A microphone capsule support in which the microphone capsule is mounted elastically in a microphone housing using two annular diaphragms. The capsule is connected through the annular diaphragms to a bearing bushing and a cover is connected to the bearing bushing at least in an essentially air-tight manner, such that a closed volume is formed by the lower annular diaphragm, the cover and the capsule. A small opening is provided for connecting the closed volume to the atmosphere. The bearing bushing and/or the cover are connected to the microphone housing.
