NeebSound Balanced Acoustic Pickup
Description
NeebSound's Balanced Acoustic Pickup is a shielded piezoelectric contact
microphone, with a differential (balanced) output, encased in a selection of fancy
hardwoods. The pickup comes with a ¼" stereo jack. This allows the pickup, via a
stereo adapter cable, to plug into an XLR input, or via a standard instrument
cable, to plug into a ¼" input.
The pickup is capable of being plugged into a standard piezo preamplifier,
and with its shielding, produces minimal noise. However, when plugged into a
preamp with a balanced input, it really shines! This allows it to produce almost
no noise at all.
The Balanced Acoustic Pickup has a very rich sound, with better bass
response and less "peakiness" than most other piezo pickups on the market.
The wood we use in the construction of the pickup is your choice of several
types, including Cocobolo, Macassar Ebony, Figured Maple, and others. The
wood is finished with linseed oil, and a top coat of super blonde shellac is applied
to give it a deep lustre.
The pickups are available in two sizes (small and large). Small pickups are
for guitars or higher-pitched instruments, such as mandolins and violins. Large

NeebSound will start offering such a preamp for sale, called PiezoBuddy, in the Summer of 2022. In the meantime, there are options on the market that will serve the same purpose.
