For over 60 years, Moog's theremins have captured the imagination of players and audiences alike. Over the past two decades, Moog's Etherwave Standard and Etherwave Plus have set the bar for powerful theremin design. Now, the best-selling theremin models of all time get an update and simply become the Etherwave Theremin.

With no reeds to blow, no keys to press, and no strings to pluck, the Theremin defies all expectations of a musical instrument. Instead, it is played in a way that seems to conjure music from the ether, simply by moving the body near the instrument. Throughout history, performers have achieved unprecedented expressiveness by mastering this unique connection between the hands, the body, the environment, and the instrument.

The elegant simplicity of the theremin and its unparalleled expressiveness have fueled Bob Moog's lifelong love of the instrument - from building his first theremin at age 14 to completing his final theremin design at age 70. Today, the Etherwave Theremin continues that legacy with a design refined for the modern theremin performer.
Combining analog playability with unprecedented performance potential, Moog's Etherwave Theremin offers a precise five-octave pitch range and balanced note spacing for highly sophisticated playability. Updated analog electronics have been used to realize Bob Moog's classic theremin circuit design while enhancing bass response in the lower registers.

The refined cabinet is constructed of hand-finished hardwood and two quick-release coated brass antennas. In addition, rear I/O ports and a removable mic stand adapter provide quick setup on the go.
Easy-access front panel controls allow for impromptu changes in timbre, and the antennas can be adjusted to suit each player and their environment (advanced users can go a step further via the calibration panel on the top of the instrument). A front panel headphone output - with its own volume control - is equipped with an additional mute button that mutes the main audio output, while the headphone output remains active for private timbre and tuning adjustments.

In addition, the Etherwave Theremin can be directly connected to other modular, semi-modular and Eurorack synthesizer systems, connecting them via CV (control voltage). Control your synthesizers or effects while playing the Theremin by connecting the Etherwave Theremin's 3.5mm Pitch CV, Volume CV and Gate CV jacks for a whole new performance experience. The Etherwave Theremin offers both novice and professional players exceptional sound, playability and control to take your sound to new dimensions.
