Elderly Instruments Latest - New Musical Instruments - Pickups For Acoustic Instruments http://elderly.com/list/new.rss?catlist=PUA en-us copyright 2013 Elderly Instruments Wed, 22 May 2013 00:21:56 -0400 Wed, 22 May 2013 00:21:56 -0400 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 720 webmaster@elderly.com Designed for stringed instruments with a floating bridge, and especially good for Maccaferri & Selmer style guitars, acoustic archtop guitars, bouzoukis & octave mandolins; and even cellos. The pickup is only 6/1000 of an inch thin and measures 1 3/4" x 3/4" total. It is a compression pickup because it is especially suited for wedged applications under the floating bridge. The pickup element is also capable of transmitting sound like a soundboard transducer, so the best tone is achieved if the pickup is mounted so it is partially wedged and partially open on the soundboard. The system also includes an endpin jack which can be mounted internally or externally as you prefer, and the "Definity outboard preamp" which focuses and strengthens the sound prior to sending the signal to an amp or mixing board.

The mic easily mounts on the underside of the bridge plate with the signal routed through a barrel preamp-endpin jack. The signal is processed onboard to minimize feedback issues and maintain a sweet mic sound with shifting dynamics. There is also a presence control to optimize high-frequency response for your guitar and a soundhole-mounted volume control. The "Lyric" is a welcomed addition to Baggs "Tru-Mic" family.

It attaches first to your strap and then to the strap-button-jack on your instrument. The nylon clip then locks the strap-keeper in place so that it cannot come off the button. These are designed for the smaller diameter jacks found on factory install systems used by Yamaha, Takamine, Ovation and Taylor Expresssion system, but not the more typical endpin jack buttons used by Fishman, L.R.Baggs and others. For those see item SK1. Indispensable. ($9.99) ]]> Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:00:00 -0400 http://elderly.com/new_instruments/items/SK2.htm http://elderly.com/new_instruments/items/SK2.htm
