A Microphone Designed for Steel-String Acoustics, Without Compromise
The Kna HP-1 was designed for guitarists who want to amplify their acoustic guitar while preserving the natural character of the instrument. Its "rosette" format makes it particularly practical: it can be installed quickly and follows your guitar changes without constraints, ideal for traveling musicians, rehearsals, and live performances.
Who Is It For, and In What Contexts Should It Be Used?
This microphone is aimed at folk, pop, bluegrass, or fingerstyle players looking for a discreet and effective solution for stage, home recording, or venue sound reinforcement. Thanks to its passive design and non-invasive installation, it is also well suited for guitarists who want to preserve their instrument's craftsmanship while obtaining an immediately usable signal.
Double Coil, Neodymium, and Piezo: A Combination Serving Detail
The HP-1 is based on a double-coil humbucker mounted on a rosette, complemented by neodymium magnets and a piezo sensor integrated into a mahogany base. This architecture aims for excellent sensitivity and maximum tonal qualities, delivering an articulate and musical output. Supplied with its cable, it facilitates integration into your audio chain and allows quick switching from acoustic to amplified playing.
