Description

Contact microphones allow you to pick up vibrations and covert them into sounds! Capture a whole world of AMSR sounds that would otherwise go unheard!

This contact microphone hydrophone can be used with any recording device which is able to amplify microphone signals, for example they work great with ZOOM recorders!

If you want to get sounds directly into your Eurorack system for recording or processing I also make a 2hp Kontact Mic amplifier module designed to amplify the signal up to Eurorack level! (link below)

The product is the result of numerous experiments with different piezo elements and cables to produce the best possible results.

The hydrophone is made of a large piezo contact microphone just like any other piezo microphone but these have been specially prepared for use in water using a waterproof coating.

The expander can also be used just like a regular surface contact mic by holding it against or fixing it to a surface using double sided tape.

The piezo has been wired to a 3.5mm jack that connects to your 2hp Kontact module input, by passing the panel mounted piezo.

Things to try!

Try placing it under running water or in glass and blowing bubbles with a straw.

One very interesting application is to pair one of these contact mics with a transducer. With the two, some amps and mixers it’s possible to make you very DIY plate reverb!
