An acoustic emission (AE) technique is being developed to locate sources of mechanical disturbances, particularly of conductor motion, in superconducting magnets. This paper presents preliminary results from two large magnets: (1) a high-current density dipole for high-current density dipole for high-energy physics application and (2) a 'stable' saddle magnet for MHD application.
