Modules and configurations of acoustic, vibratory mechanisms and electronic circuitry such as transducers and amplifiers. The acoustic or mechanical vibration is transduced into an analogue fluctuation of an electric current. Vibrating bodies of air or vibrating reeds provide input to transducers (microphones or pick-ups). (en)
