An Effective Classic to Electrify an Acoustic
The ARTEC Under Saddle Piezo Pickup is a piezo pickup designed to be placed under the saddle of your acoustic guitar. This position allows it to capture the vibrations transmitted by the strings to the bridge directly, providing a clear, responsive signal that is easy to use live. It's a relevant choice if you're looking for a clean, discreet amplification solution focused on performance.
Who Is It For and What Are the Uses?
This pickup is aimed at the acoustic guitarist who wants to gain projection on stage (monitors, PA, acoustic amplifier) without relying on an external microphone. It is also suitable for home studio users seeking a direct input, practical to combine with an ambient microphone. The 55 mm spacing is a key point: check your string spacing at the saddle/bridge to ensure optimal compatibility.
The Under Saddle Piezo Principle: Precision and Dynamics
Thanks to piezo technology, you benefit from a fast response on attacks and good note clarity, useful for crisp rhythms as well as arpeggios. Installed under the saddle, the pickup remains invisible once the guitar is assembled. Depending on your setup (instrument input, preamp, DI box, onboard system), it may be relevant to use an appropriate preamp to optimize level and tonal balance.
