Sound trigger for Sigma EF-500 Flash

A description of my home made sound trigger
electronic kit.


The circuit consists of 2 parts. The first part is a very simple microphone pre-amplifier. The second is the light generator, to trig the Flash.
The distance between the microphone and the sound-source is varied, to get a simple timing delay.
This means that the microphone cant be located on the flash. A simple solution would to just put long wires on the microphone. But that would not be a god solution, because the long wire would be susceptible for electic noise. To avoid this the long wire after microphone pre-amplifier instead.
As seen in the picture to the right, the circuit is made so that the white LED fits over the sensor in the flash





  Simplyfied model (no "anti double fire" circuit)
