MADE WITH PRIDE IN THE USA |
ARTIST SERIES PB-200 Standard And PB-200 Pro RECOMMENDED USES Both systems work with resonator banjos, 5 string, 6 string, banjo uke's and any other type of banjo you can imagine! Please use the drop-down menu on the right to select either the standard or the pro version. PB-200 Pro; The new Pro version of our PB-200 banjo pickup system adds the versatility of an on-board volume control. It also adds more aesthetic value to your beloved banjo. Each enclosure is individually CNC machined from a solid piece of Delrin, which is a very lightweight material that is durable enough to last for many years. The face plate is machined from a solid piece of polished aluminum. Unlike other similar devices on the market that are thrown together using an "off the shelf" abs project box, this one will really stand out. We didn't cut corners! You can fully expect it to be noticed by your fellow musicians! PB-200 Standard; The L-shaped part of the jack assembly is made from a very durable and dense plastic. It has been stress tested up to 60lbs. It is made to stand the test of time. The threaded back strip is made from steel. This assembly is a JJB-ELECTRONICS exclusive. You won't find a better one anywhere else! About both systems; The output jack assemblies allow you to attach a standard 1/4" output to your banjo without drilling any holes in the instrument or modifying it in any manner. The design of these jack assemblies allow them to attach to the tensioning hooks in the same manner that an arm rest is attached. These units are designed to fit almost any banjo known to man. They will fit banjos with hook spacings from 1 1/8" up to 1 15/16".The transducers mount to the bottom of the head under the bridge using the provided double-stick material. Our new line of pickups are constructed with the finest components available. In fact, they are the same (Better, in many cases) components that are used by other companies that sell their systems for far more money. We welcome you to shop around to see what similar systems are selling for. These are built using very high quality 20mm piezo's. These can be used with or without a preamp with fantastic results. Both systems utilize a double surface transducer design. This results in a very wide frequency range and very natural reproduction of sound. The two-piezo configuration offers a few advantages over single piezo systems. Having two piezo’s affords you the opportunity to place them at two different points on the soundboard thus resulting in an improved dynamic range due to the fact that they transmit the resonance found at more than one point. These special surface transducers are under less pressure than under saddle pickups thus decreasing the likelihood of them transmitting a percussive or harsh sound. These do not "fade" or distort at high volume or with high- power systems. The highs are crystal clear while the lows are what they should be, low! These, like all of our systems, can be installed in about 15 minutes. They are a very simple and inexpensive means of turning your acoustic instruments in to acoustic electric. |
