Abstract

There is provided a microphone which has a microphone capsule for recording audio signals, an A/D converter for digitizing the audio signals recorded by the microphone capsule and a semiconductor memory for storing the audio signals digitized by the A/D converter. The microphone further has an interface for transmitting the digital audio signals to an external receiver and a controller for controlling the microphone. The controller controls the microphone in a first operating mode for storing the digitized audio signals in the semiconductor memory and for transmitting the stored audio data by way of the interface at a later time. The controller controls the microphone in a second operating mode for direct transmission of the digitized audio signals by way of the interface. The controller switches into the first operating mode when errors occur in the second operating mode.
