Nanoflex: a "holistic" approach to vibration
The SH 955 relies on Nanoflex technology, which is not limited to the vibrations of the strings alone: the pickup also captures those of the body, in order to preserve the acoustic character of your cello once amplified.
Intended Use and Musician
Ideal for cellists from beginner to advanced levels who play amplified (rehearsal, stage, recording) and seek a stable, easy-to-control sound capture that remains consistent in all bowing positions.
Sound Character
The behavior of the Nanoflex pickup, combined with active amplification and shielding, aims for a very natural and quiet output. The volume / tone controls allow quick adjustment of the balance (warmer or brighter) depending on the instrument, bow, and amplification context.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay operational in all circumstances, have a spare CR2032 battery on hand (same type as required by the system).
