out a part of a rectangle and having a certain width in the depth direction. ing. [0039] The position of the notch of the electrode 20Ld in the left-right direction is the same as the position of the notch of the elastic member 30Ld. Further, the length in the left-right direction of the notch of the electrode 20Ld is equal to the length in the left-right direction of the notch of the elastic member 30Ld. Further, the length in the left-right direction of the notch of the electrode 20Ud is longer than the length in the left-right direction of the notch of the electrode 20Ld. The lateral position of the notch of the separating member 10d is the same as the notch of the electrode 20Ud. Further, the length in the left-right direction of the notch of the separating member 10d is equal to the length in the left-right direction of the notch of the electrode 20Ud. Further, the length in the left-right direction of the notch of the vibrating body 40Ud is longer than the length in the left-right direction of the notch of the electrode 20Ud. The position in the left-right direction of the notch of the elastic member 30Ud is the same as the position of the notch of the vibrating body 40Ud. Further, the length in the left-right direction of the notch of the elastic member 30Ud is equal to the length in the left-right direction of the notch of the vibrating body 40Ud. Further, the length in the left-right direction of the notch of the surface 04-05-2019 14 member 50Ud is longer than the length in the left-right direction of the notch of the vibrating body 40Ud. [0040] FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of a part of the top surface of the electrostatic speaker 1d. The notch of the electrode 20Ld and the notch of the elastic member 30Ld are shorter in length in the leftright direction than the notch of the electrode 20Ud and the separating member 10d, and viewed from above, within the region of the notch of the electrode 20Ud and the separating member 10d positioned. Further, the notch of the electrode 20Ud and the notch of the separating member 10d have a shorter length in the lateral direction than the notch of the vibrating body 40Ud and the elastic member 30Ud, and the notch of the vibrating body 40Ud and the elastic member 30Ud when viewed from above Located in the area of Further, the notch of the vibrating body 40Ud and the notch of the elastic member 30Ud are shorter in length in the left-right direction than the notch of the surface member 50Ud, and when viewed from above, are located within the notch region of the surface member 50Ud There is. [0041] The electrostatic speaker 1 d is connected to the drive unit 100 by the clip 200. FIG. 10A is a front view of the clip 200, and FIG. 10B is a side view of the clip 200. As shown in FIG. The clip 200 has rectangular plate-like electrodes 201 d to 204 d and a spring 210. The clip 200 also has a plate-like plastic plate portion 220A to which the electrodes 201d to 204d are fixed, and a plate-like plastic plate portion 220B facing the plate portion 220A. The electrode 201 d is connected to the ground GND of the drive unit 100 via a conductor (not shown). The electrode 202d is connected to the terminal T5 on the output side of the transformer 110 via a wire (not shown). The electrode 203 d is connected to the terminal T 4 on the output side of the transformer 110 via a conductor (not shown). The electrode 204 d is connected to the ground GND of the drive unit 100 via a conductor (not shown). [0042] FIG. 11 is a view showing a state in which the electrostatic speaker 1 d is sandwiched by the clip 200. By sandwiching the notched portion of the electrostatic speaker 1d with the clip 200, the electrode 201d and the vibrating body 40Ld, the electrode 202d and the electrode 20Ld, the 04-05-2019 15 electrode 203 and the electrode 20Ud, and the electrode 204d and the vibrating body 40Ud respectively contact. The acoustic signal output from the terminal T5 is supplied to the electrode 20Ld via the electrode 202d, and the acoustic signal output from the terminal T4 is supplied to the electrode 20Ud via the electrode 203d. The vibrating body 40Ud is connected to the ground GND via the electrode 204d, and the vibrating body 40Ld is connected to the ground GND via the electrode 201d. [0043] In this modification, only by sandwiching the electrostatic speaker 1d with the clip 200, the electrostatic speaker 1d and the drive unit 100 can be connected, and a voltage corresponding to the acoustic signal can be applied to each electrode. Further, when the clip 200 is removed from the electrostatic speaker 1 d, the electrostatic speaker 1 d and the drive unit 100 can be separated, so that the electrostatic speaker 1 d can be easily carried. [0044] (Modification 8) The electrostatic speaker is connected to the drive unit by sandwiching the electrostatic speaker with the clip having the electrode, but the configuration for connecting the electrostatic speaker and the drive unit is limited to this is not. FIG. 12 is an external view of an electrostatic loudspeaker 1e according to a modification. The electrostatic speaker 1e is configured by laminating the surface member 50Le, the vibrator 40Le, the elastic member 30Le, the electrode 20Le, the spacing member 10e, the electrode 20Ue, the elastic member 30Ue, the vibrator 40Ue, and the surface member 50Ue in this order. . The electrode 20Ue is a plate-like member having conductivity, and has higher rigidity (large Young's modulus) than the vibrator 40e (lower Young's modulus) and lower rigidity than electrodes 201e to 204e described later. Further, the electrode 20 e is formed with a plurality of through holes penetrating from the front surface to the back surface. The vibrating body 40Le and the vibrating body 40Ue are provided with one notch which is partially recessed and recessed with a certain width in the depth direction, and two notches are constant in the electrode 20Ue and the electrode 20Le. It is provided at intervals. The surface member 50Le, the elastic member 30Le, the spacing member 10e, the elastic member 30Ue, and the surface member 50Ue do not have conductivity and are not connected to the drive unit 100, so a notch is provided. Even if it does not have to be provided. [0045] 04-05-2019 16 The electrostatic speaker 1 e is connected to the drive unit 100 by the clip 200. As shown in FIG. 12, the clip 200 is provided with electrodes 201 e to 204 e having a needle shape. The electrode 201e is connected to the ground GND of the drive unit 100 via a conductor (not shown). The electrode 202e is connected to the terminal T5 on the output side of the transformer 110 via a wire (not shown). The electrode 203 e is connected to the terminal T 4 on the output side of the transformer 110 via a wire (not shown). The electrode 204 e is connected to the ground GND of the drive unit 100 via a conductor (not shown). [0046] In the electrostatic loudspeaker 1e, the positions of the notches provided in the vibrator 40Le, the electrode 20Le, the electrode 20Ue, and the vibrator 40Ue in the left-right direction are different from each other. More specifically, although the vibrating body 40Le is present at the point P1, the electrode 20Le, the electrode 20Ue and the vibrating body 40Ue are not present due to the notch. In addition, although the electrode 20Le is present at the point P2, the vibration body 40Le, the electrode 20Ue and the vibration body 40Ue are not present due to the notch. In addition, although there is an electrode 20Ue at the point P3, the notch does not cause the vibrating body 40Le, the electrode 20Le and the vibrating body 40Ue. Although the vibrating body 40Ue is present at the point P4, the vibrating body 40Le, the electrode 20Le, and the electrode 20Ue are not present because of the notch. By sandwiching the cut portion of the electrostatic speaker 1e configured in this way with the clip 200, the electrode 201e is pierced at the point P1 shown in FIG. 12, the electrode 202e is pierced at the point P2, and the electrode 203e is joined at the point P3. The electrode 204e is pierced at the point P4. [0047] In this case, the electrode 201e contacts only the vibrating body 40Le among the conductive members, and does not contact other conductive members. For this reason, only the vibrating body 40Le is connected to the ground GND via the electrode 201e. Further, the electrode 202e contacts only the electrode 20Le among the conductive members, and does not contact other conductive members. Therefore, only the electrode 20Le is supplied with the acoustic signal output from the terminal T5 through the electrode 202e. In addition, the electrode 203 e is in contact with only the electrode 20 U e among the members having conductivity, and does not contact other members having conductivity. Therefore, only the electrode 20Ue is applied with the bias voltage supplied from the bias power supply 132 via the electrode 203e. In addition, the 04-05-2019 17 electrode 204e is in contact with only the vibrating body 40Ue among the members having conductivity, and does not contact other members having conductivity. Therefore, only the vibrating body 40Ue is supplied with the acoustic signal output from the terminal T4 via the electrode 204e. As described above, also in the present modification, the acoustic signal from the drive unit 100 can be supplied to the electrostatic speaker 1 e only by sandwiching the electrostatic speaker 1 e by the clip 200. [0048] (Modification 9) In the embodiment and the modification described above, an example has been described in which the electrostatic electroacoustic transducer is applied to an electrostatic speaker that converts an acoustic signal (electric signal) into sound (sound). Electrostatic transducers of the electrostatic type may be applied to electrostatic microphones that convert sound (sounds) into acoustic signals (electrical signals). FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the electrical configuration of the electrostatic microphone 1M according to this modification. In the configuration shown in FIG. 13, the electrostatic microphone 1 </ b> M has the same configuration as the electrostatic speaker 1 of FIG. 4 described above. The driving unit 100M is connected to the electrostatic microphone 1M. The drive unit 100M has the same configuration as the drive unit 100 of FIG. 4 described above, but the transformation ratio of the transformer 110 and the resistance values of the resistors R1 to R3 may be appropriately adjusted, and are input to and output from the amplifier 120. The direction of the acoustic signal is different from that in FIG. [0049] When a sound is generated outside, the vibrating bodies 40U and 40L vibrate as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b) by the sound, and between the vibrating body and the electrodes according to the vibration. As the distance changes, a change occurs in the capacitance between the vibrator and the electrode. Since the electrodes 20U and 20L are connected to the bias power supply 130 via the resistor R3, the charge remains constant even if the capacitance changes. [0050] Here, the operation of the electrostatic microphone 1M when the vibrators 40U and 40L vibrate as shown in FIG. 5A will be described. First, as the distance between the vibrating body 40U and 04-05-2019 18 the electrode 20U decreases, the capacitance between the vibrating body 40U and the electrode 20U increases. Here, since the vibrating body 40U is connected to the ground GND, the potential of the electrode 20U changes so that the potential difference between the vibrating body 40U and the electrode 20U decreases. Similarly, by increasing the distance between the vibrator 40L and the electrode 20L, the capacitance between the vibrator 40L and the electrode 20L decreases. Here, since the vibrating body 40L is connected to the ground GND, the potential of the electrode 20L changes so that the potential difference between the vibrating body 40L and the electrode 20L becomes large. [0051] Next, the operation of the electrostatic microphone 1M when the vibrators 40U and 40L vibrate as shown in FIG. 5B will be described. First, by increasing the distance between the vibrating body 40U and the electrode 20U, the capacitance between the vibrating body 40U and the electrode 20U decreases. Here, since the vibrating body 40U is connected to the ground GND, the potential of the electrode 20U changes so that the potential difference between the vibrating body 40U and the electrode 20U becomes large. Similarly, as the distance between the vibrating body 40L and the electrode 20L is shortened, the capacitance between the vibrating body 40L and the electrode 20L is increased. Here, since the vibrating body 40L is connected to the ground GND, the potential of the electrode 20L changes so that the potential difference between the vibrating body 40L and the electrode 20L decreases. [0052] As described above, as a result of the operation of the electrostatic microphone 1M, a voltage output in which changes in the potentials of the electrodes 20U and 20L are proportional to the displacement of the vibration, that is, a transformer via the terminals T4 and T5 as acoustic signals. It will be supplied to 110. Then, the transformer 110 transforms this acoustic signal and inputs it to the amplifier 120, and the amplifier 120 amplifies this acoustic signal and outputs it to a speaker, a computer or the like (not shown). [0053] As described above, in the electrostatic microphone 1 </ b> M, the externally generated sound directly vibrates the vibrating bodies 40 </ b> U and 40 </ b> L without being blocked by the 04-05-2019 19 electrodes 20 </ b> U and 20 </ b> L. Therefore, in the electrostatic microphone 1M, the vibrating bodies 40U and 40L are more easily vibrated as compared with the configuration in which the electrodes are disposed outside the vibrating body, so that the externally generated sound is converted into an acoustic signal. It will be easier. [0054] By the way, although the electrostatic microphone 1 </ b> M supplies the acoustic signal to the transformer 110 of the drive unit 100 </ b> M in the ninth modification, the acoustic signal may be supplied to other than the transformer 110. For example, when the impedance of the transformer 110 is low, the load capacitance of the electrostatic microphone 1M may reduce the frequency characteristics at low frequencies. In such a case, the electrostatic microphone 1 </ b> M may suppress the deterioration of the frequency characteristic at a low frequency by supplying an acoustic signal to the amplifier 120 having a higher impedance than the transformer 110.
