The SHADOW universal pickup is a very special passive piezo pickup suited to a wide range of instruments. Just press the sensor onto the surface of the instrument you want to amplify: it is one of the best-selling universal pickups, and delights all our customers with a very acoustic sound and the ease of use that characterise it. Indeed, you simply stick the SHADOW onto any vibrating surface to get a powerful, faithful sound. No special power supply is needed: its bonus is the volume and tone control on the control box:

Its price is very attractive

Tips and tricks:

Percussion.

Percussion instruments are the loudest instruments on the market. That is why, to amplify a tom for example, you need a microphone capsule that will not overload on the transient (the “attack”) of the sound. 

Well placed, SHADOW pickups, generic piezo pickups, will play their part by finding their place; often a logical one, sometimes an incongruous one, from where they will provide an acceptable solution at little cost 

Sanza, kalimba, djembe, steel drum, tabla, bongo, tom, etc.
