Development Trend of Acoustic Guitar Pickup

1. With the development of the music era (epochal)

The development of music has a strong epoch. The guitar players of each era have different styles and playing characteristics. According to these characteristics, pickup engineers continue to improve technology to meet the requirements of players to the greatest extent, such as developing internal stickers. The micro-microphone can be used to meet the playing techniques of board playing in recent years; for example, to change the timbre of playing and singing in the past, which tends to be cold, hard and deep, to meet the modern performance, emphasizing the midrange, and to maintain the overall uniformity of the timbre; adding a USB interface to meet the needs of electronic music synthesis, etc.

2. Development with the progress of science and technology

With the advancement of science and technology, new materials and technologies have been continuously applied to acoustic guitar pickups. For example, the use of new rare earth materials to make pickup rods, the application of halo acoustic imaging technology makes the transmission accuracy more accurate, and the sound is warmer and more natural.

Using nanotechnology to innovate, the pickup bar sensor is composed of seven layers of carefully selected materials that transmit not only audio vibrations, but also guitar body vibrations. At the same time, the unique new technology used by the pickup can effectively shield the electromagnetic "garbage" from current, lights, displays, etc., to ensure that the sound transmission loss is small and high fidelity.

3. With people's use, they pay more attention to convenience and comfort

Modern performances not only require players to have superb playing skills, but also require players to be expressive. In order to achieve the stage effect of a large-scale concert, not only a larger performance space is required, but also rich body movements of the performers are required. In the past, the wire connecting the guitar pickup to the speaker often limited the stage performance in this regard. A new generation of wireless stereo pickup receiving system with an active distance of 80 meters was developed. The system realizes the automatic pairing of the transmitter and the receiver signal, and can adjust the treble strings separately. And the volume of the bass strings, it only needs to be installed in the sound hole position, and the assembly and disassembly are very convenient.

In addition, each pickup R&D team is also paying more and more attention to ergonomic design. The designed pickups make it easier for players to use and operate, and are developing towards a small, lightweight, simple and fast function adjustment.

Of course, guitar pickups only solve the problem of how to transmit guitar audio signals with high fidelity. Whether the final signal is good or not is inseparable from the sound quality of the guitar. The tone of the guitar depends on its structure, the selection of materials for each part and the production process, which is not discussed in this article.
