Schatten P4 Piano Pickup

Twin sensors capture the acoustic sound of the piano and the P4 buffer preamp enables you to plug into any amp or sound system. The twin sensors adhere to the underside of the soundboard on a grand piano or the back of the soundboard on an upright piano.

One sensor is placed biased towards the treble side of a soundboard, the other sensor is placed biased towards the base side. This arrangement gives full coverage of the instrument.

We've kept this pickup system simple and easy to use. The sensors adhere to the soundboard with either a small amount of the supplied putty - for non-permanent installations, or with the supplied double sided mounting tape for doing permanent installations. Each sensor has a 10 foot shielded cable with a 1/4" plug.
