Octant: eight channels for the electrical hiss
A hobby-electronics project documents a planned eight-channel recorder and invites visitors to judge fifteen clips for voice-like sounds.
- For
- Electronics hobbyists and listeners testing EVP claims
- Worth noticing
- The boards are manufactured, but the case is unbuilt and no recording session has taken place.
Field notes
The documentation walks through the signal chain, detectors, circuits, enclosure, and software, with links between the design brief and supporting experiments. It identifies radio pickup, hearing apparent words in noise, and speech-recognition output as ordinary explanations to examine. The enclosure has a detailed CAD model and cutting drawings, but its electrical joints still require measurement; the author also says any private conversation captured in future recordings would be excerpted or withheld.
