Description

The 2025 edition LeafAudio Pro Contact Microphone has been completely re-engineered for greater flexibility and optimal performance. Full electrical shielding ensures a cleaner signal, while the included neoprene zip bag keeps the microphone and accessories safely stored and ready to travel.

Unlike traditional recording methods that capture sounds through the air, contact microphones pick up vibrations directly from materials – allowing you to ‘listen’ to objects, plants, or even soil from the inside out. This unique perspective unlocks a world of intriguing and sometimes abstract sounds, making it an essential tool for experimental recording and sound design.

Thanks to its universal clamp mechanism and strong rubber bands, it can be mounted on almost any surface. Additionally, the newly developed probe mechanism – created in collaboration with sound designer Robert Dudzic – lets you capture sounds even from inside objects, soil, and more, expanding the creative possibilities even further. A new addition to the package is the inclusion of a magnetic ring attachment helping to simplify mounting onto magnetic surfaces.

Equipped with a high-quality 2 m (6.5 ft) SC-Onyx Tynee cable by Sommer Cable, the microphone is available in two versions: one with a 3.5 mm (1/8″) Amphenol connector and another with a 6.3 mm (1/4″) Hicon connector.
