PIEZO CRYSTAL PICKUP for BANJO

Manufacturers Details:
SoundSpot™ - Banjo
SoundSpots are ultra-sensitive transducer pickups suitable for stringed and non-stringed acoustic and ethnic instruments. Unlike other “dot-type” transducer pickups, each SoundSpot™ is hand ground to extremely fine tolerances. This process, along with the selection of materials, renders a pickup with a very thin surface that also maintains its strength and flexibility. The result is a transducer that is ultra-sensitive to an instrument’s surface vibrations and, therefore, is extremely natural and warm sounding.

• Ultra-sensitive transducer pickup
• Hand ground to extremely fine tolerances
• Versions available for most acoustic instruments
• Extremely natural and warm sounding

Position
Under the bridge's feet

Applying The Pickup
Please install the system as shown in the drawing using the supplied double stick tape for the pickups. Note that the location of the each pickup is not the same relative to the bridge feet. This is important. The self-adhesive tape is installed on the two outer edges of the pickups only. This allows the center portion of the pickup to be free-floating, which enhances the response. Secure the two pickup cables on the rod with the supplied cable tie.

Jack
The Banjo SoundSpot is equipped with a multi-use endpin jack. This jack is designed to be installed on the outside of the banjo or internal installation or for installation in a slot on the outer rim. The external-mount jack is attached with the included self-adhesive dual-lock system. In this way, the jack can be temporarily removed to fit your instrument into a form-case.

If drill-thru jack installation is desired, please contact your luthier. This installation requires special tools and skills. For the rim-slot installation, please remove the strap knob assembly (knob-nut-washer) and remove the nut in front of the screw cap.

Usage Tips
A banjo equipped with the Banjo SoundSpot pickup can be used with any amplifier. For P.A. and recording applications, a high-quality direct box such as the D-TAR Solstice or Equinox is suggested.
