GaussMaster
EMF Meter with Sound
This little meter measures the level of ELF magnetic field radiation from power lines, computers, kitchen appliances, and more! The easy to read scale, unique built-in audio signal and auto shut-off make it simple to use and a great way to find hidden sources of ELF frequency magnetic fields.
Most experts agree that chronic exposure to more than 2.5 milli-Gauss is inadvisable. This meter will show you which areas are above or below 2.5 milli-Gauss in the 50 - 60 Hz frequency range.
Hand-held, lightweight and durable, with two easy to read scales (0-1 mG, & 0-10 mG), and dramatic audio signal. Our favorite meter for demonstrating the presence of dangerous EMFs to others and paranormal work. Requires one 9V battery (not included). Calibrated at 50-60 Hz.

•Uses standard 9V battery (included)
To measure AC Magnetic Fields (what some people mean when they say "EMF"), from powerlines, wiring, lighting and appliances we use a gaussmeter. Gauss meters measure the strength of the magnetic field at the location of the meter. Because magnetic fields are oriented in space, the position of the meter will affect the reading (see discussion of 1 axis vs. 3-axis meters). Gaussmeters, also called Teslameters, can also be used to locate the source of a field, and to measure the performance of magnetic shielding.
The main features to consider when choosing a gauss meter are:
- Readout type: lights, sound, numbers, needle gauge
- Range: how sensitive on the low end, and the upper limit on the high end
- Axis: 1-axis only, 3-axis only, switchable 1-axis and 3-axis
- Accuracy: While high accuracy is desirable, it is not often necessary for locating "hot spots".
- Outputs: voltage output or PC interface for data logging
- Frequency weighting: see the short video on frequency weighting.

Common ELF magnetic field frequencies are within the range of human hearing. This simple set up converts the AC magnetic signal directly into a dramatic corresponding sound signal. A 60 Hz powerline field sounds like a 60 Hz hum (a low note on piano keyboard). Harmonics can easily be heard, as well as clicks, static, and hash. LED displays are especially noisy. The strength of the field is proportional to loudness.
Unit includes a single axis probe on 2 foot cable and audio amplifier. You can even use an optional earphone/headset for discreet operation. Use it to “sniff out” sources of interference, offending EMF, check shielding designs. Makes a great educational tool. Requires one 9V battery.
Completely Unique! Hear the VLF Signals in your Vicinity!
VLF signals (kHz range) occur naturally and can be produced by lightning, solar flares, and aurora. They can also be man-made, emitting from smart meters, solar power inverters, dimmer switches, motors, and fluorescent lights.
Use this portable VLF band radio to listen to the natural sounds of the earth. Lightning, whistlers, tweaks and auroral chorus can be heard from more than 3200km on the built in speaker or by using the included ear buds. Sounds can be recorded directly to a computer for analysis or future playback. Perfect for creative listening, storm chasers, researchers and paranormal investigators. It’s like a buzz stick for dirty electricity as well.
A high quality audio chip set gives the best sound experience possible. The revolutionary loop antenna allows the unit to be truly portable for field work, or for instant listening pleasure in the home. Separate controls for receiver power and audio volume allow for optimal adjustment to any application. An audio output jack allows for the use of headphones, connection to a computer audio line-in or sophisticated recording devices such as oscilloscopes and data acquisition systems. For long term recording, an external power adapter connection is provided.
Covers 600 Hz to 35 kHz, very intuitive and extremely simple to use. Great for demonstrating the benefits of dirty electricity filters. There is nothing else like it!
Equipment Set-Up for Analyzing Frequencies from 0-60 Hz
Analyzing frequency information from ultra-low frequency magnetic fields can be extremely challenging. Air coil type magnetic field probes just don't have the necessary sensitivity below about 20 Hz.
The voltage output from our Geomagnetometer (read more) provides excellent frequency information from low frequency signals. The amplified, unrectified, Hall effect probe output retains all the frequency information from the magnetic field under investigation.
Simply connect the voltage output (3.5mm mono jack) from the Geomagnetometer to the oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer and monitor both field strength AND waveform, frequency, and spectrum distribution of your signals. Because the Geomagnetometer output produces 200 mV at full scale, you get plenty of signal to the oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer.
For example, on the 0-2 mG range: 2 mG produces 200 mV output, .05 mG produces 5 mV. On the 0-200 mG range: 200 mG produces 200 mV output, 5 mG produces 5 mV.
In our tests, the actual output range from the Geomagnetomer extends significantly beyond 200 mV, and was useful up to 60 Hz and beyond. Interested in .01 Hz? 2 Hz? 7.8 Hz? No problem! You can analyze fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field, fields from audio recordings, and almost any other ultra-low frequency magnetic field source. Possibly biologic and paranormal sources?
Connect your computer to this meter's output to make a spectrum analyzer (with optional PC Based Oscilloscope)! You can even add the Audio Amplifier to boost weak signals.

These passive magnetic field sensors output AC voltage corresponding to the AC magnetic field strength. The frequency of the AC output voltage is the same as the frequency of the magnetic field. Single-axis, so it responds to fields parallel to the sensor axis. The sensor orientation shows the magnetic field polarization. No battery or power supply is needed.
Connect to a display instrument (not included) such as AC voltmeter, oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer to display the output AC voltage and waveform information. These sensors have no minimum measurable field strength, so the sensitivity will depend on your display instrument. Maximum field: the sensor can be damaged above approximately 50 Volts output. Sensor includes operating instructions.
Frequency Range:
For 5 kHz - 1 MHz, the sensor output voltage is at least 70% of the magnetic field strength in Gauss (Volts/Gauss > 0.7). Sensors can also be used below this frequency range, but will have lower output voltage.
Calibration:
Each individual sensor is tested and recorded to ensure NIST traceable accuracy. Individual calibration data table is delivered with each sensor.

What is the real difference between a single axis and a triple axis gaussmeter?
Because magnetic fields are oriented in space, a sensor will only detect the field properly if it is aligned with the field. A single axis meter has only one sensor in it. Therefore to get a correct reading with this type of meter, you must slowly rotate the meter until you find the maximum reading. This will be the correct reading. If the meter is turned 90° from the maximum reading, it will read nearly zero. It is easy to understand how it is possible to get a lower than actual reading if the meter is not properly aligned.
A three axis meter has 3 sensors in it, all aligned at right angles to each other. Therefore, this type of meter is always correctly aligned and no rotation is required to get a correct reading. This type of meter takes less time to use but generally costs more that its single axis counterpart. See 3-Axis Digital Gaussmeter and Trifield Meter for examples of 3-axis gaussmeters.
