as part of the new series of 'bang goes the theory', the BBC science series, you can watch Chris Waston as he listens to the sounds of snails, centipedes & maggots using one of my JrF c-series contact microphones.

here's an extract of the centipede recording (thanks to Chris Watson for permission to use this recording here)

the video clip is also available on the BBC's youtube channel:

a sample of customer feedback comments:

(ps. to date I have never received any negative feedback on the quality of the products I make or the service I offer)

'After many months travelling and recording sounds in South America, I am finally back in England and I wanted you to know that your microphones (contact & hydro) have been some of the best companions during my travels. They never let me down and have allowed me to hear and explore worlds I would have never been able to probe otherwise. So, a warm thank you for this!'

'Currently listening to today's d-series hydrophone recordings and I feel like weeping/doing cartwheels. So pristine, the dynamic range, the frequency range, etc. Unbelievable'

'my team just got back from our humpback whales expedition, and the hydrophones you created just made everything easier and more amazing. Hearing the whale songs through the hydrophones itself was a very memorable experience'

'perfect in every way'

'i'm stunned by the quality of these mics'

'these are superb !' (c-cm contact mics)

a member of our studio team recently purchased the Hydrophone D model and a pair of Contact C model microphones from you. We've been absolutely stunned by the quality of the units!

Thank you for creating these amazing microphones at such an affordable price! It was a real blessing that Jari Siili found your website and was able to order them. We look forward to ordering a bunch more microphones from you in the future!

Just let you know your hydrophone is working on a daily basis, and its great. We have had whales singing through our PA systems most days.

Thanks, its great to get some thing that exceeds expectations.

Jez, your mics have inspired.

Charles Lindsay made a nice recording of a bamboo grove in Costa Rica, which you can hear on the link below, using 2 c-series contact mics & commented: ' I'm really impressed with the frequency range of the mics - thank you again - beyond a worthwhile, great addition to my recording arsenal'
