The Demon Box EMF Instrument/Controller Ready for Preorders
Eternal Research has announced that its triangular instrument, The Demon Box, will be “ready for the world” and on sale for preorders.
Years in development, the Demon Box uses 33 inductors grouped in three triangular channels of 11 inductors to transform electromagnetic frequencies. The Demon Box can be used on its own to create unique sounds or it can be incorporated into a larger setup including as an audio-visual controller. The instrument is perfect for sound designers, composers, artists, and other creatives who want to find new ways to conjure and explore sound. It also offers ample opportunity for visual applications like video synthesis, DMX lighting, and coding platforms like Max, Jitter, and TouchDesigner.
Eternal Research founder Alexandra Fierra explains, “The Demon Box is a physical manifestation of a bigger idea. It’s an idea in contrast to the idea that all the organizing principles we’ve hitherto devised are music, and all that is not part of that is noise.” She adds, “Our goal is to bridge the gap between science and music, to turn the forces that made the electric guitar and MIDI possible into an instrument for the 21st century.”
Demon Boxes can mesh with nearly any set up, thanks to their comprehensive connectivity: three mono audio ins, three mono audio outs, a triphonic audio output, 3 control voltage outputs, and MIDI out sending CC and note data via a DIN port and USB-C. Each channel comes equipped with parameter controls, enabling you to mix both the EMF channels and external gear to your liking in real time.
According to Eternal Research’s head engineer Bryn Nieboer, “Stereo is limited. Three channels allow you to sculpt and navigate with panning, phasing, and effects layering, to create an immersive, triphonic sound that sets the Demon Box apart.”
The Demon Box ($999.00) is available for preorder now at this link, and is expected to ship later this autumn. Eternal Research is offering a special discount of $100 off the $999.00 original purchase price of The Demon Box that runs September 5- 13, 2025. The offer can be used once per Demon Box transaction with the code DEMON33.
The Demon Box and other Eternal Research projects will be part of this year’s Knobcon in Chicago on September 5-7, 2025. They will be available for Knobcon attendees to explore at the Eternal Research booth B400.
