Schatten CH-1 Celtic and Small Harp Passive Pickup with Clip-On Jack

Product description:

The new Schatten CH-1 is designed for use on smaller bodied Celtic harps having 28 strings or less. It provides a very simple solution to the problem of quickly and easily adding a pickup to a harp. The pickup sensor simply sticks to the soundboard next to the string strip, while the output jack assembly has a clip on its’ back that allows it to easily clip to the edge of any sound port of the back of the harp. Up to 18 inches of the lead wire from the pickup sensor to the output jack stores right inside the jack assembly box – which keeps everything neat and tidy. The CH-1 can easily be moved from one harp to another – so one pickup can be used on more than one harp. The CH-1 is a passive pickup. It will work properly going straight into most normal electric guitar or bass amplifiers. If you are going to go directly into a P.A. system or mixer board, a preamp such as the Schatten Mini Pre acoustic preamp will be needed. Adding the Mini-Pre preamp will allow you to use this pickup to its full potential no matter what you are plugging into – any type of amp or any PA system.
