STAT-Series Electrostatic Bridge Pickups
|
The Schertler STAT-Series electrostatic system was designed and patented in 1988 and is used by thousands of musicians worldwide. STAT-Series transducers are well known for their high feedback resistance and for providing an impressive “bridge sound” without the harshness or distortion of a piezo pickup. STATs provide a full and realistic string instrument sound, never harsh or shrill with full bass tones and clear, bright trebles.
STAT-Series transducers are ideal for rock, fusion and jazz, where loud amplified levels can otherwise create feedback problems. Furthermore, STATs work very effectively with signal processors and effects.
Available for four specific string instrument applications, STAT-V (violin and viola), STAT-C (cello) and STAT-B (double bass), each variant takes into consideration the individual characteristics of each instrument and works well for all playing styles.
Installation is simple: the pickup capsule is placed in one of the bridge wing cutouts. Constructed with soft cork on one end of the capsule, the cork is easily carved to the curvature of the cutout. Once mounted, a STAT transducer can remain on the instrument indefinitely. Likewise, the STAT can be easily removed and reinstalled as necessary.
Schertler STAT-Series transducers require 9-volt power and a Schertler preamplifier. Each STAT-Set includes a battery-driven STAT-PRE preamp, while the STAT-SELECT Set includes the more sophisticated PRE-AII. The PRE-AII is driven by a regulated AC power supply which in turn powers the STAT transducer.
Both Sets include a high-quality Schertler cable and specially designed clips to attach the connectors to the tailpiece of the instrument.
DUAL-SOURCE System
The Dual System is the most important Schertler product in the acoustic guitar amplification domain. The Dual combines the two main Schertler technologies, the electrostatic under-saddle transducer (BLUESTiCK) and the electro-dynamic transducer (Dyn).
The BLUESTiCK®, in combination with the C-Dyn, enables the player to create a wide variety of tones. Either pickup may be selected alone, or a blend of the two may be created. The flexibility of the Dual system is complemented by its simplicity; a double rotary controller is mounted with double-sided tape inside the sound hole. The black control is used to adjust the overall volume level, while the white control is used to adjust the blend between the BLUESTiCK and the C-DYN.
Basik-Series
The contact pick-up for all stringed instruments.
Simply apply the special kit supplied, and BASIK will convey the body vibrations with high precision producing a natural acoustic sound.
BASIK SET
With the BASIK-SET, the microphone can be plugged in any amplifier through the phantom power adapter box supplied with a 1.5V AA battery. This product has been conceived either for musicians or other not professional use (Hi-Fi, PC, etc.).
BASIK PRO
There is also a version that has been conceived for pro audio and recording studio applications: the BASIK-PRO, which is supplied trough a Phantom adapter with 48V, to let you be connected to a mixer.
Both Basik Types can be directely connected to our DAVID or UNICO to the STAT input with 10V switch ON, without any adapter.
Its user-friendliness and cost-effectiveness make BASIK the ideal acoustic pick-up for beginners.
Double Bass
The Schertler STAT-B electrostatic bridge pickup stands out for its high feedback isolation and for providing a very impressive “bridge sound” without the hardness or distortion of a piezo pickup. In performance, the STAT-B delivers a full and realistic bass sound while the high notes are finely portrayed, never hard or shrill. The STAT-B is ideal for rock, fusion or jazz, where high amplifier levels must not present a handicap. The Schertler STAT-PRE preamplifier is included.
Cello
The Schertler STAT-C electrostatic bridge pickup stands out for its high feedback isolation and for providing a very impressive “bridge sound” without the hardness or distortion of a piezo pickup. In performance, the STAT-C delivers a full, realistic and balanced low end while the mid and high notes are finely portrayed, never hard or shrill. The STAT-C is ideal for rock, fusion or jazz, where high amplifier levels must not present a handicap. The Schertler STAT-PRE preamplifier is included.
Violin and Viola
The Schertler STAT-V electrostatic bridge pickup stands out for its high feedback isolation and for providing a very impressive “bridge sound” without the hardness or distortion of a piezo pickup. In performance, the STAT-V delivers a full, realistic and balanced low end while the mid and high notes are finely portrayed, never hard or shrill. The STAT-V is ideal for rock, fusion or jazz, where high amplifier levels must not present a handicap. The Schertler STAT-PRE preamplifier is included.
