Product Description “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’s give you a sound that is much more realistic than that of under the saddle pickups and is quite close to the sound of a good microphone. Along with being simple to install, the HFN’s have excellent feedback rejection and good string to string balance. There is nothing artificial about the sound of the HFN and the usual compressed ‘quackiness’ inherent in under the saddle pickup systems is noticeably absent in the HFN series. The HFN Pickup The HFN piezo sensing unit fits inside a guitar on the bridge plate of virtually any steel string guitar, be it a 12 string or a triple 0. Due its’ design, this series of pickups produces sound much closer to that of a good microphone than any under the saddle pickup that you’ve ever heard. The HFN series of pickups utilizes an elegant combination of wonderful 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. Each pickup is hand built and tested to ensure good sound. As well, each pickup is warranted for a period of two years from date of purchase. Preamp The HFN series of pickups was designed to use a preamp; either built into your instrument (model HFN-Artist) or of the external type (not included). If you already have a preamp built into your instrument or if you have an outboard preamp, the HFN passive model will work with virtually all of those units. If you do not have a preamp in your instrument and wish to have everything onboard in one neat and tidy package, then you should be purchasing the active (preamped) Artist model. Should you not wish to have an onboard preamp and battery, then the Schatten outboard Preamp/DI unit will match up perfectly with the HFN passive pickup.
