The Rare Waves Photophone OCM-2 is a new type of analog audio transducer. It does not use sound waves but light to pick up stereo sound from vibrating surfaces, especially if they are reflective. In this video you can see me trying it out on a variety of things, from cheese graters to tape machines to kalimbas and guitar. I suggest you listen to this on headphones or good speakers so you can hear the lovely low end.
