The Leaf Audio Contact Microphone is a high-performance, re-engineered device designed for capturing vibrations directly from surfaces and materials, featuring a fully shielded construction and a versatile probe mechanism.

Re-engineered for Optimal Performance

The 2025 edition of the Leaf Audio Contact Microphone has undergone a complete redesign to enhance its flexibility and overall performance. The microphone now features full electrical shielding, ensuring minimal interference and optimum signal quality, making it a reliable tool for experimental recording and sound design. The device is built with precision to capture both subtle and intricate vibrations from a wide range of materials.

Universal Clamp Mechanism and Secure Mounting

Equipped with a universal clamp mechanism, the microphone attaches securely to a wide variety of surfaces. This feature is paired with durable rubber bands, allowing users to mount the microphone to both rigid and non-rigid materials, enhancing its adaptability in diverse sound exploration environments. The versatile mounting system facilitates seamless integration with different recording setups.

Innovative Probe Mechanism

The newly developed probe mechanism, created in collaboration with sound designer Robert Dudzic, significantly expands the microphone's creative possibilities. This innovation allows users to capture sound vibrations not only from surfaces but also from within objects, soil, and other internal spaces. The probe's design opens up new avenues for sonic exploration, making it a powerful tool for capturing otherwise elusive sound signatures.

High-Quality Cable and Connectors

The Leaf Audio Contact Microphone includes a 2m (6.5ft) SC-Onyx Tynee cable by Sommer Cable, ensuring high-quality transmission with minimal signal loss. Users can choose between two connector options: a 3.5mm (1/8") Amphenol connector or a 6.3mm (1/4") Hicon connector, providing flexibility for integration into various audio systems and setups. The durable cable ensures long-lasting performance in both studio and field conditions.

Complete Set for Safe Transport and Easy Setup

To safeguard the microphone and its accessories, Leaf Audio provides a neoprene zip-bag, designed for durability and convenient storage. The bag offers sufficient space for all included accessories, including the universal holder, probe mechanism, rubber bands, and an Allen key for easy adjustments. This comprehensive set makes it simple to transport and set up the microphone, whether in a studio or on location.
