Theremin 006

This model has a built-in volume plate antenna as well as a fancy-looking main pitch antenna.
It will also generate an audio sine wave sound oscillation covering the full audio spectrum range. The volume plate antenna gives the musician hands-on opportunity to express what's unique in making interesting sounds, eg. as found when playing with two hands: one for pitch, the other for volume.
Only a little perseverance is required to realise the device's potential as a useful addition to those collective tools that make impressive & unique musical-type sounds. It will also plug into sample unit, mixer desk or general HI-FI system.

An even more spectacular case has been designed and colors can be customised to your requirements including glitter effects which really stand out for use on Stage,or fluorescent colors which glow under UV lighting.

HOW TO USE THEREMIN 006

(1)Theremin 006 can be run from battery 9-Volts or from a mains 9-Volt Power Pack

(2)To run from Battery. Use a 9-Volt radio- Battery or 8.4-Volt rechargeable.Plug the battery adaptor which comes with the Theremin into the small(3.5mm)metal socket at the back of the theremin.Now connect the battery to the adaptor.It is a good idea to hold the battery onto the adaptor by using a rubber band to prevent it coming loose.Do not plug or unplug the adaptor from the theremin with the battery connected, always remove the battery first.

(3) To run the theremin from a 9-volt regulated mains adaptor. Make sure that the mains adaptor is of the regulated kind,as unregulated ones often give poor sound quality. If the mains adaptor has a 'spider connector'with 4 plugs on it, find the right one to fit the small metal(3.5mm)socket on the back of the theremin.Otherwise fit a 3.5mm plug onto the adaptor with positive connected to the outer sleeve,and plug this in. Make sure the outer connection is positive. Before plugging or unplugging the powerpack to the theremin, make sure it is not connected to mains power.

(4)Connect the Theremin to your Sound System by a standard 1/4"(6mm) jack plug with a screened audio lead.Adjust the volume control.

(5)Face the Theremin with two controls to the right of the Antenna and one control to the left of the antenna.Turn each control up about a quarter turn from fully anti-clockwise.

(6)The control to the far right is the 'trim' control.By turning this you may get Theremin Sound, if not turn up the middle control which is called the 'response control'.

(7)The control on the left is called the 'range control'. By adjusting it carefully you should be able to hear a sound from the speakers or headphones.When you hear this sound,adjust the trim control to give a varying tone which responds to the hand waved near the pitch antenna.

(8)The 'Volume Antenna' is hidden inside a bulge on the left of the Theremin body.By bringing your left hand near this bulge the volume will change.

(9)With your hand away from the volume antenna,adjust the range- control so that when it is turned clockwise the sound ONLY JUST disappears. Now by bringing your hand near the volume antenna the sound should come louder(though it may become quiet again if you bring your hand very close)You can also experiment with the range-control and find a position where it reverses and becomes louder with your hand away from it and quiet with your hand near. You may also find a position where,by tapping the volume antenna gently with your fingers you can play percussive sounds and bass- lines.

(10)Adjust the trim control so that with your hand away from the pitch antenna a low pitch is produced which rises in pitch as you bring your right hand near to the pitch antenna.This may need re-adjustment if there are temperature changes or if the battery is either very new or is running down.Alkaline Batteries appear to be the most stable,and rechargeable ones can also be good. Temperature changes can be caused by draughts or by bright lights.
(11)Remove the battery when not in use.
