What is it?

This electronic circuit detects changes in local electro-magnetic fields and converts them to human-audible sounds.

Electro-magnetic fields are all around us, but are usually invisible and silent. This detector uses two inductors to give a stereo audio output of the noise created by electro-magnetic fields.

This is useful for investigating electronic circuits, checking power supplies and investigating the unseen world around us.

This kit includes a high-quality PCB, all the components, an enclosure and a pair of in-ear earphones.

This is an easy kit to build and should take in the region of 1 hour to construct.

**Note:* The sensors need to be close to the device being measured (touching the outer sheath of a cable for example). The output totally depends upon the EMF field so the stronger the field, the louder the sounds.*
