ARTIST SERIES PRESTIGE-110 RECOMMENDED USES New from JJB-ELECTRONICS comes the Prestige-110 Ukulele Pickup System! We have custom built many of these for our customers over the years. The positive response from them has been nothing short of overwhelming! We decided that it is about time that we added it to the standard lineup. These are built using very high quality 20mm piezo's, which is what we have found to be the best suited for a Ukulele. These can be used with or without a preamp with fantastic results. This system utilizes a single piezo configuration for a crisp sound. Due to the small scale of a Ukulele, a single piezo configuration like this one is more than sufficient to pick up the full range of the instrument. If you are shopping for a pickup for your baritone ukulele, you might consider our Prestige-220 system due to the larger scale of this instrument. These special surface transducers are under less pressure than under saddle pickups thus decreasing the likelihood of them transmitting a percussive or harsh sound. The piezo is designed to pick up the resonance found in a significant amount of the soundboard. 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! They are very responsive. This pickup configuration is offered in several high end instruments. All of our products feature quality components and construction. These utilize a nickel plated premium ¼ endpin jack that is of equal quality to those manufactured by Switchcraft. These, like all of our systems, can be installed in about 15 minutes! The single piezo configuration is a very straight- forward and easy to install system. They are a very simple and inexpensive means of turning your acoustic instruments in to acoustic electric. Please don’t let the price fool you! |
