The orientation of the directional axis and the directionality of a microphone are adjusted through a simple configuration. A unidirectional close-talking microphone includes a microphone unit including a front sound-collecting segment and a rear sound-collecting segment; and a microphone cap attachable to the outer circumference of the microphone cap, the microphone cap including a plurality of sound-collecting holes on a side face, the relative position between the microphone cap and the microphone unit being switchable between a first position and a second position along the central axis, the sound-collecting holes being disposed on opposite sides of the central axis at different positions along the central axis, the rear sound-collecting segment being in communication with outside of the microphone cap through the sound-collecting holes in the microphone cap when the microphone cap resides at the first position, part of the rear sound-collecting segment being covered with the microphone cap when the microphone cap resides at the second position.
