RESOPHONIC PICKUPS by HIGHLANDER

TRICONE MAGNOPHONIC

Manufacturer's Notes
This pickup system reproduces the harmonically complex sound of the Tricone with exceptional accuracy. The response is extremely musical. Functioning like a cross between a magnetic pickup and a dynamic microphone, the Magnophonic Pickup is the only pickup that is cutom designed for this unique instrument

MANUFACTURER'S NOTES
The pickup is easily mounted in the center of the pan using the existing 'pan screw hole' and the hardware that is supplied with the pickup. The clip slides onto the ‘T Bridge’ and locks firmly in place over the pickup with a gap between them as indicated above. The gap must be measured under string tension. The clip acts as a light-weight ‘Diaphragm’, any movement of the ‘T Bridge’ vibrates the clip/diaphragm, which in turn generates an electronic signal in the Pickup. The Pickup signal is amplified by the Preamplifier to bring it up to ‘regular guitar level’. The movement of the ‘T Bridge’ is very complex, a product of the combined vibration of the three cones, string vibration and various other factors, it is at the very heart of the Tricone sound. The Magnophonic pickup captures the complex subtlety of the ‘T Bridges’ movement, accurately reproducing the Tricone’s sound.

iP 1X INLINE SYSTEMS

Manufacturer's Notes
The pickup is installed in the "biscuit." The preamp mounts on the "neck stick." The pickup is ideally positioned to capture the the complex tone and power of these instruments. The iP-1X INLINE Preamp simplifies installation. The 1/4" output jack can be mounted anywhere on the instument from a hole in the bout to one of the "f" holes.

MANUFACTURER'S NOTES
The pickup is embeded in a circular groove in the underside of the Biscuit Bridge. The pickup is connected to the preamplifier using a fully shielded RCA jack. Unlike other pickups our pickup is sensitive to vibration in every direction, therfore, all of the complex movements of the biscuit and cone are captured, reproducing the ambience of the cone as well as a clearly defined string tone. In contrast with other piezo pickups the response of the Highlander pickup is smooth and warm with a natural dynamic. The pickup is flexible, it's construction is similar to coaxial wire. The braid and the inner conductor are copper. Copper is malleable, which helps with the pickup's overall ability to make intimate contact with the Biscuit Bridge, which in turn is fixed to the cone. The advanced sensing material between the inner conductor and the outer braid of the pickup generates a signal that is proportional to the vibrations that are produced by the instrument. This signal is carried by the inner conductor and the braid. The braid also shields the sensing material from electrical interference and noise.

iP 1X D MODEL

Manufacturer's Notes
The sweet tones of this classic instrument are beautifully reproduced using our Model "D" Pickup System. Unlike other pickups, nothing directly attaches to the cone which can dampen the sound. In fact, the intregrity of the instrument is not compromised in any way by this installation. The original tone of the instrument is free to shine. The Model "D" pickups sound best with National Guitar Spiders. These vibrant, tonally rich Spiders can be purchased along with the pickup. The maple biscuit that contains the pickup is attached to the center of the underside of the spider with epoxy, which is included with the pickup.

MANUFACTURER'S NOTES
The Pickup is embeded in a circular groove in a maple biscuit. The Biscuit is fixed to the underside of the Spider Bridge with epoxy. 'Smart Glue' epoxy was selected for it's strength in this appilication, it is supplied in a 'self mixing' package that is easy to use and clean. The Pickup is connected to the preamplifier using a fully shielded RCA jack. Unlike other pickups our pickup is sensitive to vibration in every direction, therfore, all of the complex movements of the spider bridge and cone are captured, reproducing the ambience of the cone as well as a clearly defined string tone.
