Microphonic Soundbox mk2 is a versatile sound design instrument.

• The amplifier circuitry in mk2 has even better audio quality and extended frequency range now.
• Soundbox mk2 is a super low noise and top quality amp for any kind of contact mics!
• The power supply unit has a new battery management circuit and switches the LED from blue to red when battery goes under 7 volt (still hours left then).
• The Kalimba features now 5 strips and is mounted on a universal threaded M3 strip, so it can be exchanged against whatever you want, using standard M3 screws.
• On the left side we have integrated a threaded M3 strip over the whole length and we include an additional wood piece, which allows to mount a big range of sound-generating objects plus 2 additional thumb screws M3x12mm.
• Mk2 has two outputs: one mixes both amp-channels together, if the other one is used additionally, channels are sent to the outs separately.
• The Soundbox is now a hub for external contact mics: By the two outs you are able to use the external input on a separate out and can still play the Soundbox via the other channel.
• The output stage features an attenuator now, which makes it possible to use the Soundbox with more sensitive audio interfaces and consumer equipment. We also sell cables here separately.

Addition 1: fully shielded Contact Microphones (picture) for usage with the external input can be found in our shop here.

Addition 2: We recommend to get the violin bow and rosin for being able to play it properly. It will extend the sound possibilities like crazy.

Addition 3: The add-on pack is not needed, as you can basically mount everything on the box but it's a good starting point for your own ideas.

Free download: You can download a Live-Set for Ableton Live here to get started with performing with the box. It's exactly the Live-Set we used in the old product video.

DIY Info: There's no DIY version anymore from mk2 on. If you are looking for the assembly manual and videos guide of the mk1 version, use the link.

*B-Stock units, sold at a reduced price, contain some small optical or technical inaccuracies which you should accept. Therefore the price is hot. Typically it's some wood mistakes or one channel distorts more quickly when you turn up gain, such things. We won't sell total rubbish here!

Our add-on pack is not necessary to have, you could also collect found items by yourself and mount it on the Soundbox. But it might give you some ideas what to do with the Microphonic Soundbox and get you started.

If you want to play the Microphonic Soundbox, we recommend to additionally buy the violin bow and rosin for being able to play it properly and get a much wider range of tones out of it.

With this cable you could use both 6,3mm outputs of Microphonic Soundbox and send it to a stereo 3,5mm (TRS) input of devices like 1010music Blackbox etc. If you need other cables, please check our cable section.
