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.

This is the blog of the band gebrochene augen.  The intent is to share the journey of creating a new album from ideas and inspiration to programming and track layout.  The foundation for this work will be centered around an electrical device my late father developed and made; the Transient Audio Detector (TAD).  This device detects and transmit an audio signal from Inferred (IR) and Electromagnetic (EM) sources.

Stay tuned!! More information to be shared on the device and starting points.
