A simple, effective piezo transducer, ready to record
The Shadow SH2001 STANDARD TRANSDUCER is a piezo sensor designed to convert your instrument's vibrations into a clear and faithful signal. Its high output level delivers a pure and readable acoustic sound without requiring a preamp, convenient for focusing on essentials and saving time during soundchecks. Whether you play steel or nylon strings, it maintains good definition and a natural response, even when your playing becomes brighter or more percussive.
For acoustic guitar, acoustic instruments, and TRIGGER/MIDI applications
Thanks to its transducer principle, the SH2001 adapts to a wide range of instruments: folk guitar, classical guitar, unusual acoustic instruments, and percussion. It is also among the favored sensors for feeding TRIGGER/MIDI interfaces when reliable capture of impacts and vibrations is needed. Its 3.5 m cable facilitates placement and connection, whether on a pedalboard, audio interface, or stage system.
Adhesive mounting: quick and discreet installation
The sensor attaches directly to the instrument using adhesive. This solution allows for quick installation without major modifications and no mandatory professional setup. The result: accessible amplification, ideal for amplifying an acoustic instrument, adding a layer of sound to a live set, or triggering sounds via a MIDI system, all while preserving maximum playing feel.

Received this morning, I installed it on a Prudencio Saez (stuck on the treble side bridge) Then plugged it into a Black Star mini amp (pack with 3 + 3w speaker) it's great.
The microphone is good, it reproduces the classic Spanish sound well. (You have to refine it with the gain button and the OD option on the amp) Of course I am an amateur, less demanding than all the âpros\â but I listen with my ears...Automatically translated

Very good product, simple installation using a self-fixing paste (patafix) on the body of the instrument, small adjustment according to the position of the microphone and off you go to reproduce a very clean sound.A simple and effective microphone!
For information, the cable sold with the microphone is not 30cm but rather 3m.
Once again, thanks to Woodbrass for the speed of shipping and the quality of these products.Automatically translated

Good morning,
It is indeed a very good product. It does not give the usual metallic sound. I use it with an old 30-year-old Ibanez acoustic with Argentine Manouche extra light strings and it is the microphone that allows the sound to be recovered. However, be careful, the photo is that of the HS 2000. The SH 2001 doesn't have the control buttons, which is misleading!Automatically translated
