Introduction to the TAD-7

The Transient Audio detector (TAD-7) is a device that is designed to pick up V/IR and EMF signals and then convert the signals to an audio signal.  There is a selector switch to determine the origin of the signal (EMF or V/IR). power switch, detector diode, and 1/8" mono audio output jack.  The unit runs of a single 9VDC battery.

The idea is to point the device, detector, to an area of interest. For example, if using the V/IR one can point the device at a pool of water or clouds and the detector picks up the signal then transmits an audio signal to the 1/8" output jack.  From the jack you can connect speakers or a recorder.  The output is the audio signal of the frequency or energy of the light wave received at the detector.

This is the device that I will use to collect audio samples, the basis for the tracks within song.
