A Classic for Cello Amplification
The Fishman C-100 Classic Series is designed for cellists who want to amplify simply, with a discreet and reliable pickup. Its Floating Mount system allows for a clean and stable setup, ideal for rehearsals, stage, amplified ensembles, or recording, while respecting the instrument's integrity.
For Stage, Rehearsal, and Amplified Setups
Whether you play in amplified chamber music, orchestra with reinforcement, jazz, contemporary music, or acoustic "live" settings, this cello pickup helps you gain presence and control. The 6.35mm Jack output mounted on the tailpiece facilitates connection and reduces wiring constraints during playing.
Easy Installation, Signal Optimization with a Preamp
Thanks to its piezo/ceramic pickup and lightweight mounting, the C-100 aims for clear reproduction while avoiding muffling the soundboard and bridge. To get the best out of its potential (level, tonal balance, feedback management), pairing it with an impedance-matching preamp is recommended, such as the Fishman Pro EQ Platinum, Platinum Stage, or Powerjack.
