Hear it before you build it

A taste of what the EMF Explorer Badge sounds like, an interactive way to explore frequencies in your browser, and the full illustrated zine.

Interactive frequency monitor

Plug your EMF Explorer into your computer with a 3.5mm TRS to USB-C microphone input cable, then use the embedded app below to see the frequencies it's hearing in real time. Requires microphone access - your browser will prompt you to allow it.

If the embedded app doesn't load (some browsers block embedded microphone access), open it directly:

The EMF Explorer Zine is a hand-illustrated companion to the badge - covering the science, the build, and the world of signals worth exploring.
