Pickup/Preamplifier System

Contact Pickup

A.R.T.(Acoustic Resonance Transducer)

Newly developed contact pickup

Unique multilayer structure achieves optimum dynamic balance.

Yamaha acoustic electric guitars have used piezoelectric pickups to

reproduce the pure sounds of the acoustic guitar. But piezoelectric pickups

To Pre-Amp

tended to overreact to changes in attack, which in turn caused distortion.

To achieve ideal playability, we had to improve the way that these dynamics

were controlled.

(Multiple Layer

To provide a solution to this issue, the new pickup was designed with a

Including Wood)

multilayer structure consisting of six layers.

Brass Plate

This dampens excessive vibration from the topboard while picking up small

resonances to achieve ideal sensitivity and outstanding dynamic balance.

Piezo Crystal

Also, because the pickup is fitted directly beneath the topboard, it functions

as a transducer attached to the body.

PICKUP

A conventional contact pickup mounted underneath the saddle

vibrates freely allowing it to pick up the natural body sound. On the

other hand, it can pick up too much body sound resulting in feedback

making positioning difficult.

OUTPUT

By comparison the A.R.T system used on the NX Series guitars

utilizes a multilayer damper in order to absorb excessive vibrations

and control feedback. System 61 consists of two pickups mounted

on the high and low sides of the guitar, each with its own control to

provide the NX Series guitars with flexible tone tailoring.

System 55T

This is a tuner-equipped version of System55. The chromatic tuner is accurate, easy to use and

easy to view. You can use the tuning mode by pressing a single button even if you have no

cable connected. Turning the tuner on or off will not affect the output in any way.

The tuner also comes with a one-minute auto-off timer to save battery power.
