3.1.1. A special inert, adhesive (green) putty is provided to mount the pickup on the instrument body; the instrument’s finish will not be damaged.
back

3.1.2. It is very simple: use the transducers like a stethoscope, trying different positions until the ideal location is found. Positions are suggested in our manual.
back

3.1.3. No, you can quickly remove and re-mount the transducer on the instrument body.
back

3.1.4 No, the inert green putty will NOT interact or damage your instrument. We care about your instrument!

3.1.5. While DYN-series pickups do NOT require the use of a preamp, we recommend the use of our PRE-A-II preamplifier to deliver the optimum performance of the microphone. The PRE-A-II preamplifier allows precise control of the instrument’s tone with Bass, Treble, Resonance (notch 180Hz), Input and Output volume. DYN-Series pickups have XLR cables and can be plugged directly into a mixer or an amplifier, as for example our UNICO or DAVID.

3.2.0. GENERAL INFORMATION

3.2.1. How do DYN-series transducers work?
DYN-series transducers consist of a coupled coil and magnet. Vibrations of the instrument’s body create an electrical signal.
back

3.2.2. DYN-Series electrodynamic transducers have good feedback resistance when compared to traditional mics. However, at very high stage volumes, STAT transducers and BLUESTiCK have more resistance to feedback.
back

3.2.3. No, the energy of the vibrations is enough to create the electrical signal.
back

3.2.4. We believe that DYN-Series pickups are the best friend of sound engineers. With SCHERTLER DYNs, signal isolation is no longer a problem, providing a simple yet elegant solution to eliminate bleed and feedback on stage. They also permit the close placement of one sound-source to another, allowing for maximum flexibility in the stage layout.
back

3.2.5. DYN-series transducers are true microphones, they reproduce the sound of your instrument instead of merely recreating it via imprecise piezo-ceramic mechanics. The sound is much more natural and dynamic than piezo pickups that tend to have limited dynamic range and are easily overdriven into harsh clipping.

3.2.6. The C-DYN contact microphone is a DYN-series transducer designed for internal/OEM solutions. It’s available in 3 versions: C-DYN-L (long cable) – C-DYN-S (short cable) – C-DYN-RESO (for resonator guitars).
back

3.2.7. Yes. DYN-series transducers work well on virtually any stringed instrument with soundboard and acoustic chamber.
back

3.2.8. DYN-B (Bass), DYN-V (Violin/Viola), DYN-C (Cello), DYN-E (“Ethnic”), DYN-P (Piano), DYN-GP (Grand Piano), DYN-G (Guitar), DYN-ABG (Acoustic Bass Guitar), DYN-M (Mandolin), and DYN-H (Harp).

3.2.9. All the details are in the “General Catalogue” catalogue.

3.2.10. All the details are in the “General Catalogue” catalogue.
back

3.2.11. The difference is in the frequency range and the application features. Each DYN-Series model is voiced for its particular instrument application.
back

3.2.12. The DYN is a moving coil dynamic microphone and its sound is much more natural, it has more dynamic range and greater low end.

3.3.0. ADDITIONAL TIPS

3.3.1. Absolutely, the features of the DYN are ideal for orchestral applications.
back

3.3.2. Yes, DYN-series transducers are used throughout the world for broadcast and sound reinforcement applications.
We can say they are the best friend of sound engineers. With SCHERTLER DYN-Series pickups, signal isolation is no longer a problem, providing a simple yet elegant solution to eliminate bleed and feedback on stage.
