LeafAudio - Contact Microphone
available
This is the new 2025 contact mic version. With a contact microphone, any surface or object becomes a canvas for sonic exploration. Unlike traditional recording methods that capture sound waves traveling through air, contact microphones pick up vibrations directly from materials – allowing you to "listen" to objects, plants, or even soil from the inside out. This unique perspective unlocks a world of intriguing and sometimes abstract sounds, making it an essential tool for experimental recording and sound design. The 2025 edition of LeafAudio’s popular contact microphone has been completely re-engineered for maximum flexibility and features full electrical shielding for optimal performance.This upgraded model comes in a set with a durable neoprene zip-bag, ensuring safe transport while providing space for all included accessories. Thanks to its universal clamp mechanism and strong rubber bands, it can be mounted on almost any surface. Additionally, the newly developed probe mechanism — created in collaboration with sound designer Robert Dudzic — lets you capture sounds even from inside objects, soil, and more, expanding the creative possibilities even further.Equipped with a high-quality 2m (6.5ft) SC-Onyx Tynee cable by Sommer Cable, the microphone is available in two versions: one with a 3.5mm (1/8") Amphenol connector and another with a 6.3mm (1/4") Hicon connector. Includes:• Contact microphone• Neoprene zip-bag• Universal holder• Probe mechanism• 2 rubber bands• Allen key

LeafAudio - Microphonic Playground
available
Microphonic Playground is the newest addition in our series of sound design instruments. Like its bigger sister, the Microphonic Soundbox, it's a playground for sonic exploration of any kind. It can also be your inexpensive entry into the Soundbox world before you possibly upgrade later.It works through body sound transmission on basis of a contact microphone. In comparison to airborne sound transmission (via a microphone), all sounds created on the box can be listened to in a very intimate and direct way. Imagine it like listening to the materials from the inside, very much in an ASMR way.The difference to the Microphonic Soundbox are two things:1) It is passive, has no active amplification and needs no power supply.2) It's an open playground with no audio sources or objects built into it, so you are free to attach everything to it what you can imagine.To get you started with ideas we now offer a variety of add-ons, that can be used with both the Microphonic Soundbox and the Microphonic Playground.The unit has an audio input and an output. Its audio output can be amplified by the external input of a Microphonic Soundbox and therefore act as an extension. Or it can be amplified by any pre-amplifier, mixing desk or audio interface. Multiple Playgrounds can be cascaded in series. Play it on its own, or extend your Microphonic Soundbox with one or two Playgrounds and some of the new add-ons.You're free to use it as a platform for sonic experimentation or just convert it into a Bass Kalimba, for example, and leave it that way. Please choose your own way to play with it and let your imagination and creativity guide you.Features:• built in contact microphone• passive, no power supply needed• many mounting possibilities for add-ons through five threaded M3 strips• universal wooden object holder on the side• four M3 thumb screws included• 1 audio input, 1 audio output• multiple units can be linked• soft rubber feet• 162 mm x 147 mm x 60 mm (w/d/h)• 0,244 kg

LeafAudio - Microphonic Soundbox mk2
available
The Microphonic Soundbox is an instrument for experimental sound creation. It features a resonant wooden body equipped with contact microphones, battery-powered low-noise preamps and a variety of sound-generating surfaces, including springs, rods, textured panels and a kalimba. Use it standalone to create textures and samples or pair it with delay and loop-based effects for evolving soundscapes.The Instrument features a range of playable surfaces and objects that allow the creation of unheard sounds and textures. The main components are:• Two metal rods – you can excite them with a stick or similar to get bell-like sounds, or play them with a bow to create ethereal–metallic tones. Pitching recordings down reveals deep metallic drones.• Three metal springs – pluck, pull or whip them to produce vintage reverb-like spring sounds.• Sandpaper surface – scratch it with different objects and materials to create sounds ranging from soft whispering to harsh scraping noises.• Kalimba with 5 strips – play harmonic melodies or use the freely tunable mechanism to explore microtonal tunings. Transposing these recordings down can create low bass patterns.The Soundbox is designed to be modular, featuring M3 threaded strips that allow additional objects to be attached using thumb screws.To pick up the vibrations created by the surfaces and objects, two contact microphones are built into the instrument. One is placed at the centre for the kalimba, rods, springs and sandpaper. The second is positioned at the side to capture sounds from attached objects.The internal preamp is specially designed to amplify contact microphones, delivering low-noise amplification with precise detail – allowing you to boost even the smallest and quietest objects and turn them into cinematic, gigantic soundscape.Two Channels, One Input, Two OutputsThe Microphonic Soundbox offers two independent amplifier channels and a 1/4″ input for external contact microphones, enabling extended routing options. The Microphonic Playground can serve as an extension as well to multiply your sonic possibilities.Output 1 provides a mono mix of both channels. Using Output 2 alongside Output 1 splits the channels, allowing the Soundbox to be played on one output while the second one functions as an amplifier for an external contact microphone.Expand the Soundbox with Add-ons for New Sonic DimensionsThe Microphonic Soundbox is designed for experimentation and for playing with different objects, materials and surfaces. You are free to use whatever you like to develop your own signature sounds. To help you get started, we’ve developed several Add-on Packs that create interesting sounds straight out of the box.Features:• Two channels with internal contact microphones• Battery powered low noise pre-amps (~100x / ~40dB Gain)• Two outputs: mixed mono or channels separated• Channel one can act as pre-amp for external input• Multifunctional holder, based on M3 threaded strips (left side & under Kalimba)• Removable Kalimba• Soundbox is a hub for external contact mics: use channel 1 as pre-amp on out 1 while play the actual Soundbox on out 2• Output features an attenuator switch• Power management switches the LED from blue to red when battery goes under 7 volt• Soft grip rubber feet for acoustic decoupling• Removable metal rods which come in a plastic tube which is great for transpor
