Item specifics
Condition: NewTheremaniacs: Real Analog Theremin
 We use genuine inductor coils in the classic Theremin design. Digital is great for TV and MP3 but not for a Theremin!
 All other similar and lower cost Theremins use harsh sounding Integrated Circuit 'chip' designs. The operating principal is essentially the same between the two but Digital Theremins have unusual overtones that sound like someone is singing along off key.
Digital Theremins will allow 18 inches of playspace. Theremaniacs Analog Theremins give you several FEET!
 
 
*****HEAR THE DIFFERENCE!*****

The following two sound samples show the low tone ability of digital versus analog Theremins!

Theremaniacs Analog Theremin with EFFECT added
 
 

Digital and analog Theremins have differing waveforms. Low tone generation is very important to the quality of a Theremin design. Not only can you see the difference but you can also hear it!

 Some Digital Theremins are advertised as Analog! Analog Theremins will have oscillator coils. Digital and Optical 'Theremins' that show a nice looking wave form are simply audio oscillators. It is the combination of two radio frequency signals that create a complex and musically rich wave that will not sound harsh or 'sterile'.

 
It's the circuit INSIDE that makes the difference to give 3 feet of range!

Some questions to consider when comparing Theremins.

  • There are lots of cheap digital Theremins available. If you want an Analog Theremin because it sounds better, ask if it has inductor coils. Only true Theremins have these parts!

  • If it plugs into an AC outlet, is it UL approved?

  • Are there any unusual or special parts used that are available only from the manufacturer and what is the guarantee?

  • Is there a sound file? If not, ask for one. Only analog Theremins give great low tones!
  • Is the product compliant under Code of Federal Regulations FCC Part 15? All Theremins are radio frequency transmitters. The manufacturer must have the circuit tested in a Government approved lab. (Yes, we did that!)

    This auction is for one completely assembled "plug and play" Theremaniacs Theremin! Theremin plugs into an amplifier with a standard 1/4 inch guitar cord. It will sit quietly until your hand is about three feet away. As your hand comes nearer to the antenna, the pitch gradually becomes higher until it is inaudible. Covers 7 octaves - from soaring high notes through great growling lows.

    Theremin is powered by a quality 9 volt alkaline (included). AC adapters will add hum and instability so we only use pure DC battery power! . One alkaline battery will last about 500 hours (several years of average use) and is easy to replace. The sound does not suffer as battery power is consumed during use. Draws only 1 milliamp, far less than ordinary effects pedal. Set it up anywhere you want!

    Theremin is assembled from common components without the use of esoteric parts that may be unobtainable in the future. We do not sand off part numbers! Some manufacturers will hide the component values they use by obliterating the markings making future repairs impossible!

  • All high quality components and construction featuring a laser etched professional quality circuit board with genuine Inductor Coils in a classic Dual Oscillator Heterodyne design - Real Theremin sound and playability!

  • Changeable output sound from mellow to coarse.

  • Variable operating frequency and external sensitivity control.

  • Only THEREMANIACS GENUINE THEREMINS are guaranteed for parts and workmanship for as long as you own the instrument!

  • PRODUCT OPTION AVAILABLE! You can choose from: Screw thread Microphone Stand Mounting, or rubber foot table top style!

  • METAL thread microphone stand mounting will fit ALL mic stands. (Sorry, stand not included!)

    A wiggling motion of the hand produces a vibrato effect.
    Input to a reverb, echo unit, flanger, or others will create wild effects!
    Run this through an effects rack and you will be amazed at your sonic creations!

    Theremaniacs Theremins ~ Available World-Wide since 1993!
    My product was featured at the 1997 International Theremin Festival and in
    'Electronic Musician' Magazine
    (December 1999 - as one of 29 great gift ideas!)
    Used by people across the globe
    including the band
    'Smashmouth' on 'The Tonight Show'! (6-13-00)

    There are a number of "theremins" on the market that include a volume control antenna mounted 6 inches away from the pitch antenna - yet they claim 2 or 3 feet of playing range. It stands to reason that manipulation of the volume antenna circuit will alter the pitch of the Theremin unless the range of the unit is less than 6 inches. It is impossible to play anything on a Theremin that has 5 or more octaves that occur in a space of only 6 inches! This is why I offer a pitch style Theremin with three feet of playing range. There is more space between the notes. It allows best sounding and playing unit for the money.

    All low cost two antenna Theremin designs will have the volume circuit interact in a negative way with the pitch circuit and this results in poor sound. This is why standard volume manipulation provides far better sound at a greatly reduced price.
