Described is a respiratory mask (10) with an inner mask (22) for covering mouth and nose, wherein the inner mask (22) includes at least an inhalation valve (24), an exhalation valve (38) and a voice aperture (34) which is intended to be placed opposite the mouth. In the inner mask (22) a microphone mount (48) is removably attached above the voice aperture (34). On the inside of the microphone mount (48) two directional microphones (50, 52) are so attached that, when the respiratory mask (10) is put on, one of the microphones (50) is positioned opposite the mouth and is oriented substantially toward it and that the other microphone (52) is oriented substantially toward the inhalation valve (24). The directional pattern of the first microphone (50) is perpendicular and the directional pattern of the second microphone (52) is parallel to the inside of the microphone mount (48). The microphone mount (48) takes the form of a rigid printed circuit board and replaces the currently conventional voice diaphragm of the respiratory mask (10). In this manner there is obtained excellent voice reproduction and a reliable switching signal for voice activation, in order to turn on the voice communication only when speaking is actually taking place. Sealing problems due to a microphone connecting lead (16) which has to be led to the outside are avoided because it is preferably led through a voice channel (30) and a grille (32) which covers same.
