Bringing these microphones closer to an electronic device will transport you into a world of electronic sound, on the picture, an electric fence.
What is an Electromagnetic Field Microphone ?
An electromagnetic field microphone is designed to capture signals that are inaudible to the human ear : electromagnetic waves. These fields can be generated by common electronic devices (phones, computers, high-voltage power lines) for exemple.
The Use of Hydrophones
- Sound Art and Experimental Music
Sound designers and audio artists use EMF microphones to create unique sound textures. These microphones allow us to reveal the “voices” of technological objects, transforming the noise of a Wi-Fi network or an engine into abstract compositions. - Soundscape Recording
Soundscapes are not limited to the audible world. EMF microphones add a new dimension to environmental recordings by capturing the electromagnetic vibrations of human infrastructures. - Scientific Research
These microphones are invaluable for researchers in electromagnetism or acoustics.

Features and Tips
Although EMF microphones work ingeniously, they also have some technical limitations :
- Limited registration field
EMF microphones are specially designed to operate in a specific field. - Identify Electromagnetic Sources
Power lines, electronic devices, antennas, and even some materials can emit interesting fields to explore. The only way to discover them is by pointing the device to identify electromagnetic sources.
New Sound Perspectives
Electromagnetic field microphones offer a unique way to reimagine our perception of sound and the environment. By capturing the invisible, they remind us that our world is full of unexpected vibrations, waiting to be explored.
