Interesting experimental device

Alekarfes 15.01.2020

When I heard about Soma Ether, it reminded me of transhumanists implanting magnets in their bodies - a device to grant a brand new sense for a human being. And I was not wrong.

Ether allows me to get a taste of the world that is hidden in plain sight - all the sounds are actually there, we just can't hear them normally. I can hear a clock on the other side of the wall, I can hear when a tram accelerates, I can hear wires in my walls. All the lamps, all the electric devices become things I can feel.

I feel a little bit deaf when I'm without Ether.

Very niceee ( with borat voice )

dlask 07.08.2024

Compared to other Wide-Band Receivers i believe its the best price, the battery lasts for years from what it seems.
Also i want to say that "It can take a hit" i mean its sturdy enough to fall without breaking.
Coming back to the sounds it can make, they are very nice even raw straight to the headphones also something to be careful about is using somewhat good cables because some can bring interference.
Come close to phones, routers, lambs even touch the front pins on sheet metal, metal polls outside, trashcans whatever.
Also buy some cable and strip the ends and touch it lick it, anything that comes to mind.
I tried passing one pin through resistor,pots, and also try playing with it on modular stuff.
Ultra nice even for walks ! Forget about Spotify and your phone take your headphones and take a walk, i even slept once with it.
Thanks Soma !

Portable noise radio

an-tre 08.11.2022

Ether is surprisingly small and light, and does what is was designed to do.
It works well with headphones (A-T ATH-M60x), but when attached to a portable recorder (Tascam DR-22WL, phone) a constant hum is always present. Maybe changing the length of the connecting cable will help.
Also, the case is made of plastic, and to replace the batteries one must unscrew 4 screws - hopefully the batteries will last long, or the screw holes will not!

Great machine to find and record electromagnetic noise

Tony Amsterdam 24.09.2022

The Soma Ether is a great machine to find and record unexpected electromagnetic noises, as a basis for your samples or background sounds. The little machine is portable and can be hooked up with a recording device. You will find amazing sounds just by pointing this unit to lightbulbs, hard drives, mobile phones etc. The build is a bit plasticky, but sturdy enough for mobile use.
