On October 16th - 17th 2025, Notam invites you to a new workshop in contact microphones.
If you're curious about alternative microphone techniques, Notam's contact microphone workshop could be for you. Contact microphones, or piezo microphones as they are also known, are an exciting tool with many possibilities for creative work with sound. Contact microphones can be difficult to use for beginners, and the idea behind this workshop is to give participants a simple but thorough introduction to contact microphones.
In this workshop, we will review different types of contact microphones, preamps and microphone placements. We will also look at how we can extend this work with software, acoustic measurements and impulse responses. By the end of this workshop, you will have created a working contact microphone and preamplifier, ready to use for your projects.
