| ARTIST SERIES SHC-200 RECOMMENDED USES New from JJB-Electronics comes the SHC-200! We have been asked for the past few years when we were planning to offer a discreet soundhole mounted volume and tone control option. The wait is over! This system is great for people who would like these controls close at hand, but do not want to drill holes in their instrument to mount conventional potentiometers. We didn't compromise on this system one bit. Everything that went into it is the absolute best we could find, right down to the premium connectors. The board is a very high quality, double- layer design. This cuts down on the possibility of feedback or other unwanted harmonic noises. The control board is mounted to the soundboard using a very strong 3M double-stick material. It was very important to us while developing this system that there would be a retrofit option for people with existing JJB- ELECTRONICS systems installed. Please take a look at the pic on the right. No soldering is required to retrofit this system to your current one. Just plug in a few connectors and you're good to go! This option can be selected from the drop-down menu on the right. This system features 100% passive circuitry, because we firmly believe that batteries have no place inside of an acoustic instrument. This also helps to make it a very reliable system. These are built using very high quality 15 or 20mm transducers. Please select the desired size from the drop-down menu above. The 15mm configuration is designed for guitars which do not provide enough space on the bridgeplate to allow for the bigger sized piezo's. These are ideal for guitars with more mid-range and bass response. They are designed for more resonant guitars or ones with thinner soundboards..Both systems have a very similar tone but the smaller system provides a little less output than the bigger sized system. In many cases this slight difference is negated by the higher resonance of a smaller bridgeplate. The 20mm size is the best option for 12 string guitars as well as high-string setups. Either size can be used with or without a preamp with fantastic results. It utilizes a triple surface transducer design. This results in a very wide frequency range and very natural reproduction of sound. The three-piezo configuration offers a few advantages over single and double piezo systems. Having three piezo’s affords you the opportunity to place them at three different points on the soundboard thus resulting in an improved dynamic range due to the fact that they transmit the resonance found at more than one point. These special surface transducers are under less pressure than under saddle pickups thus decreasing the likelihood of them transmitting a percussive or harsh sound. Each piezo is designed to pick up a string pair as well as the resonance found in a significant amount of the soundboard. These do not fade or distort at high volume or with high-power systems. The highs are crystal clear while the lows are what they should be, low! This pickup configuration is offered in several high end guitars. All of our products feature quality components and construction. These utilize a premium quality Switchcraft 1/4” nickel plated stereo end-pin jack. This system will give you a very clean install for those who do not want to compromise the integrity of their beloved instrument. The end-pin jack also doubles as a strap button. These, like all of our systems, can be installed in about 15 minutes! They are a very simple and inexpensive means of turning your acoustic instruments in to acoustic electric. |
