Principles of Induction and Electromagnetic Listening

Discover the link between the immaterial and the audible. This workshop covers the principles of induction and how they relate to the function of speakers, electromagnets, guitar pickups, and electromagnetic microphones. This session will include live demonstrations, as well as technical and conceptual explanations, of various electromagnetic listening devices built by instructor Miles Scharff. Participants will have the opportunity to build their own electromagnetic microphones by winding their own copper coils and building their own amplifier circuits. All materials required for this build will be provided to participants.
