Super-High-Sensitivity Contact Microphone
The Sanken MO-64 contact microphone was originally designed for purposes of academic research, but has found many practical applications in the scientific and medical communities. The microphone has a remarkable contact point design, through which it can detect minute sounds that are virtually inaudible to the human ear, such as an ant’s footsteps or the heart beat of a snail.
Instead of the diaphragms found in conventional microphones, the MO-64 and MO-64B utilize a contact pin. When the contact pin touches a solid surface, it moves with the vibration of the surface and the energy is transferred to a coil. The dynamic microphone transducer mechanism utilizes a coil and magnet, whereby the transferred vibration is converted directly into electrical energy.
