A microphone assembly includes at one or more transducers positioned in a
housing. Circuitry is coupled to the transducer for outputting an
electrical signal such that the microphone has a main lobe directed
forwardly and attenuates signals originating from the sides. The
microphone transducers can advantageously include multiple transducers
which with the circuit produce a desired sensitivity pattern. The
microphone can be employed in a vehicle accessory.
