Our story

We've been building contact microphones since the early 1990's. It started as an art school thing; we had heaps of sonic & conceptual ideas but not the financial means or access to what could be called "proper" tools. This resulted in frequent trips to thrift stores, dumpsters, and if we had a little extra cash, Radio Shack - anything it took to get our projects and up and running and sounding cool. Our DIY approach continued to evolve over the years, both as a sound-making artist and as a technician working for audio component manufacturers. The combination of experimental tinkering and professional employment eventually led to developing our own product line of microphones; not only were we using these devices for recordings and on tour, there were also a growing number of inquiries on how to purchase them.
