From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A contact microphone is a form of
microphone designed not for picking up airborne sound waves,
but rather to act as a
transducer which picks up
vibrations through solid materials and converts them into
audible sound. Often used as an
acoustic leakage probe, and known by the more technical term
as a 'piezoelectric
vibration transducer'. It also has been widely used as an
instrument by 'noise
music' artists.
