Read this before first use
- Never open or disassemble the sensors. There are no user-serviceable parts inside, and opening them voids the warranty.
- Protect the sensors from water and moisture. They are not waterproof. If they get damp, let them dry fully at room temperature before using them again.
- Handle the plastic case with care. Use only the Uši mount with the lyre for mounting — other mounts may damage the case.
- Mind the temperature. Operate only between −10 °C and +55 °C, and don't leave the sensors in direct sun or a parked car.
- Protect your hearing. Electromagnetic signals can jump in level without warning — when monitoring on headphones, start at low volume and raise it gradually.
Will it work with my setup?
Elektrouši are fully passive — they generate a faint signal that needs a microphone preamplifier. Two ways to use them: plug them into the input of an Elektrosluch 2, 3, or 3+ for handheld listening with an extended sensing range, or connect them straight to the 3.5 mm stereo microphone input of a portable recorder. Plug-in power inputs are fine — the sensors don't need the power, but it does them no harm.
Quick start
- Plug Elektrouši into the Elektrosluch input, or into your recorder's 3.5 mm stereo mic input.
- Set your gain: start low and raise it until the fields you're exploring sit at a healthy level.
- Move the sensors close to electronics, power supplies, motors, displays, or transit infrastructure — the electromagnetic fields around them are the signal. Being a stereo pair, the two sensors can frame a source from different sides for a spatial image.
Mounting
Elektrouši can be mounted with the Uši mount — but only the lyre version, and even then take care not to stress the plastic case. See the FAQ.
Elektrouši listen to the inaudible electromagnetic side of the world: electronics, power lines, motors, displays, and transit systems. Compared to Priezor's ambient response, Elektrouši are more directional — better suited to pinpointing and framing individual sources — and, like Elektrosluch, they work in stereo. Paired with an Elektrosluch they extend its reach into spots the device itself can't go; paired with a recorder they turn any plug-in-power input into an electromagnetic stereo rig. See the differences between the electromagnetic instruments.
Storage. Keep the sensors in a closed case or pouch, away from dust and humidity. Coil the cable loosely — sharp bends shorten its life.
Cleaning. Wipe the plastic bodies with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Never use solvents.
Moisture. The sensors are not waterproof. If they get damp, let them dry fully at room temperature before the next session.
- No sound, or a very quiet signal → Elektrouši are passive and output a faint, microphone-level signal: make sure you're in a mic (not line) input and give it generous gain.
- Only one channel records → check the minijack is fully seated and the recorder isn't set to mono.
- Hum and buzz everywhere → that's not a fault — mains hum and switching noise are the electromagnetic landscape the sensors are built to reveal. Move the sensors, and the character changes.
