The universal SHADOW pickup is a very special passive piezo pickup suitable for many instruments. It is the best-selling universal pickup (29,000 sold to date), and it delights all of our customers with a very acoustic sound and the ease of use that characterise it. All you have to do is stick the SHADOW onto any vibrating surface to get a powerful, faithful sound. No special power supply is needed:
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.

Le rendu sonore est remarquable, très fidèle au son acoustique de l’instrument.

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