LeafAudio - Magnetic Contact Microphone
Product information "LeafAudio - Magnetic Contact Microphone"
THE ITEM IS TEMPORARILY NOT AVAILABLE.
With contact microphones any surface or object becomes a canvas for sonic exploration. These microphones offer a unique perspective that traditional recording methods simply can't match. You can literally listen to materials, plants or objects from inside the material. As humans we are used to certain hearing perspective: sound waves normally travel through air before they hit the diaphragm of our ear or the microphone. Picking up vibrations directly from the object changes the hearing perspective and that's your best trick to record interesting and sometimes abstract sounds.
The new version is now magnetic! It comes in a neoprene zip-bag for save travelling. Different versions for different recorder-inputs belong to the past. The new one now features an audio jack instead of a fixed cable, what a) works as an acoustic decoupling from the cable itself and b) you have the possibilitiy at hand to work with 1/4" and 1/8" inputs with only one contact microphone. Two cables are included (1/8" to 1/8" and 1/8" to 1/4"). It also comes with a universal holder and strong rubber bands, what makes it possible to attach it basically everywhere.

Product Safety Information
Eurorack & Desktop / Standalone DIY Kits
1. Eurorack DIY Kits
Important Notice & Intended Use
Please read this safety guide before installation or use. This kit is intended for adult users experienced in electronics and modular synthesis. Assembly, including soldering, is required. Proper testing and installation are essential to ensure safe and functional operation. The completed module is intended for installation in a Eurorack-compatible synthesizer system powered by ±12V and +5V.
General Warnings
1.1. Electrical Hazards:
• Ensure the power supply matches the module’s specified voltage and current ratings (refer to the product manual). Incorrect voltage can damage the module and pose a safety risk.
• Never connect or disconnect the module while the Eurorack system is powered on.
• Wrong polarity can damage your module or system. Make sure the module is connected with correct polarity.
1.2. Heat Generation:
• The module may generate heat during operation. Ensure proper ventilation within your Eurorack case to prevent overheating.
1.3. Sharp Edges:
• The module’s faceplate and components may have sharp edges. Handle with care to avoid cuts or scratches.
1.4. Small Parts:
• Contains small parts that could cause a choking hazard. Keep away from children and pets.
1.5. Compatibility:
