Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike a contact mic which relies on physical contact, the Geophone L senses vibrations through the ground, providing a broader, more nuanced low-frequency response.
Given the high impedance, a clean, low-noise preamp with a high input impedance (at least 10k Ohms) is crucial to avoid signal loss and maintain clarity.
Yes, it's excellent for capturing the subtle vibrations of footsteps or other impacts, but be mindful of electromagnetic interference and potential noise from nearby equipment.
