Description

This one head universal transducer can handle a considerable number of instruments, such as Guitars, Saz, Oud, Bouzouki, Balalaika, Cello, Dulcimer, Bongos, and many more. Excellent frequency range, no pre-amp required for some applications.

Hot Spot

This single-head pickup is only 1/2" in diameter and 1/32" thick, making it perfect for smaller instruments and a wide variety of applications. The Hot Spot comes with double-sided adhesive film and self-adhesive jack mounting clip. Its frequency range is close to perfectly linear and the output signal is very high for a piezo this small.

 

Big Shot

The Big Shot is also a single-head piezo pickup, but with a larger (3/4" transducers, especially designed for bigger instruments with low mechanical resonance. The extra strong output signal makes it a versatile choice for a variety of instruments. These include instruments made of relatively thick material, such as the sound board of a piano. It is considerably harder to induce vibration on these thicker materials compared to the thin top of a violin, for example. As the piezo crystals react to corpus vibrations, a low surface vibration results in a low signal and a strong vibration creates a strong signal. The frequency range is nearly linear with a slight peak in the upper midrange. This allows for great upfront sound transmission.

The external jack comes with a self-adhesive clamp for quick and easy placement on the instrument. The pickup head is attached with a special double-side adhesive film, which is UV resistant to ensure safe adhesion even after years of use. It is ultra-thin and enables the harmonic frequencies to completely pass through to the pickup disk.
