Hi

After reading here about using phototransistors for EVP and seeing the article here:

http://archive.atransc.org/aaevp_news/2007_aaevp_news/spring_2007.htm

I decided to give it a go.

I have the exact same recorder and so have copied exactly what the author did.

One discovery I have made is that the set up still can record audio! now, I am not sure if this is due to the internal microphone not being fully out of the circuit or if the phototransistor actually picks up audio.

Strange as it might seem I think it is the latter!

Here is a test I just made so you can judge.

Starts off with me speaking into the set up.

Then I hold the sensor in sunlight, compact fluorescent light, ambient room daylight, torch light.

Interesting that sun light seems to produce a more soft sound!

I shall be making some tests under differing light sources soon.
