Kontakt.cOW / Active Magnetic Condenser Contact Microphone

Discover the hidden sonic world inside everyday objects. This handcrafted active magnetic condenser contact microphone allows almost any surface or structure to become a unique musical instrument.

Designed for musicians, sound designers, field recordists, and experimental audio artists, this microphone captures deep vibrations, micro-sounds, textures, and subtle details that standard microphones can easily miss.

The microphone is encased in durable NBR rubber and features a built-in magnet for quick and secure attachment to metal surfaces.
