Nanoflex Technology in the Shadow Range
The SH 965 relies on Shadow Nanoflex technology, designed to fit the shape of the instrument and the bridge foot to deliver an authentic sound. It is a "plug and play" solution combining sensor and preamp into a coherent unit, recommended by leading double bass manufacturers.
For Which Double Bassists and Uses?
Ideal for beginner to advanced double bassists who want to amplify their instrument during rehearsals, concerts, or studio sessions, both in pizzicato and arco playing. The system is designed to remain faithful to nuances and position changes, making it practical for jazz, contemporary music, and amplified classical music.
Sound Characteristics
Piezo-type, the sensor captures both the string attack and body vibrations, helping to preserve the acoustic grain of the double bass. The active preamp and shielding contribute to a clean and stable reproduction, while the tone control allows adjustment of brightness depending on the bow, venue, or mix.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Plan for a CR2032 battery (power supply) and a 6.35 mm jack cable to connect the system to an amplifier, DI box, or mixing console.
