Great! I have been looking for a way to amplify my pager for work while swimming. It does not have a way to hard wire or plug into it. Question: Would there be a way to be "voice activated" not literally voice, but a way it does not make noise unless the pager goes off? So I dont have a ton of background noice to listen to? I just want to be sure I can hear the pager while swimming?
@coondogtheman1234 yeah, it does work, do the setup like he did, to a mini amp(pocket amp) put your headphones into the 1/8 headphone jack in the pocket amp, and plug the transducer into the 1/4th jack and turn up the volume really high and place it on a door or a wall.
*note, will not work on solid walls, or solid wood/concrete/steel doors. drywall yes and hollow doors yes! (I don't know about windows as all of my windows are high in my house)
Very interesting. I'll get some of those piezos for my bass anyway, I guess I'll get me some more and try it with other things... do you know how it sounds when you attach it to a drum?
It can be a very sharp and overdriven sound if too close to where you strike the head, but maybe that's what you were hoping for... placing the buzzer further from the drum head in the body of the drum is probably what you want.
depending on what you want to amplify, the plastic cover may mute a portion of the sound. I can hear my heartbeat with the plastic off, but not with the plastic on.
i got a piezo buzzer and my copper metal disk (pardon my lack of proper terms) is connected to like a small green circut board , should i leave that connected or seperate them and re-solder straight without the circut board?
Thank you for providing me with hours of fun

@The2010SnowDay - I broke case with needle nosed pliers. Brute force. LIKE HULK!

can this be used as a spy device like placing it on a wall and being able to hear people talking in the next room? how about a window?

I think I have a small radio shack pocket amp around here somewhere. I could give this a shot.

what's the point of taking the insides of the buzzer out of the plastic ?
