DYN-M
Before Schertler®, the amplification of the mandolin has been difficult and meant an unbearable misrepresentation of the true sound by the use of pickups, or non-stop stress from usually unavoidable feedback and voiceover problems, and therefore the compromise of sound quality of other instruments by the use of microphones. That was yesterday. Today we have the DYN-M mandolin pickup from Schertler®- the solution to sound and handling problems.
The unique pickup technology relegates voiceover and feedback problems to the past, and, thanks to the excellent dynamics and linearity of the world-wide-patented electrodynamic transducer, the mandolin is reproduced faithfully and fully. This makes the DYN-M the most natural mandolin acoustic pickup available on the market.
Read Steven Stone's review of DYN-M for Stereophile’s Guide to Home Theater titled 'Does Schertler Make the World’s Best Mandolin Pickup?'
"I’ve always wanted a pickup that could reproduce my mandolin’s tone accurately. The Schertler DYN-M and PRE-AII combo is the best I’ve ever heard." - Chris Thile, Nickel Creek
APPLICATION
The use of the DYN-M is extremely simple and very safe, especially for vintage instruments where the value could be affected by a permanent installation requiring working parts of the wood. Special adhesive putty is provided to mount the pickup on the instrument body. The best location is quickly found through trial and error. The balanced signal uptake - via the XLR connector - and the low impedance of the pickup reduce the risk of hum and radio frequency interference to a minimum, even when using long cables.
The same pickup features also allow direct connection to a mixing board or amplifier input. For amplification devices with direct "Line-in" possibilities, we offer our Acoustic Preamp "PRE-A" for signal boost and modulation. For the perfect reproduction of the mandolin, Schertler® also offers a series of active acoustic instrument loudspeakers of the best possible quality.
