The Ischell contact pickup for kora or n'goni is renowned for its fidelity to the acoustic sound of the instrument, its resistance to feedback, its ease of use with an amp and the possibility of using effects, making clean loops, and so on. The best-seller is the X48C3-T model, which fits inside the kora or n'goni without any drilling, with an XLR output and a high-pass filter. The pickup is placed under or on the bridge, or on a crossbar for the n'goni. This pickup is highly valued for its XLR output and for its removable design, which requires no work on the instrument.

Tips:

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

String 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.

ISCHELL microphones and pickups offer you a wide range of products for amplifying your instruments:

  1. Julien –

    Un excellent capteur polyvalent qui permet de régler séparément le volume de chaque capteur.
    Le service est impeccable et la livraison rapide.
    Je recommande.

  2. Bernard Muller –

    Micro reçu rapidement, bien emballé. Je joue du guembri et c’est pas facile de trouver un micro adapté pour cet instrument… j’ai testé plein de trucs avant et celui la est clairement au dessus. Le rendu est fidèle, pas de larsen même quand je monte le volume. Mon ingé son était impressionné au dernier concert. Très bon investissement

  3. Nathalie Lemoine –

    J’ai acheté ce micro pour ma kora 21 cordes, et franchement c’est le jour et la nuit par rapport a ce que j’avais avant. Le son est super naturel, on entend toutes les harmoniques du bois et des cordes.. Avant j’utilisais un micro sur pied mais c’etait galère en concert, la maintenant je branche et c’est parti. Le montage est simple, j’ai mis peut etre 10 minutes la premiere fois. Je recommande a tous les joueurs de kora ou de n’goni qui veulent se sonoriser proprement !

  4. Frédéric Martinez –

    Captation très précise, aucun larsen même à fort volume. Exactement ce que je cherchais.

  5. Nicolas Bertrand –

    Parfait pour sonoriser ma kora sur scene. C’est exactement ce que je cherchais depuis des années… un micro qui comprend les instruments africains. Installation facile et le son est magnifique, très précis et chaleureux en même temps. Franchement pour le prix c’est imbattable. Merci pour les conseils au téléphone d’ailleurs, c’est rare de pouvoir parler à quelqu’un qui s’y connait vraiment

  6. Céline Robert –

    Alors moi je suis joueur de oud depuis 25 ans et j’ai toujours eu du mal à trouver quelque chose qui capte bien la subtilité de l’instrument. Ce micro ISCHELL c est vraiment bien pensé,, il se place facilement et le son est très fidèle au son acoustique. Même les nuances les plus subtiles passent. J’ai joué avec dans un festival world music le mois dernier et j’ai eu que des retours positifs de la régie son.
