ABSTRACT:
In a contact mike, a pair of coils are formed so as to be directly connected to the resonating surface of a musical instrument or other vibrating object. The coils are coaxial and oppositely wound such that a single space is defined at their common center. A magnet is resiliently suspended within the coils and is resiliently isolated from the vibration of the resonating surface. Since the coils vibrate in the vicinity of the magnet, which remains relatively stationary due to its own inertia, an alternating current is induced in the coils which anologues the vibrations of the surface. In one embodiment the resonating member of the instrument itself is used to form part of the resilient connection between the magnet and the coil.
