MO-64: Super High Sensitivity Contact Microphone

The Sanken MO-64 microphone was originally designed for the purpose of academic

research. The MO-64 has a very special contact point, and through it can detect sounds

which are inaudible to the human ear, such as the sound of an ant’s footsteps and the

heart beat of a snail.

Due to its high sensitivity, the applications for this product are quite diverse. It can hear

the vibration of a building wall, can be used for the detection of termites, for research of

old trees and medical usage. Various documentary productions have used the MO-64

for the recording of insect activity.
