Abstract
The device detects a sound emitted by at least one body sound source which is coupled with an expansion medium, whereby at least two separate devices are provided for transferring the body sound, which are attached on one side at two separate places at the expansion medium. The devices enable on their other side the detection of the body sound under retention of directional information contained in it. The devices transferring the sound are preferably hollow conductors of equal length, which are separately attached to the medium. USE - In medical application, e.g. as stethoscope, or construction. ADVANTAGE - Enables precise spatial localisation of sound source, simple usage, and compact design.
