Ischell contact pickups are renowned for their fidelity to the acoustics of the instrument; they respect the player’s nuances with precision, and their acoustic isolation and feedback resistance are comparable to a piezo pickup, allowing high front-of-house and monitor levels. You can easily use them with an amp, apply effects to them, etc. The X48JC3-T model is appreciated by double bass players for its remote electronics, its XLR output, and its phantom power operation:

ISCHELL contact pickups are a new kind of pickup, made in France, which attach to the instrument with a specific audio adhesive paste: the sound is comparable to an internal microphone — fidelity, warmth, width — with the acoustic isolation and feedback resistance of a piezo pickup, allowing you to play at high levels on stage. You can easily use them with amps or mixing desks, apply effects to them or make clean loops. A real revolution in the world of acoustic amplification …

Tips and tricks:

Seeing that a new generation of musicians is playing on stage today, I thought it would be useful to share with them/you some experience in the field of amplifying acoustic instruments on stage and/or in the studio

Stringed instruments.

Stringed instruments work by having the strings make the soundboard vibrate via a bridge or equivalent. The quartet and all the other stringed instruments work in the same way, so all too often, and naturally, people head for the bridge, the closest point to the strings, as with some acoustic guitar pickups that end up amplifying only the strings. Whereas when fixed at certain places on the soundboard, you pick up a little of the “wood”, which makes the sound much more acoustic and closer to your instrument. Add, in a limited proportion, the sound of an air microphone (30%) and the job is done. The air that was missing from pickups is mixed in and lets you play louder with an acoustic sound.
