Studio Microphone Quality Sound
"The sound of this new guitar pickup is as close to that of a good quality mic as you've ever heard from a guitar pickup......"
The HFN-C models give you a sound that is much more realistic and acoustic than anything that you
have ever experienced before. More realism in attack, more realism in overall response,
these pickups actually allow your instrument to sound just as good plugged in as it does unplugged.
The only thing missing from the HFN-C in a classical is the 'quack' that everyone has come to expect
and accept in classical acoustic pickups.
The HFN-C series for nylon string classicals and flamenco guitars is available in two models:
The HFN-C passive which does not come with a preamp, and the HFN-C Artist which is an active pickup
and has an endpin jack preamp. We offer the passive model of the pickup for use in instruments that already
have a preamp onboard or for those customers that wish to use an outboard preamp.
The HFN-C Artist now comes with our latest generation of Artist II endpin jack preamp
featuring multiple power capability. This means that the preamp can be run from an onboard 9 volt battery,
or from Phantom Power (up to 48 volts dc), or from an outboard battery box.
So, the choice is yours: "Do I put a battery in there.....or don't I?"
HFN Artist Pickup - with Artist II Preamp features
Preamp may run from 9 volt battery onboard
Preamp may run from Phantom Power (up to 48 volts) from PA, mixer, or amp
Preamp may run from an 18 volt Remote Battery Box
Available thumbwheel volume controls
2 Channels with trim pots on circuit board for setting maximum gain per channel
The HFN-C series of pickups utilizes an elegant combination of materials: rosewood for its main structure
and arching with a light weight brass shell for its noise shielded piezo unit. Total weight of the pickup
is a very light 0.2 ounces (7 grams). It will not affect the acoustic sound of the instrument when not in use.
The HFN C pickup unit securely sticks in place on the bridge plate of your classical guitar with the
supplied 3M VHB self adhesive foam tape. This mounting is very quick and very secure.
The pickup may be removed easily however, at any time should you want to move it to a different instrument.
The HFN-C piezo sensing unit fits inside the instrument and spans the center brace or reinforcement strip.
Due its' design, this series of pickups produces sound much closer to that of a good microphone than any under
the saddle pickup or bridge replacement pickup that you've ever heard.
Installation is quick and simple and takes about 15 minutes. All HFN-C's come fully wired,
complete and ready to install. The Artist models also include a self adhesive velcro mount
cordura nylon battery bag. Neat and tidy.
