Otto Spy Speaker

Every object and surface in our environment has a whisper; subtle tremors and vibrations that are usually undetectable to the human ear, produced by the activity and movement of daily life.

What if these sounds were audible? How would that change our aural awareness, perception of space and attitude towards objects? Would it be possible to ‘compose’ our own soundtrack using our walls and objects as a new form of instruments? Madsounds is a proposal for a different appreciation of our environment, space and objects by making it possible to identify, combine and manipulate these sounds.

The Otto may look like one of those suction cup gadgets that turns any surface into a sound generating speaker, but it’s actually more like a stethoscope than a speaker. If you latch it onto a window, a wall or a glass of ice water, you can hear “subtle tremors and vibrations.

arrived to me! It is called ?Rode Podcaster? and it is broadcasting quality microphone made by company that makes usually studio microphones. Interestingly it is ?Made in Australia? - my first Oz-made gadget! Below on the photo you can see that it is not small - it is quite huge - it lies on my old Tablet PC and nearby MS Smartphone is lying for size comparison sake. The audio quality is incredibly high and the only ?problem? is ?p-sounds? that means that ?p? somethings is too loud and ?p-filter? should solve it. I know that even users of professional microphones use p-filters so it?s natural. Anyway: this Rode Podcaster is the best USB microphone on this planet - I was trying several ones and this one has the best sound.

?

Now I will be able to record podcasts with audio quality not lower than this one offered by professional studios in radio and TV stations?
